Earthquake Comments

I predict Steve Wright will make some obnoxious remarks about last night’s earthquake in today’s show – well I say ‘show’ but ‘gut wrenching stream of utter rubbish’ would be a better description.

 

Mind you, on this occasion I don't think Steve Wright will be alone in making crass commenst about this – the whole country is at it if you listened to Jeremy Vine today!!

Is there any better example for why I hate Steve Wright?

So, here I am, working away at my desk trying my hardest not to listen to the inane drivel playing on Radio 2 in the afternoons when I hear Steve Wright say to Liza Minnelli:

 

"Can you tell me what it’s like, and I know you're going to be all modest now, but what is it like to hold an iconic status"

 

Now, I’m not debating whether Liza has an iconic status or not – but OH MY GOD, am I ever loathing how Steve Wright takes his role as a complete sycophant to new levels when interviewing anyone well known.

 

Please, pass me the sick bag......

Ok, last one today, but I was on a roll!!

One final anti-Steve Wright posting I found.

I won’t publish it all as there is a brief moment of bad language on it, but the opening paragraph is referring to Mr Wrights initial dislike of the Smiths, and how that is in contrast to his expected sycophantic approach to Morrissey these days. Some of the comments are less restrained about SW.

Smiths/Morrissey on TOTP2 this week

posted by davidt on Tuesday May 21 2002, @11:00PM rallen writes: The Smiths were on Top of the Pops Two today, with Sandie Shaw, performing "Hand In Glove" from 1984. The presenter Steve Wright (that fearsome oik, who always hated the Smiths, and consequently was the dj that the song "Panic" was aimed at) said in tribute to his birthday this week they were showing this and tomorrow (Wednesday) Top of the Pops will show a Morrissey performance, which is nice. It's strange that Steve Wright hated the Smiths in the days when he was a radio 1 dj but now he's cosying up to them. They get referred to quite a lot on Top of the Pops.

Chris Bland - a man after my own heart

Just after my last post, I looked a little further and found that Chris also had a similar feeling about another of Steve Wrights albums, as Chris himself explains:

======>

Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs Vol.3: the New Collection - 41 More Seductive Sunday Classics

Availability: Currently unavailable [AW Says – thank god for small mercies!!]

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Love the album steve, 4 Dec 2007 A complex musical concept album really for those with an IQ below 12. full of songs only people who wear matching outdoor clothes like, it drones on like his weekday afternoon show slowly killing you from the inside. if you have no self respect and love doin a mick jagger impression every time you hear a rolling stones song then this album is for you. Like this album? then why not try Bruno Brooke's Death metal anthems or Sarah Kennedy Tells the jokes of bernard manning and Roy "Chubby" Brown

Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs Vol.2 - what a load of ....!

I was just browsing through stuff when I came across a review of Steve Wright’s latest sickening offering – and it made me smile.

 

This was posted on Amazon.co.uk (see amazon comments)

 

The best thing about this is that so far 9 out of 9 people said they found the comment helpful, which I think says it all J

 

So, for your enjoyment, over to Chris....

Holy sweet mother of Mary - Steve Wright was just funny!

No really, I mean it – it’s happened.

 

After what seems to have been a life time of pain and tired old jokes, unchanged format and "Steve Wright in the Eighties" banter, he’s just made me laugh.

 

Now, I still think that SW, his show and certainly his sycophantic co-presenters are all the most useless radio presenters since Guglielmo Marconi transmitted the first commercial broadcast in 1893, BUT  ...   credit where credit is due, he said a one liner today that made me laugh.

 

Was it enough to make up for all the truly atrocious radio I’ve been subject to, courtesy of Himself? Er ... no, of course not, but it was a moment in my day that will live long into the next 5 minutes.

 

I guess it just goes to show that even talentless dipsticks can have off-days and actually do something almost well.

What's more depressing than having to work on Sunday mornings?

I’ll tell you what’s more depressing than having to work on Sunday mornings – having to do it listening to Steve Wright and his mind-numbing love songs! It’s not even live – so he takes time to perfect the art of inane drivel and vomit-inducing ‘banter’ to a new level.

 

And what is it about the audience to this, dare I say, ‘show’ that compels them to send in such pathetic dedications to their love ones that serve only to cement their role in society as ‘clearly in need of a life’ – Come on people, do you *really* spend all morning in bed with your chubby-hubby listening to these two hours of mush? How have you got so little in your life to do, that this is considered an actual activity?

 

I don't know who’s worst, Steve Wright for A) hosting the show and B) for, well, being such a nauseating git. Or the audience for contributing to the show with stomach-churning public displays of affection – and what’s more these people contribute to the gene-pool of our society - they must be stopped!

 

So, tomorrow morning I’ll not only be working but, due to various reasons, I’ll be doing it listening to Steve Wright’s love songs – OUCH – I guess it’ll be the mute button for me then!
