New postal interview with Nicky Wire up at Delirium on Helium

[yanushka]

Haha some opinion Maybe because he had bad experiences in the past, he's more careful about what he says now, when he's all older and middle aged (heh). Offering the solution is a question that people smarter than him don't have an answer to, I agree, but there were others as well.

I can imagine him being tired of those question, or maybe not bothered at all or whatever, but, hey, he's Mr "Igotapoliticsdegreesuckonthatbitchez", and now people (us, fans, whoever), actually do expect him to act that way and gives his opinion when he's asked to. Actually, I'm here, bcz I saw an interview with Russell Brand on Newsnight (I don't know nothing about that, I'm not from the UK, I son't know who Jeremy Paxman is. I'll google it, after I'm done with my exam). Anyway, yeah, I saw this, and I was so surprised how Russell came across, he spoke with so much passion, maybe he hasn't offered any solutions, but hey,he's a celebrity, and yet he looks like he cares than most of the politicians (left or right). Also, I remembered that I read an article he wrote about the riots 2 years ago, so I found it again last night, and wow. I mean, wow. Had no idea he's so articulate and...ok, Russell's not a point here, I know that he probably annoys the shit out of many people here, and that's fine, but, for example, that's the difference, Russell can stay in Hollywood, enjoy his career and supermodels or whatever, yet he still chooses to talk about issues, while Nicky, the political lyricist, Mr Politics Degree, socialist (sort of heh), whenever he's asked a question, goes along the lines: "I see no hope for humanity, it's all an utter despair, blah blah, makes me wanna give up, blah blah"

I'm not saying that RB is better than Nicky, I like them both, I'm just saying, that sometimes, Nicky could've put a bit more effort in answering those questions. There.

Agreed, he writes pseudo-political lyrics, but he very rarely has much insightful to say about politics outside his songs.

Wow, I've heard farts with more insight.
The fact people call them a political band is hilarious.
Richey was the only one with a political mindset, imagine those questions given to them pre 1995, and the answers you'd get then compared to now.
Manic Street Poseurs. Total joke.

I think James has more to say politically than Nicky anyway!

Sure he was political in a flip flop kind of way, but he was far too self involved for me to ever take him completely serious.

Incidently, I dig Richey - always have - but the kind of herowhorship you seem to have for him is really rather nauseating and makes me not want to care about him at all.

I think some people take Richey far more seriously than he ever really did himself!

True.

… well I did anyway, thanks for doing these interviews Lindz. Not the most cheerful of answers from Nicky, but I think some of the comments in this thread depressed me more tbh!
