Iggy Vs The Corrs

as for iggy, the gig was great, loved when the mosh pit piled onto the stage.

Personally I'm all on for his metal shtick. Sounded pretty good live to me.

You sad, inadequate, sexist assholes.

If he had spat in Jim Corr's hair would yr attitude be different?

i can't honestly see how idespair's "girls must be treated special" sexism is any great improvement on what he/she's "despairing" (=posturing) about

It's not ok for people to be spat at because they've gone to an Iggy Pop gig for what you surmise may be inauthentic motives; or because you imagine they may have an unflattering view of other people present (including, most hurtfully of course, your wonderful self).

As a feminist I can hardly argue that women have a right to extra protection from men around them if some middle-aged boor want's to spit at them. Nevertheless in my experience most decent men seem to have a strong impulse to protect women in these circumstances. Not one guy here has unambiguously criticised Iggy for spitting on a woman's hair or expressed any sympathy whatsoever for the woman. I agree that this in itself can hardly be called sexism but I think I'm entitled to draw my own conclusions about the type of creeps you are.

But then again was offensive to women (including, most hurtfully of course, your wonderful self).

I'm not vegan; but I don't think the existence of worse suffering somewhere else is a reason for condoning cruelty where you find it.

As for suggestion that I am disqualified from objecting to sexism because I am a member of the class of people most affected. I mean that's just fucking genius isn't it? What a bright boy. Your mother MUST be proud.

Oh, what a tragedy. Poor women.

Careful there, old bean.

That it's possible to interpret a non-sexist text in a sexist way is true but beside the point. I'm interested in entering a debate to "prove" something to someone who already knows it but is being wilfully obtuse or just plain lying. Read the thread.

At the end of the day it's harmless entertainment for all! And there's nothing wrong w/that.

entertainment for all= for everyone else bar the corrs obv.

so am I.

''Julio how can it be just a bit of fun and also terrorizing?''

It was fun for the audience because the corrs were terrorized and humiliated.

''unless it's totally harmless and "just entertainment".''

Ultinately it was harmless. HA HA tarcer are you saying that it would have been bettah if Iggy and andrea FITE! (actaully i'd rather they mud wrestle). or are you just trying to screw w/ my head.

to me it really is entertaining. I don't know how you could read this much into the situation. maybe you could clarify? (it's OK if you don't).

''maybe he twigged that they were so lobotomized no amount of goading would provoke their inner freak-demon''

from the account given. First he spat at one of them at the end of one song. They didn't move and so Iggy started calling them out in the middle of the next one. Lobotomy indeed!

in 1970 he was playing to a far more 'dangerous' crowd. If he had spat at them he would've got it. nowdays he's a part of the world of entertainment and so he gets VIPs (and no confrontation).

Right at the outset, I want to make a few things completely clear: Since I haven't liked anything Iggy's done in about twenty years, I wouldn't describe myself as a 'fanboy.' Moreover, I've never knowingly heard the Corrs, and I have no opinion on them one way or the other.

As a lawyer, I'm very interested in the idea of burden of proof. In this situation, I think the burden of proof would be on those who are criticizing Iggy's behavior rather than those who find it amusing.

The argument that Iggy doesn't have a reputation for spitting on people is asinine. Iggy has a reputation for doing stupid and gross things. Spitting is a stupid and gross thing. It's not too hard to draw the lines.

I'm very sorry that Andrea Corr got spat on and found it to be disgusting. If Iggy had spat on me I too would be disgusted. Perhaps I'm just unlucky that I don't have a bunch of fans I can rely upon to attack him for me.

Bottom line: if he spat on somebody non-famous, we wouldn't even have heard about it, and I barely heard about it as it is.

IHBT. IHL. HAND!

if he had spat on somebody non-famous he might have got beaten up and then we would have heard about it.

I don't think he would have spat on anyone non-famous tho'. not nowdays, anyway.

prob=> you don't know then. and here i wuz thinking you knew everything there is to know about Iggy.

''Iggy's in fine shape to this day''

does he know kung fu as well?

You just can't stand it when I'm right, can you!

Documentation of Iggy Pop spitting on non-famous people, both recently and long ago. Choice quote (from 1974): "I don't spit at anybody I don't aim at. And the only people I spit at are people who are beng assholes."

however if he spat at p!nk she wd whup his ass hurrah!!

Aggreed, and I'm not even a Corrs fan. You're pissing me off and I'm on Iggy's side.

You're a lawyer? Great! I've got a question about entrapment you might be able to answer over on The Who's Townshend Says 'I'm Not a Pedophile' !

Before you do 'though, you do realise I'm not going to pay you anything, right?

