Iggy Vs The Corrs

What do you reckon Alex? Should we let him in or not?

Claiming to not know about the industry was one of the more fatuous and easily refuted claims of a vociferous handful of punk bands, certainly.....

Are you saying The Corrs are the new Sex Pistols?

I'm really fit as mark s will testify. caroline is mine.

''Are you saying The Corrs are the new Sex Pistols?''

the pistols were a one off.

If that's true - and if it is I have to agree with you - did it succeed in getting any coverage anywhere?

I haven't heard about it anywhere other than here (and no-one I've mentioned it too has seemed to have heard about it); but then I do make a very specific point of NOT reading the entertainment columns....

If it was a publicity stunt, were The Corrs in on it?

Very true - but a one off who were heavily influenced by The Stooges of course.

Weren't some of the Corrs Corps zealoulsy alledging that he didn't, in fact, know it was them?

When has Iggy *EVER* cared about headlines? It's not like he's ever had a squeaky clean image nor high-selling track record to defend.

I don't read the entertainment columns either so i wouldn't know. the show was in dublin so it might have got coverage there.

''Very true - but a one off who were heavily influenced by The Stooges of course.''

no it was early rock n'roll with lydon on vocals (which is why they were 'acceptable' to these ears).

I think he cares about it. if he's stops selling he gets dropped by the rec company.

I think the point is / was / would have been that it [would have] promoted precisely the opposite image - which is, of course, the one he trades on.

"[The 'Pistols were] early rock n'roll with lydon on vocals.

Even when The 'Pistols were busily denying any links with "that necrophiliac rock 'n' roll", The Stooges were one of the few bands that they were prepared to cite as a major influence - they even even covered "No Fun"....

Actually, from what I know of your musical tastes, I am genuinely surprised that you don't rate Fun House, Julio.

who knew!!??

No, thought not.

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.

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?
