Fear Of Everything



Phobias are a nasty part of the human condition. They burrow to the root of all our fears and fill us with angst and nausea.

But don’t worry my petals - in this we ordinary mortals are not alone. That’s right – even rock and pop gods have phobias. U2 had Vertigo. Iron Maiden had Fear Of The Dark. The Bee Gees had Claustrophobia. Black Sabbath were Paranoid. The Cure - if Lullaby with it’s lyrics of being eaten by a spiderman in the middle of the night is anything to go by - had a serious case of arachnophobia.



The Cure - Lullaby


But you know what they say – there is nothing to fear except fear itself. Which is bad news if:

a) you’re counterphobic;

b) you’re Ian Brown;



Ian Brown - F.E.A.R.


or c) you’re Mu-ziq



Mu-ziq - The Fear
