the dutch AND opera is a contradictio in terminis, lol. we hate opera ( except Mozart en Beethoven afcourse……. afcourse ! )
Ghost Town by The Specials
Like all Mark Steel`s lectures funny and brilliant. I particular liked the line said in a matter of fact way
“He went to cambridge with his bear”
I don’t understand the connection between the quote to the sentence above. Byron and Baudelaire are not “plain” Romantics, but far from being classicists.
And in his maximen und reflexionen
we need more poets like Byron, Goethe, Schiller, Baudelaire etc, those which write their books in ‘blood’or with other words, who outlived every sentence in it, and not plain romantacism. Goethe said: Romantism is sick, classicism is healthy ( Eckermann gespräche )
You really are a complete tool aren’t you?
Thank you for putting this up, Coughsirup.
Quite probably, but as I’ve only brothers would they do? As opposed to yourself, who has clearly already done so; and that is doubtless a family tradition judging by your obvious inbreeding.
well suited cromwell quote!
I love it when the bear flags down the bus!
bear? lol.
Ancient, withered or what! I’d give ‘er one. But then I am 52.
Love, like a river, will cut a new path
whenever it meets an obstacle.
die of cancer fucking pig dung
Thats it, passion, anger, emotion; the force is strong in this one!!! Soon you to will be buggering anything in sight, and shagging your sister!!
‘fuck the maker of this video, die of cancer’ – are you really that much of an idiot? Simply because you disagree with the content you vomit forth bile. As with all Mark Steel lectures, it doesn’t humiliate and defame its subject, but shows them ‘warts and all’.
Does seem to be a bit of a whitewash – why’s he being portrayed as a fop and not the cold cruel bastard we know and love?
can you fuckers ever produce a decent documentary that doesn’t humiliate and defame a great figure such as LORD BYRON?
fuck the maker of this video, die of cancer.
lmao, The bear!
who’s song is it at 4:56?
Bono’s a tool, agreed.
One of my favourites – thanks for uploading.
Go see Mark Steel live if you get chance. Just as funny.
The Specials and Joy Division, Mark Steel had great taste in music, i met him when he came to play at Portsmouth, such a smart man his views on bono were spot on
Thanks for uploading these.
