Poppy Morgan: on album covers + a secret rockstar?

[max_tranmere]

Is there no end to Poppy's talents? Pornstar, producer, model, chef, and now appearing on album covers and playing in a famous band (at least some people think so). The band 'Durutti Column', who have been around for some time and have sold large amounts of records and do worldwide tours, have a girl pictured on the cover of their 2009 album "Love In The Time Of Recession" which a number of the band's fans think is Poppy Morgan. She also apparently plays in the band. The guitarist's name is Vini Reilly and I've copied and pasted these comments from one of the band's fansites:

*Re: the girl on the New album cover - Poppy Morgan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppy_Morgan... ooooh Vinni, all this 'alternative musician stance' in the past 30 years- he's a cock-rocker at heart! LOL

*I get the feeling that the person who typed in the credits on Cerysmatic Factory had their mind on the porno starlet - if you look on the actual band website you'll see that the girl on the cover is Vini's girlfriend and she is Poppy Roberts. Poppy Morgan is married to a Mr Morgan and is not the woman in The Durutti Column.

*Poppy is credited as Poppy Morgan on the previous Durutti albums. Maybe that's her real name but she changed it to Roberts after finding out that a google search would come up with something a bit too saucy and spicy... http://www.freewebs.com/captainmorgan13/117-01030.jpg

*Great track on the 'Idiot Savants' album - Vini / Poppy collaboration 'Gathering Dust'

....AND HERE IS A COMMENT FROM THE RECORD COMPANY AND BAND WEBSITE PERSON:

STARTS
*Just would like to clear up this whole Poppy Roberts / Poppy Morgan confusion...

Poppy Roberts sang vocals on the Durutti Column album 'Idiot Savants'. Poppy Morgan is Vini Reilly's new girlfriend who plays piano on and co-writes songs (some of which appear on the forthcoming album 'Love in the Time of Recession') with Vini. She is not the same person as Poppy Roberts. It is Poppy Morgan who appears on the new album cover too. Moreover, Poppy Morgan is not in any way related to the pornstar mentioned earlier in this thread. Unfortunately, the press release for the new album calls her Poppy Roberts which doesn't help matters. Let's hope they get it right on the album itself!

cheers John, cerysmaticfactory.info, thedurutticolumn.com
ENDS

....AND FROM ANOTHER FAN:

*Cheers John - I thought that was the case too but wasn't certain until the gig tonight in Bury when Vini introduced Poppy on stage as 'Morgan' not 'Roberts'. The guitar/ keyboards duet songs were great.



---So as well as Poppy's other talents, she also plays in a famous band, co-writes their songs, and appears on one of their album covers. As we can see from all these comments, it is not her, but some people thought it was. lol. I found all of the above comments about this quite amusing when I saw them online as I was looking around for any new Poppy related material. (Poppy stated a while ago that she had retired from the business for good, but I sometimes look online for anything new in case she's started shooting movies or doing photoshoots again. Oh well, will just have to continue to enjoy her past catalogue...)

Some nasty people have been posting horrible comments about The Popster on YouTube. Poppy should train to be a black belt in kung-fu and go and beat these people up!

This comment isn't too bad but it makes little sense. "00kzr" says:
hottest girl ever. die frau hat ne richtig krasse ausstrahlung!

Then this a month ago from "rubyjewels bright red" :
poppy is a slag

One day ago "Rob Hulzie" had this to say:
this poppy ...thing is too disgusting,even for the low budget crappy porn she's in


--- Rude people! Show respect to The Popster!

I wouldnt look to YouTube comments to fish for comments of any level of respect. If youre lucky someone would admit to wanting to fuck you in the arse and fill your bum cavity with their hot semen which is about as complimentary as it gets from faceless cowardly jerks who post nasty comments just because they cant be held to account for their actions but Im sure if they were outted would be very angry at having their identities disclosed.

You can always guarantee every 3rd or 4th comment to have some racist or sexist overtones and its usually levelled at the most nicest of people

Definitely not to be taken too seriously or better yet, disable the option of comments altoghether

YouTube seems to be the nearest thing on the internet, as far as legitimate things go, to complete anarchy. People can say anything, they can threaten people, they can prank call people and threaten to kill them, and just about everything else you can think of. It is also a 'big brother' type operation where you can covertly film someone on your phone, put the clip on there, millions can see it and brand you as a bad person, and you might not even know it until ages later. This can all be put on there anonymously and your victim can have their life ruined. There are loads of such clips on YouTube. It all seems to be outside the law, and outside the standards of ordinary society, and there is nothing anyone can do. It's always amazed me how YouTube morphed into what it did.

...And yet, it is outside of ATVOD scope of regulations.

Especially when it is used as a conduit for free porn, before it is removed of course, but then that in itself can be construed as control if they are able to remove user generated content. Even if that content has been stolen.