I don't think he smeared peanut butter on himself either. He just played music. He did jump into the audience and probably showed his willy to us, but nothing sticky happened.

I feel cheated.

I have never seen Mr. Pop's willy myself, but from what I've heard seeing it isn't something that's likely to slip your mind - unlike, say, seeing poor little Captain Sensible's willy.

Fuck the pair of you, I was here first!

Look, kids....for a start, this board represents a *DEBATE* (see the "vs" in the title?), i.e. I'm simply presenting one side of the argument. That you're failing to represent the other side of the argument adequately is your own fault. Moreover, you accuse me of "pissing people off," yet assume the name "Sad Sad Iggy Pop," a provocative a name as any comment I could come up with. Come up with a better retort than "stop posting on this thread" and maybe some progress will be made. (That the debate itself is a herculean example of pointlessness is another matter). Maybe check out some of the other non-Iggy/Corrs threads. This isn't simply a hallelujah chorus for any one single artist.

Are you callling Pink an asshole?

Hercules -vs- Sisyphus = Iggy -vs- The Corrs

So how much longer are we going to roll this particular boulder?

Aw come on Dave, aren't you having fun?

Oh, wait.
I guess I haven't gotten into the spirit of dave225's suggestion....

Was Led Zeppelin playing in the bar that night, Custos? (*sorry!*)
Nope...the Cranberries opened that night.

OK, I'll give it my best shot:

I think it was simply ghastly the way that horrid Pop fellow spat in poor dear Andrea's hair - didn't he even stop to think of the possible consequences?

Why she might have needed to use a different shampoo afterwards to get it out and that could have given her dry hair and split ends or anything which could have ended her entire career!

Is that better Dave?

You are so hilarious (for those who didn't realise, I'm being sarcastic) Everyone loves a lame ass.

Goody goody - being popular is just SO important, don't you think?

Is it just me, or does that Dixie Chicks cover of "Landslide" completely validate nu-country as a genre?

A decade later:

- The Dundalk "Fab Four" have become more famous for their everlasting career hiatus, than their poor, pissant "oeuvre", achieving
solely one goal: making Coldplay and Dolores O'Riordan sound like fuckin' Beethoven in comparison...

- Andrea still hasn't realized she sounds like a cat in agony, nevertheless she decides to put out not ONE, but TWO solo albums...

- Apparently too busy to save Obama, Bono didn't bother enlighting her as to the fact she still posesses the writing "auteur"
skills of a mentally challenged kid in last-stage leukemia.

- Undeterred in her grandiose endeavours, she painfully achieved the sale of merely two dozen copies of her first solo masterpeice
to her siblings' kids, which helped scoring a number #8 on the Philippines charts, due to the sheer number of the ever-expanding offspring that only Brangelina &Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner can rival.

- With the looks of a junkie that could frighten Nicholson&Keith Richards in their prime coke roller-coaster days, she may eventually be coming to the conclusion that the Corrs beauty canon has always appealed solely to gay&senior audiences.
Thus she applied for a rock-solid life insurance by marrying a billionaire, while she struggles to reach 10000 followers on Twitter.

- Finally, Andrea says she's afraid of celebrity lifestyle. Her fucktard brother scares me way more.

- Sharon Corr, in a stroke of genius, puts out a solo album, too, apparently without Bono&Brian Eno's artistic endorsment, then
angrily blames the poor sales on the fiercy pirates who downloaded it for free, while struggling to learn how to turn a computer
on...her husband would gladly help, but couldn't, since he's too busy downloading on his own. Some serious porn. Sharon admits to smoking like a camel. Hubby actually realises she is one.

- The major failing of this second solo endeavor by a Corr is to be blamed on the Jewish-American-Masonic-Alien conspiracy, led by W. Bush&Winny the Pooh, who turned to be a major pedobear, says brother Jim (he has proof of all facts, since he dug out the secret archives of the World in the ruins ot the World Trade Center), in order to prevent camel sis to gain more followers than him&Andrea combined, on Twitter.

- Last but not least, the Corr-"Man" admits turning Goebbels by jerking way too much when spying on his sisters in the bathroom, thus having the idea behind the corporate incest ad that morphed into The Corrs.

- Two years from now, drummer Caroline either gives birth to 5 more kids, or reveals the truth of being a shemale. Like her sisters.

The Corrs, a band that will endure the test of time...

vnp

I prefer Iggy in this match up. I believe, because of his songs and because of the extra ability he has to drum, I would place him clearly above the CORRS on ability and overall results. On the other hand if the Corrs could quickly release three of the greatest rock records of all time, they could quickly catch up.

Boy I was a difficult s.o.b. on this thread. Ahh, youth.

Who are the Corrs again?

last time they left you breathless.

great story in the OP
