I went to see him years and years ago and he made a racist comment during one of his ad libs (can't remember what it was exactly, but something to do with 'Asian ladies'). It went down like a lead balloon in the audience, everyone went very quiet, side-eying each other and there was some booing, it was all very awkward and spoiled the whole night. So I've never really understood the love for him, because those who are into his poetry must know about this undercurrent of nastiness in him (I was dragged along to the gig by a pal so wasn't really aware of his work).

Thank you @Cookiecookie Weezer have a sense of humour. Teenage Dirtbag is pap. So is Jack.
The video for teenage dirtbag was parts of the film " loser" with Jason Biggs and Mena survari, an equally terrible movie.
Also was that the big revenge of spite. 2 mins making something she made before and equally as terrible. Cool.
Her revenge is lukewarm isn't it?

I was in a branch of Sainsbury’s yesterday afternoon and there were no checkout staff at all. There were a couple of very harassed staff directing customers through the self service tills. Apparently, they’re cutting hours and they’ve f****d up massively in doing so. Asda may be tight fisted t**ts but I suspect that others are following and letting Asda be the stooge.Jack’s favourite paper dissing her favourite (only) supermarket for creating the poors.

I like that song reminds me of dancing in sweaty rock pub when I was a kid. Well, 17 or so ha. I thought it was he drives and I rock too. I don’t think it’s incel-y at all! They get together at the end of the song because they both like Iron Maiden 
The film is rubbish tho. Whatever happened to Jason Biggs??
ETA I await with anticipation Jack fixing Asda pay grades like she did their smart price range. So, not at all.

Jack never fact checks, the squigs never fact check, it's like an ever decreasing circle of fact-free information.
Wheatus are about as edgy as a balloon. Their music is shite, as is KT Tunstall, and Celine Dion, well…
Teenage Dirtbag is one of those bratty sounding American songs I’d put on a par with Blink 182. Just all so lame.
off topic:
those who are not in favour of JCC, in particular the use of the phrase Nancy Boy (which I think someone bleeped out yesterday; any thoughts on the Moloko track of the same name?
I don’t know/don’t recall the context JCC used it in as a comparison to the song, but agree it’s an outdated phrase. Perhaps someone can educate me if there’s a stark difference between the uses.

The supermarket pay thing has been going on for over a decade, and Jack’s career only started then so don’t let her do another surestart “I invented equal pay when I worked on the cheese counter” bollox.
JCC isn’t gay or trans afaik
Stark difference is N****B** was directed at Brian as an insult and he is reclaiming it. Like when gay people took the “queer” insult back.

I went off Gill Scott Heron for the same reason. Different terminology but same piss poor attitude
I was thinking the very same about a month or so ago and then he popped up in a couple of episodes of Law and Order SVU as a hate crimes detective (I watch SVU because I find Olivia Benson very soothing-however horrible the crime, all is just better in the world if Liv is about)I like that song reminds me of dancing in sweaty rock pub when I was a kid.

Back on topic, Jack is a nob
Jack will be delighted because we are not drawing attention to her DISASTEROUS appearance on 'Lorraine' and just how tit she is on TV.
BIB for thread title nomination
Morning ninnies. Some #SaturdayStats because I clearly have nothing better to do with my weekend:
It's been 19 hours since Jack told Twitter she was cooking the previous evening's GORGEOUS dinner again in order to photograph and share it.
It's been exactly 11 weeks since she announced the Vainglorious Blimp Index and said it was going to take her "the weekend" to pull together.
It's been almost 3 months since she told her followers she was going to softly, gently, restfully aim to post three new recipes a week (and pinky promised to post the broccoli breakfast pasta recipe later that day). A grand total of zero recipes has been posted.
It's been 3 months and 2 weeks since she claimed a crack team of a dozen tech experts were working round the clock to fix her WordPress site, which is still stuck on a backup from 2018 (she's tapped her followers for repair donations TWICE since then).
It's been exactly 4 months and 1 week since she said she was putting the framed prints of her completely unedited tree photo up for sale "this evening". There is still no trace of said prints in her online shop.
It's been 1 year and 5 weeks since she posted "Good morning from me and my book deadline!" on Twitter. She is still, somehow, editing this same book.
It's been over 1 year and 4 months since she posted an update for her Patreon subscribers (not even a brief "thank you" message after the influx of hundreds of new mugs in February).

Do you mean Placebo dear heart? The singer is Brian Molko?
My take would be that Placebo's track is written/sung by and from the point of view of a bisexual man who enjoyed wearing makeup and was perceived as the Nancy Boy of the title.
John Cooper Clarke - not so much.
So much to catch up on - it’s taking me ages as I’m alternately cackling at the Harold plot twist and being downright terrified of him (I think it’s the teeth).
But I did just want to check that the current 2 minute slot on NotLorraine SuperShitSavers is truly the long-awaited gig of a life time that has her exhausted?
Really? And I thought my career had stalled…
(mind you my woes are more to do with public sector freezes and less to do with being unimprovably shite at my job…)

Makes perfect sense, thanks for explaining.
Yes I do mean Placebo, thank you very much. And dear Totes has also explained.
Thanks cabal for educating me.
Sorry Hotes but I felt ‘career’ needed the inverted commas.
And this naughty ad placement from our war criminal/master social media ad manipulator
can’t you just picture Ballet Jack 🩰, tiptoes aflame, dancing in the title role (natch) of the semi true story of Jack by Jack Monroe.
Something nice to do with your children during this 2 week end of term holiday
, don’t you think?

factsJCC is very much of his time. like opal fruits and does anyone remember... Neither him or his material have aged well.
I know Jack is claiming to be a big fan. but apart from on Beasley Street' it is doubtful if Jack is familiar with his work.
