Roger McGuinn is a cunt.

I was recently reminded what a Mike Love-esque cunt McGuinn can be. In 1989, McGuinn organised a Byrds box set on CD. The first of its kind. But what McGuinn did was deliberately ignore and slight Gene Clark (RIP).

Gene was still alive at this time, and could have done with the royalties boost. But McGuinn purposely left off legendary Clark written/sung Byrds tracks like ‘Set You Free This Time’ and ‘If You’re Gone’. In his liner note for the same box set, McGuinn failed to even mention Gene Clark (or drummer, Michael Clarke). Yet he reluctantly cosied up to David Crosby as they cashed in on a three man ‘Byrds’ reunion with Chris Hillman. Now, McGuinn usually openly despises Croz and vice versa. But the way they clubbed together in 89/90 and purposely froze Clark out absolutely stank. It appears they still resented Gene for being the main singer, songwriter and fanny magnet in the Byrds. McGuinn later pulled the same trick on Crosby himself. When he and Hillman later toured. They said it wasn’t a Byrds reunion, yet they sang their songs and made it clear Croz wasn’t welcome.

There has also been some McCartney type revisionism from McGuinn about ‘Eight Miles High’. Every sod knows that the song was Gene’s composition about a fear of flying and a first visit to London. Now with Gene sadly dead since 1991, McGuinn now says that Eight Miles High was mostly written by himself. Everyone else involved (including Crosby) disputes this. Snubbing the great Gene Clark was bad enough, but attempting to nick his most famous work too?

And don’t even start me on the crap McGuinn put out in the Byrds name after the mighty ‘Notorious Byrd Brothers’ album.

“Good afternoon. This is IsAC’s political correspondent Ron Knee, reporting to you from the Scottish parliament building in Edinburgh, where supporters of Scottish independence have gathered once more. I’m joined today by Mr Angus McCoatupp, who’s chairman of the Nicola Sturgeon Appreciation Society. Tell us Mr McCoatupp, do you expect to achieve anything specific today?”.

“Aye well reet. Wuz hee-rur fae tae make oor view plain ken. See youse, thu-rrs thoosunds, thoosunds and thoosunds, hunners o’ thoosunds o’ pee-pull fae all corr-unners o’ the cuntry, fae tae tell Wustmenstair tae do wun”.

“Hundreds of thousands? The Council estimate is twenty thousand maximum. Anyway Mr McCoatupp, have you come far today?”.

“Aye, ah’ve cam all th’ way fae London worsel’. Ah reside there fae tae earn ma livin’ ken”.

I see, no irony there then. So, having failed to achieve your objective in 2014, you’re now going all out for a second referendum, no doubt”.

“Aye, an’ a th-rudd, an’ a for-ruth, ’til wuz get whut wuz wunt ken”.

“So you don’t think that the outcome of the 2014 referendum was valid then, as it didn’t produce the result you wanted? If it had gone your way, would you have given any credence to calls for a ‘peoples’ vote’ to endorse the terms of separation once they were agreed?”.

“Awa’ an’ bile yer heid. A ‘yes’ vote wudda bin th’ TRUE voice o’ th’ pee-pull o’ Scortlund. Any trai-turrus cunts an’ quislings who widnae accept et wudda got th’ fookin’ heids kicked en”.

“So let me get this straight. The only referendum that you’re prepared to regard as valid is the one that gives you the outcome that you want”.

“Aye, an’ whit th’ fook’s it gort tae dee wi’ youse anyhoo, ya Anglish twat? Fook off back doon sooth wi’ th’ rest o’ th’ cunts. Ah, floo-ruh o’ Scortlund…”.

“Well, I’m sure that all our followers will be delighted to receive that cordial greeting from north of the border. This is Ron Knee, for IsAC, returning you to the studio”.

I was walking through Canterbury with my lady today, enjoying the day out after a phenomenal 80 oz beef burger, when suddenly I heard a distant male voice shouting on the high street “DOWN WITH CAPITALISM…WE MUST END CAPITALISM TO SAVE THE PLANET!!!”

As I looked ahead it was a couple of those street canvassers who had set up a table to waffle on about impending doom etc. Leaflets on the table, I thought, oh look ere. Usually, it’s a crackpot Christian. But, this time it’s a couple of brainwashed useful idiot twats trying to push Socialism on us by pretending it’s the only way to save the planet. Middle-aged couple by the looks of them. My lady said, “They look like some of those weirdos from the Labour Party Conference video you showed me the other day”. I complimented her observation.

I said to my gf, “I better leave it, eh? I better not get involved”. She said “ok”. It’s unusual for me to engage morons because I feel sorry for them, in a way, and I wanted the nice day out to continue unabated.

But, as we walked past them, I heard it one more time “END CAPITALISM!!!”. So, unable to resist the urge, I took the bait. I turned and politely, I said: “Well actually, I quite like Capitalism”. I turned back in the direction I was walking. I was gonna leave it there. Then the man replied, “But, Capitalism is evil”. I paused, turned around.

I was in.

I said calmly, “Crony Capitalism is the problem. But, what are you going to replace Capitalism with? Socialism? Socialism is a catastrophe. When you’ve come up with a better plan then we can talk”. I half-turned again. But, now it was the woman’s turn to try me. “Give me an example of where Socialism is a catastrophe”. I took a deep breath. I was ready…

Then, as if on perfect cue, a middle-aged gentleman with an Eastern European accent walked past the scene and said “Try USSR. You fucking nutters”. It was so perfect. A man who had likely seen and lived the disastrous consequences of Communism casually giving this cretin a history lesson

Slightly laughing at the perfection I just witnessed, I continued “Yeah, the USSR. But, let’s try Venezuela”

She goes, “That’s not real Socialism”

I mean, this is almost an internet cliche of how a Socialism vs Capitalism debate goes. Capitalists say Socialism doesn’t work. Socialist moves goalposts by saying it’s never been tried properly. My lady is pulling at my arm at this point. But, I’m calm. Though slightly adrenalised with excitement.

I simply said, “Venezuela is the definition of Socialism”

She said, “But that’s not true. Real Socialism comes after revolution”

Realising this woman is an avowed, ideologically brainwashed Socialist, I said “Okay then. Tell me an example of true Socialism in the world”.

She paused, looked up in the air as the hamster in her brain desperately peddled for an answer. Silence. Continued silence, and one more slack-jawed search around that empty skull of hers. Nothing. So, I continued.

“Right, you can’t think of one, because apparently it’s never been tried. So, how do you know Socialism is the answer if it’s never been successfully implemented?…Exactly, see you later”. I turned and walked off. I could’ve stuck around but I’ve learned to keep things short and sweet and besides, when you argue with idiots, from a distance you both look the same, as they say.

I mean, these thick fuckers are roundly trounced by the simplest of logic. And by thick fuckers I mean Socialists. I’ve never seen one win a full debate. I understand hate for corporate monopolies. I hate price-fixing, inside trading, cronyism, and exploitation of Amazon employees as much as the next man, for example. But, tell me you really think Capitalism should be torn down and I will show you a world where Climate Change (if you believe in the man-made theory) is never solved or fixed. Worse still, a world where all of medical science was never invented if you believe Capitalism should never have occurred. The only thing that will get us out of it is the same thing that got us here: innovation, industry, and pioneering, free-market Capitalism.

Anyway, please feel free, if you’re in the Canterbury area, to go and have some fun by owning these retards in a mini-debate. Like shooting fish in a barrel, with a bazooka.
