Johnny Ramone dead (1 Viewer)

[oh shit]

eh? surely if you idolise someone and they meant something to you for a very long time then it would affect you if they died, regardless of whether you knew them or not? Are you saying that there is not a single musician/artist/writer/etc on this planet that you would care about if they died?

more or less, yeah.

i find that kind of strange, is all.

PS: people should be able to say that they feel bad about something without someone insisting on telling them how pretentious they are for it... not meaning to get ratty or anything but some things can be left alone

alan, have you ever heard the expression 'Devil's advocate'

 

[demonica]

And generally speaking, I always believe in not speaking ill of the recently departed no matter who they are. This kind of macabre coffin-kicking seems to have become acceptable (and positively fashionable if you're Kevin Myers, who likes nothing better than duffing up the odd corpse or two in his rant barely disguised as a column).

why?!

is that an attempt to patronise me?

 

[oh shit]

alan, when i posted the comment

who cares if he was a nazi or a commie, he's still dead, you never knew him, you aren't really going to be affected by this, so why pretend it matters to you?

i put "devil's advocate" where it says 'now playing'.

that means that i was just provoking conversation, not expressing my own true opinion. of course people feel a sentimental attachment to musicians. stuart bailie and i organised an elliott smith tribute at the cathedral quarter arts festival last spring. the second killing spree show was a dee dee ramone tribute. i'm a sucker for that shit.

so, it was a joke. i wasn't attempting to patronise you. did you feel patronised?


how about now?

If I saw a body in a coffin, I'd definitely kick it.

 

[Phil]

Thems for lovin' not for kickin'.

 

[Willie Willions]

I'd kick the coffin, other things I would do with the body.

eh? what's the difference, dead or alive, a wanker is a wanker is a wanker. although you may have a point i suppose, your average wanker is much better off dead. that must explain why eulogies are always complimentary - everyone's so glad the cunt is dead that they'll praise 'em to the skies for finally fucking off.

maybe if yer a bell-end with nothing more tangible in your life to care about..personally there's a very small limit on how much affection i can attach to someone who doesn't care about me never mind someone who doesn't even know me.
