Not sure hilarious is the word I would use to describe a man who made a whole career out of covering american R&B music with the Yardbirds etc. only to say such a shte comment later in his career. He is king shit of turd mountain.

I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white! "

this next track is called "Boom Boom" thanks...

Yeah. The man is despicable. At least Morrissey's music is white as paper.

At least Clapton could blame drugs. Morrisey said something like, "the Chinese are sub-human." That's pretty egregious, even in context.

He was speaking as a vegetarian on the abuse of animals, dogs etc. Yes what he said was very offensive but I suppose he wanted people to know how strong he felt about the subject. It doesn't make it right and I don't agree with him either but as a dog owner I understand the anger.

Well, until the reunion at least.

When Oasis, at some big stadium gig or another, were supported by the Bootleg Beatle, Liam, under the influence of something, spent the whole evening backstage chatting with the Lennon impersonator, calling him 'John.' I quite like that loss of a grip on reality.
