Mark Morris of The Bluetones

As for his statement... oh dear, what a mess.

I think, on balance, the only thing any of us can do is believe them both.

I saw Mark Morris sometime recently, but pre-covid, (likely 2017 or 2018).

He was supporting Jim Bob, (ex Carter USM frontman*),

I have to say that Morris being a bit a ladies man, or the nasty piece of work as reported, seems very surprising going by the awkward looking performer I saw on stage then, he had absolutely no stage presence/stagecraft compared to the headliner.

The Bluetones were having top 5 hits in the mid 90s weren't they? 





*very extremely unlikely he's been a misogynistic sex pest, but then his fame was pre-Britpop so maybe that explains it.

I mean, I'm not surprised in the least that an awkward, uncharismatic person might use the status given to him by being in a rock group to have lots of sex with lots of women. It's a story as old as time.

Fairly sure I'd have had a lot more sex in my life if I'd been on Top of the Pops. And I'm equally certain that a fair number of the people with whom I'd had the sex might feel pretty unhappy afterwards - as if I'd mis-sold myself somehow.

Very true, but at first glance I thought you'd said

"...as if I'd mis-soiled myself somehow."

And maybe that's the REAL issue here.

Let's not forget all the cars he probably shagged

Meanwhile the 'If I'm lying, sue me' gambit employed by his wife betrays a real misunderstanding about how the law works.

He said he liked my single "Koochie Ryder" at an Idler party almost 30 years ago so I gave him my spliff.
