And in the album's promotional materials, I found this quote about Shaun Ryder:
Former Factory records boss Tony Wilson and U2’s Bono have also heaped praise on his lyrics, Wilson comparing Ryder to WB Yeats, Bono claiming the Mondays singer as one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
Did anyone else know that Bono once had a drinking problem? Or do you think he just owed someone a favor? Or was it actually Sonny Bono that said that? I love the Happy Mondays and all... but their lyrics aren't really what hooked me. Well, that part where they yell "Call the COPS!" is extremely cool.
