Very well put! I asked Bruce about his 'music' consumption when we were both outside the club having a ciggie prior to Wire's warm up gig for the Flag burning event. I'd heard about his not consuming music on the radio interview shortly before. He did admit to going to gigs which smarty pants (me) then suggested was just a different form of consumption. The thing I find odd is that the implication of all this is that Bruce doesn't listen to music except his outside of gigs. So by implication, he doesn't use music in the way Fergus describes above - except at gigs? But that's what's good about it!! > > Uri said: > >>>It's so in touch that it begs the question who wrote > > it? No one is credited.

I've been corrected and apparently there is a credit there although i couldn't spot it and you are correct about suspicions well founded :) .
