Spot On,this says it all,absolutely awesome !

I too discovered Brian due to The Pure Morning video, though it was two years later that I realised how much he and the band meant to me, as I usually am only attracted to females ! Put it this way Brian is the fantasy woman in my life !

Keep up the good work girl !

Hiya,

I've loved Placebo for years (although I'm nowhere near as obsessed as I was) & now I'm past caring if people think me liking them is strange. It's not hurting anyone. As soon as I hear the intro to 'Pure Morning' it cheers me up. Their 2nd album in particular holds loads of memories for me but if you played it to anyone else it wouldn't mean anything.

In answer to whether it's silly to like Molko so much when you'll never meet him, no, I don't think so -- depends whether your love for him takes over your life or not! I wouldn't want to meet him either. Would we still love him if we could have him, I wonder? (me 1st ( ... )

Thank you for taking the time to read my article first of all and what you said was very well written. Yes, Placebo's lyrics really do make you feel very un-alone! :)

Hello there! This is Davey from Tangent Sin.

Ok! Now, I read the whole thing in around 20 minutes. And must I say that those were 20 minutes of greatness. Of course, as a Placebo fan, I enjoyed every sentence there was about Placebo and Brian Molko. Reading about the mystery behind the words that would captivate those who are curious and those who already know leaves me thinking of confusing ways to expand doorways for the better knowledge and understanding of a world that is mostly painted in -quote- "black and white". Placebo is one of three bands that helps me understand the world, and both Placebo and Brian Molko have made a difference in my life. People are putting limits to their understanding of the world, and that can hurt coexistence. The esoteric allure of Brian Molko for the knowledge and coherence; for the unknown to be discovered; for the world to be understood, and hopefully... to have a world of coexistence.

I thank you for taking your time to bless us with the message.

You're online buddy,

~Davey

Bless you Davey!!! You GET IT!! You actually get it. What you said was extremely well said and you made my heart happy!I particularly love that you said "People are putting limits to their understanding of the world, and that can hurt coexistence" So few people even CARE about that so kudos to you. Thank you for writing and commenting. My morning is a happier one because of you my friend :D

Our Brian, who art in London, hallowed be Thy Music.
Thy Tour come, Thy Gig be done,
on every country from this Earth.
Give us this day our daily Placebo, and forgive us our piratery,
as we forgive those who don't listen your music.
And lead us not into raggaeton, but deliver us from Fred Durst.
Amin.

love your article, girl! pure love, as i like to say! congrats!
