Iggy Vs The Corrs

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).

Tom, you remember liking Toasted Heretic's "Galway & Los Angeles"? BP is namechecked in the lyrics.

The Corrs are a shame to Ireland since they performed at the Queen's 50th Jubilee Celebration.

Spitting on people is contemptible, regardless of the sex of the person being spat on.

I'd be disappointed if I went to an Iggy Pop concert and didn't get spat upon. It's like attending a Pogues show sober.

Or, could it be they were there because they happen to like (although I don't understand how anyone could) his music? Heavens no! No, they came because their popularity is dropping, and going to an Iggy Pop concert is going to help them get "hot" again. So you're saying if you go to one of the fucker's concerts, you're suddenly immensely popular? When did he get crowned king of the world!? ... No wait, on second thought, where can I get tickets!?

The Corrs should have sued him. Caroline is pregnant for God's sake!

And yes, I'm a big Corrs fan, and proud of it. So go on and leave me breathless with all your childish, idiotic comments now.

Oh, so just because you think that The Corrs will be long forgotten in twenty years time it means that you can spit on them?! Grow up.

What did they do to deserve that? Just because they went to one of his shows they deserved to be spat at?! Anyone who believes it's normal to spit at people for absolutely no reason other then hating them, is insane.

Quote from an interview with Andrea from December 4th:

[quote][b]Didn't you get abuse from Iggy Pop at one of his gigs?[/b]
Unfortunately, that's true. We have the same tour manager and we were in a box and I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself by dancing all night. The last thing you want is for the audience to be distracted by someone from another band being there. It's a respect thing. He got quite frightening, swearing at us and trying to throw things at us from the stage.

[b]So you'll be buying no more Iggy albums?[/b]
No. It frightened me; I was sitting beside my pregnant sister. It was looking very scary - he has apologised but I think he was out of order. It wasn't because it was us; he would have done the same to anyone up there and I find that behaviour disgusting.[/quote]

keep telling yerself that luv, i reckon kelly osborne mightve got off a bit lighter...

Damn right it is.

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
