[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]yea i was going to say that!

did paul even write the drums to Guns of Brixton[/QUOTE]

Ehh, I'm not sure. But on the Vanilla tapes he was telling Topper when to come in and stuff.

Townie is a youth subculture from england. They are usually lower to lower middle class, and wear cheap track-suits and huge gaudy fake jewlery. They tend to be found more often in bigger cities in London. They listen to rap and the new fad in england, trip-hop. They like to stab people, especially people of other subcultures, such as mods, punks, metal head, whatever. If its in a city you'll be ok as most of them are just skinny kids who smoke too much, but if its at school or something you can't really fight back, or he'll, as my friend matt puts it, "get his loser dad or older brother to give you a good kicking, because they all have older loser friends/family".

I always thought of a townie as someone who goes into town at sunup, leaves at sundown.

after tom's description of a townie, i really dont see why joe called himself a townie.cause he did.in an interview in let fury have the hour.

Maybe a townie was something different when Joe was a kid.

oh, he probably just ment someone from the city or something, which I guess would be another definition

so townies are like american gangs?

Uh, I suppose you could say that, except they are usually white where as american gangs are traditionally thought of as minorities. They're a bit like the mafia where as they are all thought of as the same entity, but there is warring between families.

Yea, but in America, they're fat kids who smoke too much. Sorry for off-topic post.

you said that were gaudy jewlery..i dont know what gaudy means but on Westway..when it shoes Paul he has a bunch of rings and necklaces

like overly huge, obviously fake, cheap stuff

think like those huge class rings seniors wear, but totally fake and all gold

ooh...townies seem like idiots


/going to bed peace yall

I've got a qustion for Travis. You know how you've posted a few times about Joe hitting some guy on the head with his telecaster? Do you know the full story, like why Joe did it and what happened?

EDIT: goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite, and answer my question tomorrow!! :D

I read somewhere a while ago that at one stage in the late seventies bernie wanted to change Mick with Steve from the sex pistols.

Malcome Mclauren once tried to sign C'ock Sparrer, but he was too stingy to buy them drinks, so they refused. Next thing you know SEx Pistols were the biggest thing in England - the very band C'ock Sparrer were supposed to tour/gain succes with.

very off topic, but that reminded me of that little story
