They never really say anything especially politically relevant, it's usually pretty abstract. An astute comment on Thatcher would have been nice.

something for future interviews methinks. I'm sure he'll be asked

A comment on Thatcher could have been nice, but haven't we read, heard all sides of the story over the past two weeks? Morrissey's release was a little over the top I thought.

But that's the Manics. If everyone else is doing it, they won't.

I can't be the only one who thought the title relates to how they believe everyone should view Generation Terrorists.

"Twenty years later and it's difficult to comprehend how anyone could have resisted it; these songs still seethe with more ideas and ambition than every other British rock album of the era put together."

Maybe it's about the place Sutherland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland

"Notable people with Sutherland connections:
Joe Strummer (1952-2002), Frontman of The Clash. Born John Graham Mellor in Ankara, Turkey. His mother, Anna Mackenzie, was a crofter's daughter born and raised in Bonar Bridge."

Now all you completist collectors are gonna have to fight it out between you to find and mug this man first.

@jasonmbbc has the exclusive Manics track for #rwmd13 in his hands. The first play is just after 12.50 today.

Could be a song about seeing the world on a bike.
