I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Andrea Corr, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 10:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

They're all just goblins to me mark.

Andrea, if I did take back what I said and promise to denounce Iggy Pop do you think there any chance that....?

No, thought not.

Congratulations "Iggy Vs The Corrs" on reaching your 250th message. Not many threads hit this golden number and I'm sure all of ILX will join with me in wishing you many more posts in the future.

Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 12:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

all we need now is caroline.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 12:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah......in "the ready position".

Mark, Tom, Julio --

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!

''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.''

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.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are you kidding, Julio? For a start, Iggy's in fine shape to this day, and anyone attempting to beat him up might have a tougher task on their hands than anticipated. Secondly, He probably spits -- intentionally or otherwise -- on plenty of folks every time he performs.

"in fine shape" = "looks like an anorexic teen"

''He probably spits''

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''

"in fine shape" = "looks like an anorexic old man with disproportionate biceps"

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."

J (Jay), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

he looks better now than he did in 1970

Alex do you need to piss everyone off? Stop posting on this thread

"Alex do you need to piss everyone off? Stop posting on this thread"

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

"As a lawyer...."

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?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 10:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

I went to an Iggy Pop concert once, and he didn't spit on anyone.

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.

DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 12:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

".... and probably showed his willy to us"

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.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

.. If we're going down this road, let's get back to talking about the Corrs.

dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK Dave.... has Jim got a big willy do you think?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

what abt caroline's willy?

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 13:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

No clues Julio, that would spoil the surprise - but I'm really looking forward to seeing your face when you eventually find out!

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.

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

Mix it up a bit, man... OK all the IGGY fans now should take on the position of the Corrs fans.. and all the Corrs fans should take on the position of ... (could say "head out of ASS!" but ...) Iggy fans...

dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 14:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

I really liked how the lead singer of the Corrs fell on that table in the bar and got the stem of a martini glass stuck in her.

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

Lord Custos Omega (Lord Custos Omega), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

Clarke B., Wednesday, 15 January 2003 15:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Y'know whats odd? The Corrs would, in theory, be a band I'd stereotypically be into. I have a real weak spot for Celts, I prefer female singers to male, I like nearly group that has a Fleetwood Mac influence...but for some reason, I just can't get into the Corrs.
Why is that?

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

"OK all the IGGY fans now should take on the position of the Corrs fans.. and all the Corrs fans should take on the position of ... Iggy fans..."

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.

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

two months pass...
So, yeah, anyway, the Corrs deserved it. Glad we're all in agreement and that's settled then.

bump, Monday, 5 September 2005 22:48 (eighteen years ago) link

five years pass...

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...
