Apparently Ian Brown is an anti vaxxer because of course he is.
I had to look that up... and frankly he always seemed like a schmuck.

He is:

Little Seed Big Tree included lyrics about a "false vaccine" and a "plan to chip us all, to have complete control" - a conspiracy theory that has repeatedly been debunked.

So, that's that, then. I never was a big Stone Roses fan, anyway. The music hasn't really aged all that well, the second album is awful, Ian Brown is an asshole.

I mean, what's that song where the one guy plays wah-wah white boy funk over a sample of "Funky Drummer"?

Pfft. Fuck that.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Fool’s Gold. I adored Fool’s Gold when it came out and am still really fond of it - time, place, and youth - happy memories!

But yes, Ian Brown goes in the arse bin with Morrissey.

I thought it might be Elephant Stone, so I listened to that song again... that's a very good tune.

Sadly, some of my favorite artists and musicians are terrible people. And some of my favorite people are terrible artists and musicians.

you can buy John Squire's heavily modded Fender Twin Reverb for 13K USD.

https://reverb.com/item/38933083-fender ... 970s-black

This is the amp he used through the Roses and up to playing with Oasis at Knebworth in '96.
He retired it after that gig and switched to Mesa Boogie for the Seahorses and the Roses reunion.

I saw it in Denmark St along with a £7k Music Man head with a small faces logo sprayed on it.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

One of their recent songs was a rip off of the theme from Muskerhounds

Totally agree with CivoLee about first and second album.

How is that person still allowed to trade? The story of his serial deceptions is not exactly secret.
