Hey Chris, Yeah, I actually like the Stones music. And Modern English only had one song--who are they to be snobs?

I had a friend who drove them around also for a few of their shows here in MI (he worked for the promoter/venue and had to shuttle around bands all the time). I am guessing late 80s early 90s. Basically he said if you were to think of a stereotypical, miserable, English person it would be everyone in New Order. But Modern English bested them in 1990 (whenever they tried to, pathetically, revive their career). They thought the world shoudl have worshiped the ground they walk on. BUT. The Rolling Stones I guess continue to still be, genuinely, nice chaps
