pop music sucks

[recovering_fan]

I'm still failing to see what's so offensive about this whole "linoleum" business.

Wibberley shared his great accomplishment with us. He informed us of his proficiency at piano. Fat Man mocked Wibberley's accomplishment by suggesting that Wibberley's claim to musical genius was playing on the linoleum as a child.

Please imagine that you have just described to me some great success in your own life. Now imagine some idiot starts telling you that all you've done and all you're proud of was "a joke". (Note: I am not actually doing that; I am just trying to ask you to imagine how it would feel.)

Wouldn't feel all that great would it?

I thought fat mans remark about me giving me Norman Bates arun for his money reminded me of how about 15 years ago a woman came round conducting market research.I said I was happy to oblige if the prospect of me prancing around the back garden being draped in her skin in the next thirty minutes or so didnt phase her.It was just such a real life psycho that Robert Bloch based his novel of the same name on.

(See, now that was clearly a joke, and he even managed to avoid making others feel cheap...)

Ja, es ist sehr unverschaemt zu sagen, dass alle die beste Leistungen einer Mann nur ein "Witz" sind. Das wurde ich sehr beleidigend finden, aber auf der Internet ist es leichter, eine andere Mensch zu beleidigen - ohne korperliche Kontakt kann man Sachen sagen, die man im normalen Leben nie sagen wurde. Ich nehme an, dass Wibberleys Leistungen aufs Klavier sehr wichtig fur ihn sind, deswegen mussen wir ein bisschen Achtung vor ihn zeigen. Er verdient ein bisschen Respekt von uns. Ich bin sicher, dass er im Wirklichkeit einen tollen Kunstler ist, und er ist nicht von dem Herdinstinkt beinflusst. Das ist etwas ehrbar.

Mit freundlichen Grussen,

Thanks. I forgot you wrote perfect German !

I think people have been a bit hard on Fat Man.He is a man of integrity who says what he means and means what he says and has not been tamed by the system like the rest of you youngsters seem to have been.My own comments in the past have been deemed offensive but I only felt I was telling things as they really were.I am still glowing with pride after Fat Man said I was more psycho and nutso than he could ever be.To have an appalling standing in the community is what everyone should aspire to.You must get out of this idea that you should be liked and respected,by following that you are being moulded by the system.I'm sure you will agree that many of the so-called pillars of our society are the most arrogant ,egotistical and obnoxious people imaginable.Incidently,glen said on this site that all sports fans should be put against a wall and shot(this post actually inspired many of my later ones)Is he being taken to task and expelled? One person(other than Fat Man) actually commended me for my rants.

That's fine, Wibberley. But there are others he has abused, IMO.

[wibberley]

Well he has abused me for that matter by once referring me to as a 'prick' and suggested that my piano playing was all made up but I am still in awe of him.Of myself he says he stands in the presence of greatness

Hi.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Glen to whom you allude (and who posted in the Guestbook) is/was not a member of the forum; and he submitted only one message. So, he was never taken to task and expelled.

Wibberley, you might be interested to know that Robert Bloch was a protege of H.P. Lovecraft.

pepplease can u ban wibberley again as he is spending too much time slagging pop music off,which was good until 1989 and a few raraties today.thank you . lizzie bordens mother ps my darling 11 yr old daughter is absolutely nothing like lizzie borden.she just has a very warped sense of humour as she was brought up on monty python.and i really am married to wibberley 14 yrs this november .so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I certainly concur with fat man sugesting school bullies shuld be killed rather than the victims take their own lifes.A few years ago a 15 year old was stabbed to death at school.THIS SEEMED A TRAGEDY UNTIL IT EMERGED THAT THE VIctom was a mercilless bully and the boy who killed him had no other recourse to do other than what he did.THe school bully is dead and the perpetrator only gets locked up for a year or two and still has his life ahead of him.I would encourage my children to do exactly the same thing.A while ago a local trouble maker in the neighbourhood was murdered and the local t.v crew happened to interview me on the street about the murder.I said that I was glad he had been murdered and that he was never fit to live and I hope his killer gets away with it.Needless to say ,for some unacountable reason,this was not broadcast.

ALso going back to the issue of pop music sucks which is what this thread is supposed to be about in the late 1980s I became very interested in the punk rock movement(I consider the music only an aspect of it),and even today I still like to read books on it.I appreciate what it was trying to do and I hope this explains some of my rants on this forum.Musically ,of course,it was a nonentity.I mean ,no one in their right mind would want to spend more than a nanosecond listening to 'Into the valley' by the skids.Now that does really suck.

Actually, I was merely predicting or speculating that victims of bullying might someday start to retaliate against the bullies instead of taking their own lives.

I'm not actually advocating that they should do this, but I wouldn't blame them if they did.

And of course, I wouldn't cry boo hoo over the death of some bully.

I do believe that killing in self-defense is justified.

You do have a right to protect and defend yourself, and if your assailant dies in the process, then too fucking bad for him!

Which is why I'm concerned about the future of your child(ren).

I myself am interested in punk music and some of the ideology behind it (Actually, barely any of the ideology nowadays. I don't consider myself "punk", and I hate the movement in general, it's a bunch of pretentious bullshit and there are only a few punk bands that have ideas that I can respect, such as my favourite band, Bad Religion), but I don't see how that could have influenced you to believe that so many groups of people must be slaughtered, or that we should take example of the People's Liberation Army (what an ironic name) at the Tiananmen Square protests.
