Chris Salewicz spoke about it on Great Lives on bbc radio 4 - it’s available on iPlayer if you want to have a listen (I plan to later). I doubt Chris would make it up.Heston wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 7:58pmThat's my impression too, the other scenario about McDonalds seems satitical too.

Personally, I think people ought to have found something better than 'White Riot' and 'London's Burning' to listen to by 2002, let alone 2019. Especially if the lyrics to such songs are completely at odds with their personal values and beliefs?Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Nov 2019, 7:32amOr it would say at least for one night Boris had good taste.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑14 Nov 2019, 3:09amIt would discredit somewhat the argument I, and others elsewhere, have been trying to make?BitterTom wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 5:56pmMarkyJacobs wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 2:34pmI saw somewhere, someone say that Boris Johnson can actually be seen in the crowd at the FBU Benefit/ Srummer and Jones re-union gig in 2002.

What a complete and utter crock of shit. People can listen to what the fuck they like. They can vote how they like. They can think what they want.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑14 Nov 2019, 9:12amPersonally, I think people ought to have found something better than 'White Riot' and 'London's Burning' to listen to by 2002, let alone 2019.

This reminds me somewhat of when Paul Ryan claimed that Rage Against the Machine were his favorite band. When pushed on it, he said he liked their sound, but not their lyrics.

Re: Please speak up, Mick...
Right I expect there are loads of people out there with dodgy political views that enjoy rock n roll band's who have completely opposing views and lyrics. I see it like this if you are a band who makes a stance then you'll win people over with your ideals and music or you won't.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 Nov 2019, 1:44pmThis reminds me somewhat of when Paul Ryan claimed that Rage Against the Machine were his favorite band.

Re: Please speak up, Mick...
It's an amusing solipsism in ardent fandom that assumes a type of proprietary relationship with a band. Only people who think like me could like that band! The band must also think like me! You can't like the band—you have no right because you don't think properly! You don't love them properly! You don't get it. None of us are fully immune to this kind of blinkered thinking—I was always mystified by what Satch found appealing in the Clash; whatever the band's muddied values, heartless free market libertarianism married to to equally heartless evangelicalism didn't seem it—but pretty much everyone in this community has left behind that kind of silly possessive fandom.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 Nov 2019, 1:44pmThis reminds me somewhat of when Paul Ryan claimed that Rage Against the Machine were his favorite band.

I'd use the word touched, but to each his own word choice.

Re: Please speak up, Mick...
i listen to enough country music and streetpunk that i have faves that don't exactly share my worldview (to put it mildly). it doesn't annoy me that paul ryan or boris johnson likes the music i like because i think it reflects on me or the music, but i do admit that it annoys me that good things make those people happy. they should be constantly sad and miserable and disconnected from anything that could bring them pleasure in life. boris should be keeping his promise to go die in a ditch rather than spin a clash record, imho
