Horrible Story..

#1 Post by y3potential »

I remember seeing this story in the news when it first happened. Apparently the guy claims he heard subliminal messages in West End girls's telling him to do it.. I'm sure Neil & Chris would be appalled to know a song of their's would be misinterpreted in this way..

Oh well. From the title I thought maybe someone of significance was significantly injured or had passed way.
The guy wasn't even harmed at all. Who cares?
I suppose the only interesting thing here is how lyrics of a song can influence something.
And this is publicity for PSB.

The judge was clearly an Erasure fan.

"The court heard that he had told Dr Anneka John-Kamen, a psychiatrist, that he had gone to the West End after hearing the song West End Girls on the radio, believing it was giving him instructions. Hilliard dismissed the significance of this."

I'm waiting for someone to get the clip of the incident and put West End girls as the background music. Unofficial video.
