I was listening to the Crocodiles/HUH live recording when the missus walks by and says
"and you think that's the greatest voice in rock music history?" very dismissively.
I immediately said "Shut the fuck up bitch. Ian McCulloch has the greatest, most versatile voice ever. Greater than Elvis, Roy Orbison and Glenn Danzig. Now get your bitch ass in the kitchen and cook me something before I put you back out on the streets." ***
It's funny I have no problem when any of us criticize the Bunnymen but when anyone else does I immediately come to their defense.
I suppose deep down we all want good things for them and one last jagged pop masterpiece. Even somewhere in the darkest corner of Scouser's black heart there's a little boy wanting to dad dance to a new Bunnymen masterpiece.
