Re: OT Primal Scream: Country Girl

I've seen the Scream a good few times; on one occasion (the night Kurt Cobain's death became known in 1994) at Brixton Academy they were absolutely brilliant - I went back a couple of nights later. But I just cannot see the point in a song like Country Girl. Yes, it's nice and upbeat and rock n'roll, but is so generic it's almost like Lesson 1 in a course of How To Write A Song Like The Stones or The Faces. And, sorry Syracuse, but the album, to me, is a complete load of pants.
And Roll73; I completely agree with you as regards Mani. I love The Stone Roses anyway and I love his bass-playing. He was DJing at a gig my band headlined a few months back and he was a proper gentleman. Chatted with us all and played a great DJ set. A real geezer.
