👈 That made my night 😂
Also, looks like that's Macca now on Terry's hit list (alongside Allan, Graham, Tony, Bobby, the other current Hollies, Elton, Eric Carmen and Crosby of course)

Ah... Terry. As parodied by a fellow better known writer from Liverpool... ahem... I read the tweets today oh boy About an angry man who fell from grace And though the tweets are rather sad Well I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a bar He didn’t notice that the times had changed A crowd of people cringed and glared They’d seen his face before Nobody is really sure if he is in the hall of fame I saw a film today oh boy An english group had just won some awards This drunken lout was turned away But we just had to look Having heard he sucks It’s Clarke and Nash’s faulllttt... Baz wins the entire forum today.

David Beckham, Joe Biden, various UK footballers and managers, etc etc It might be simpler to make a short list of anyone Terry actually does like! No doubt Robin Britten would top that list. After that...

Well, Terry has had an outburst about the present Hollies, Graham and Bobby's supposed 70s "wigs" all within three hours today. Is this a record? 😏

Oh, things are about to get VERY bad for Terry now. The teenage 60s pop music stans discovered his tweets (especially the "White Lives Matter" one and the one making fun of Paul McCartney) and are trolling him...they are hashtagging #terryisoverparty and inviting all their friends to join in....and one wondered what would happen if the kpop stans got involved. These kids are hardcore Nash and Hicks fans (along with the Beatles, Monkees, Buffalo Springfield and the Byrds) and are NOT impressed. I'm making popcorn! twitter.com/search?q=%23terryisoverparty&src=typeahead_click&f=live

All a bit nuts but how he thinks he can go with homophobic, misogynist and racist signaling on Twitter and go unnoticed and continue to get bookings for work in today's environment...

I have opinions that some people may find unacceptable, but as soon as I became a published author I knew I needed to keep these opinions largely out of the public domain (I've heard too many horror stories about books getting poor Amazon ratings simply because authors have upset people!). Obviously, internationally known musicians like Terry have to be a thousand times more careful.

Much as Terry's rants get right up my nose as they do other Hollies fans I rather think the guy needs help - and social media is the WORST place for him to be
having had several marriages go wrong (I'm not apportioning any blame there and most certainly NOT in any way re the wives), losing his beloved Mom and Dad, seeing his once proud Hollies past become history (again likewise re the blame angle), losing his longtime American buddy and key USA music scene figure Jimmy Griffin...
....together with seeing Graham Nash still in the public eye and being honoured by his country, Allan surprising everyone with his fine comeback, and the Tony & Bobby led current Hollies still successfully touring...must be very ego crushing and enough to make him need a drink (which, I am guessing, seems to bring his very worst side out - I've known guys like that, perfectly nice guys normally who then seem to become somebody else alot darker when under the influence...then can't recall it later when sober and back to their old 'proper' normal selves...)
the way Terry keeps 'blasting' at people - a number of whom were once good friends of his - is a worrying sign and while I have certainly 'had a go' at him annoyed re his nasty rants at those figures we so admire ...I also remember the younger Terry so PROUD to be a 'Hollie', full of enthusiasm, and who was SUCH a vital asset to the band - I think that must count for alot and I hope Terry gets the help and support it looks like he really needs...

Obviously, internationally known musicians like Terry have to be a thousand times more careful. I think most of us live and learn. 30 years ago I was the archetypal "angry young man" and by goodness did I shoot my mouth off about everything. Lets just say I suffered for it but learnt the lesson as now I'm a very angry middle aged git but keep most of my opinions to myself to maintain a quiet life. The internet is very dangerous as stuff from years ago can and will come back to haunt you and Terry's been extremely careless. Free speech comes at a price.

I agree with everyone here. Most of the comments ARE stupid, I agree...although the ones that diss Terry AND say "stream Butterfly" I have to love-- they at least know it's ONLY Terry and is no reflection on the rest of the band and they'll keep promoting the music. Keep in mind that the real fans recruited their friends, many of whom haven't a clue who Terry is but love a Saturday night trolling party...Ah, kids. It's not any worse than fart jokes at least; I've seen trolling in my time far more serious.
That being said, I'm sure Croz is mighty confused at all the kids suddenly asking what he thinks for Terry Sylvester!
"Stans" btw, is just another word for "fans"...the word comes from the Eminen song "Stan" about an obsessive fan.
Anyways, Terry is hopefully learning that his rants have consequences...at least trolling is far preferable to a lawsuit...

He is a prize Wally,and sadly,a damaged one at that .He couldn't seriously expect to get away with his nasty and personal rants without any come back, surely? His targets are luckily either a)blissfully unaware or b) are far above him to warrant any retort. But this time is different.He has been so stupid,and bitten off more than he can chew,and landed himself with a huge mess.And yes, he should certainly disappear from social media after this, for his own good.....but I expect he won't.. Hey ho......

You don't have to be stupid to be on social media, but it sure helps. For Terry, his career options have shrunk so badly that 'Twitter' is his only media platform to connect with his fans, such as they are. In one respect, I do respect his courage to not self-neuter his opinions, but there is a heavy societal price to pay for political incorrectness. Just hope he's aware of that. If he's not, I don't know where's he's been the last decade or so. And if he is aware, I suspect he's reached the point where he's shouting, 'Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!' Desperation and Drink can be nasty bedfellows. Just hope he knows what he's doing!

His Twitter antics have done absolutely nothing for his career. He's not been performing as much as he did before, been no new material and he just rants and rages on about the past refusing to let go of that night at the R+R HOF and taking continual and often nasty potshots at old acquaintances. He sure is a nice guy that promoters would want to hire... not.

For Terry, his career options have shrunk so badly that 'Twitter' is his only media platform to connect with his fans, such as they are. But most of his fans -- the ones who aren't synchophants, the ones who expressed genuine concern for him -- have all been blocked. He's not "connecting" with anybody. They're like the real life "yes men" who followed tragic figures like Elvis around and did him no favours.

Good God, there's even more nonsense on there than usual, and silly teenage guff hardly improves on it. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before now.
