Lee Van Tee Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 On 24/09/2019 at 07:47, Bairnardo said: Because Thunberg is so young, the media have no opportunity to push her off message and sabotage her with sketchy indiscretions from her past, real examples of hypocrisy. There is purity in what she is doing. This is why so many grown adults in positions of power have resorted to trying to belittle her as a child etc. It will get more vicious the more she gets her message across, but it can and never have substance and will just make more and more people look fucking ridiculous. Case in point, an idiot like Malky digging out a 16 year old lassie because of the mode of transport she used, whilst she was on her way to take strips off the leaders of the planet with billions of eyes watching. Greta Thunberg represents a magnet. One pole attracting millions to her cause, the other pole drawing in idiots and making sure we all know who the idiots are. I approve. I was very uncomfortable watching her latest speech and now feel she is being used. She's obviously a very unstable teenage girl and I wish she could take a break from her activism although I doubt this will happen. If she continues down this road I fear it is going to make her very ill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 This also seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I believe R.E.M. did a lot of good work after ‘Automatic For The People’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'A Sort of Homecoming' for me. U2 seem to be one of those bands that are scorned by those who haven't heard much of their music.

Dons_1988 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 All this Ricksen shite is a pile of pish.He was an absolute roaster It’s over the top and I don’t indulge it but we’re still talking about a young man and his family going through suffering you can’t really imagine. And I’m guessing you don’t really know anything about him personally other than what you’ve seen in the media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) On the subject of U2... there used to be a record shop in Paisley called ‘Listen’, there was also one at the bottom of Renfield St in Glasgow. I went in there one day, could have been 79/80? The young bloke working there was over from Dublin, and he was playing a record on which the sound of the guitar knocked me out. I had no idea who they were so asked, and he said they were this new young Irish band that were kicking about over there. The song was ‘11 o Clock Tick Tock’. Have absolutely loved them since that day. I went to see U2 in Strathclyde University when they came over in 1981. Ticket was £1.75. Spoke to Bono after the gig, and he wasn’t an arse at all. Then I saw them in Tiffany’s Ballroom... and the venues got bigger every year after that. My favourite U2 songs are Electric Co, The Unforgettable Fire, Vertigo, Running to Stand Still, and Even Better Than the Real Thing.

That got pretty tedious very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
