by davoirgoir
morrissey is not cool
he is a twat
is he? is he really?
hmm? Hmm?
yes. yes he is.
he really. really is.
but is he though?
i mean really?
'irish blood, english heart'
i just don't have to say more.
why does that make him a twat?
surely you can empaphise with that song?
IT'S AWFUL SHUT UP
I HATE HIM
He's amazing.
You suck.
etc
Yeahh!
Morrissey is living legend. I would kiss that man
As is Vincent Gallo
Ponce.

sarky???
....
Johnny Marr
Thierry Henry
Nick Cave
Thurston Moore
Kym Gordon
Dave Benson Phillips
Marr?
Marr?
Surely the least cool man alive today. But handy at the axe.
nah
I saw him playing with Modest Mouse at connect and he oozed cool.
The three times I have seen them this year
he was cool until he opened his mouth and then he was just an embarrassment.
Really?
I saw him with Modest Mouse at ATP and he just looked and sounded like a doofus.
I thought he looked really cool
but then again, I had drunk at least 18 pints that day.
He was
toe curlingly square at ATP wasnt he? It was when he said "its so great to be playing at a proper festival with scallies and that" that I particularly wanted to kill him.
Errrr, having had a quick look round its mainly white middle class guys with no hair and specs actually Johnny......
Terry Henry????
I know you're a goon, but even you must appreciate what an arrogant shite that fella is?? Makes his current capitulation in La Liga all the more amusing...
Dave Benson-Phillips I'll give you.
arrogant, of course
but that doesn't take away from his coolness. If anything, it adds to it.

This thread makes me upset that Serge Gainsbourg is dead.
bf
Ha! 1 and 4 are twats, 5 and 6, the jury's out, and the rest I don't really know
All my heroes are dead :(
tom stoppard is a bit of a twat
He's married to Miriam Stoppard for christs sake
His plays are class though, and Sarah Silverman is pretty cool.
I would like to say that Thom Yorke, as much as i love him is not cool. He's pretty fucking cool, but he's not cool.
I think Scarlett Johannsen would have been on here if she hadnt done all those shit adverts for perfume and Rebok and makeup. And if she didnt turn into such a dick after Lost in Translation
