wolfie66 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ready for a shock ? You were never a mod ! You were a post-Quadrophenia Mod Revivalist -bit like the 70's Teddy Boys and the exact opposite of the Mod ethos. If you were a little older you would have been one of those "Mod" invaders who spoilt the Casino in the last years. As you rightly say not cool at all.... What a load of complete & utter b*ll*cks One bad experience with some kids on a train eh? Of course I thought I was cool as a mod - my point was that as far as everyone else was concerned, and certainly is now, that sort of sub-culture is not 'cool'. Having someone tell me I wasn't a mod 'cos I wasn't one in the 60's is like those on here who think Wigan was the be-all and end-all of soul - it isn't, just a happy circumstance of timing - and that's your Mum & Dad's, not yours so even that doesn't single you out as something 'special' I thought the disco music & commercialisation spoilt the Casino anyway? Anyway, I wasn't a 'mod' - I was the fahkin' Ace Face mate! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

wolfie66 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Please yerself - I've never been anywhere better, at the time or after it And that's why it's so special to you and thousands of others Pete, but to a mere puppy like myself who was born too late it's other places - mines the 100 club for soul music though the best was a forest near Stroud for me different music, different times. However it's all a matter of circumstance, and one persons experience is no more 'relevant' than anothers at a different time. If Wigan was the end thatmeans there's an awful lot of 'pretenders' about - many on here? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Wrongcrowd Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Why because...God Forbid...everyone might just start enjoying themselves instead of ripping apart everything and anyone who shows even the remotest interest in the scene? Everything that is good about the scene??! I think posts like yours highlight the very worst aspect of this scene...you think this post you made is constructive? Next time you decide to post personal drivel in an attempt to belittle...make sure you don't start your sentence with such wholesome intentions And you think posts like this are grown up? I've seen kids in the playground behave in a more Adult way...i'll tell you what...why don't you move on and let folks with a genuine interest in music(Not moaning) get on with what they are best at.... Having a damn good time So what I understand from your arguements are the following - 1. Anyone that might express an opinion of care about the music, not completely in agreement with your very limited perception is "ripping apart" everything and everyone. Do you really believe that you speak for the knowledgable majority 2. That posts (like mine) highlight the worst aspects of the scene. Yeah you're right on this one, people like you are amongst the worst aspects of the scene. You have nothing to offer that has not already been contributed, but you really belive you do, and that's very sad, not to mention irritating. 3. That you actually believe that anyone with a contrary position to you has no genuine interest in the scene. I honestly thought my advice to you to find another place to play was constructive, and in the best interests of the scene (and definitely this site).....but then what do I know, I'm bound to have a very different perspective than someone that's been around for as little time as you have. Oh, and one last thing. It really is possible to have a serious passion for the music, and enjoy yourself at the same time...........don't know where you come from on the mutual exclusivity ? POG, by the way, a a bit of telly fun, full of clowns........nothing at all to do with the music Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 THEN YOU'VE BLOODY LITTLE ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT, A 25 YEAR OLD LAD MAKING A FEW QUID ON A DAFT PROGRAMME ON TV... GET A GRIP... HARDLY THE DOWNFALL OF THE NORTHERN SCENE ITS WITHSTOOD MUCH WORSE AND IT'S STILL GOING STRONG... DO WE REALLY GIVE A FLYING F**K WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF US.. WE KNOW HOW THINGS ARE TODAY MOST OF US HAVE MOVED ON AND ARE ENJOYIN THE MUSIC FAR MORE THAN WE DID 30 YEARS AGO... SOUL REMIT MY ARSE... IF WE'RE HONEST MOST OF US ARE JUST GLAD TO STILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT TO VENUES TO DANCE AND HEAR THE ODD TUNE WE'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE OR FOR A WHILE ANYWAY, IT DOES'NT MEAN WE LOVE THE SCENE LESS JUST BECAUSE SOME OF US DONT GIVE A KIPPERS DICK IF SOME YOUNG PEOPLE WANNA MAKE A FEW QUID OUT OF IT... THOSE DAYS ARE OVER SO WE BETTER GET OVER OURSELVES... KEEP DANCIN AND YES DARE I SAY KEEP THE FAITH BUT FOOK WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO.... TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE. AND WE CANT GO WRONG..........

Guest Beeks Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) So what I understand from your arguements are the following - Do you really believe that you speak for the knowledgable majority Do you really believe that to be knowledgable you need to be an arsehole? Yeah you're right on this one, people like you are amongst the worst aspects of the scene. You have nothing to offer that has not already been contributed, but you really belive you do, and that's very sad, not to mention irritating. I have absolutely NO DOUBT that I am not the first to point out your social shortcomings...so you are right...i'm not telling you anything you don't already know...it's just a shame that if you have indeed heard this before that you have not acted on it and become a better person...and I apologise if I irritate but like trying to help everyone with deep seated emotional issues...sometimes you just have to be cruel to be kind... I honestly thought my advice to you to find another place to play was constructive, and in the best interests of the scene (and definitely this site).....but then what do I know, I'm bound to have a very different perspective than someone that's been around for as little time as you have. Like all immature adults with behavioural problems...change can be scary...I'd like to think I am helping you adjust...I know it's a strange world out there full of nice people...friendly smiling faces and acceptance...and although it might take time...i'd like to think in the future you might actually be able to assimulate yourself into the general soul population without feeling the need to revert back to the nasty piece of work you once were... Oh, and one last thing. It really is possible to have a serious passion for the music, and enjoy yourself at the same time...........don't know where you come from on the mutual exclusivity ? Again...if enjoying yourself is logging into a website and transforming yourself into the self styled saviour of Northern Soul whilst simultaneously cutting down those infidels who dare to disagree with your opinion(And lets face it that's all it is) denotes enjoyment...perhaps you should take up less stressful activities...like maybe crochet Me...i'd rather be dancing...burns off more calories and prolongs life expectancy Edited October 19, 2008 by Beeks Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Oh I do love this all inclusive scene that I am a part of where the only thing that matters is a love for the music I do worry that the scene will in the vast majority will end with the passing of the same generation that created it I dont remember anyone asking for a certificate in knowledge of the scene or having to prove that I was "time served" when I first started going to Wigan or taking the piss when I said something stupid as I was just learning Of course there wasnt this medium for people to pontificate on to Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
