Random mockery
Had a bit of Sisters of Mercy sesh this afternoon. Which was nice. Listening to Vision Thing again brought back to mind the review from the student rag when I was at Leeds. An oh-so-superior reviewer with an inverted-snob thing about Goths was doing his best to rubbish it.
Given Eldritch’s lyrics are usually fairly random it shouldn’t have been that hard, but this chap managed to blow both feet off with his own shotgun quite neatly with the gem:
It’s just a pointless list of places he’s been:
… I caught something weird in Encenada
I’ve a brother of sorts in Torquemada …and where the hell is Torquemada anyway? It doesn’t even exist …
Even after all these years, it’s still funny. Always remember children, if you’re going to mock, make sure you’ve got at least a vague idea of what you’re talking about …
