[iacrobat]

Well, just got up. Nothing except that stupid screaming Rollins. I could hardly sleep las night I was so excited, kinda like christmas. Oh well, maybe it'll be on BBC1 this week...

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Clearly not U2, they did a very good job though!
EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING I RECKON

 

[starsgoblue]

Anybody else get shit from Rollins?!

 

[Bonochick]

Kiss!!

 

[Nesskelz]

[nuke126]

[Queen Bee]

Holy crap. Come 12:54am it will officially mark the 12th hour I've spent listening to this damn station.

 

[beli]

Bugger, the bottom just fell out of my Subway.

 

[kennerado]

WHO THE FUCK IS HENRY ROLLINS?

 

[starsgoblue]

starsgoblue, are you on AIM?

Yeah, BeckaOSU

 

[nuke126]

my whole day was ruined also

 

[cujo]

Stop sending emails, honestly.

You're buying into the stereotype that Rollins has projected, and any more enflamed words will only contribute to his cause... the nature of which I'm not even sure he understands.

But, if you want to waste time on someone who relies on negative publicity to fuel a lowly lecture circuit and various low brow tv hosting jobs... that's just fine. Maybe ignoring his efforts might give him reason to reflect on how much time and energy he puts into hating a band... how his obtuse speeches are really just the last sparks of life in a destitute mind. I salute you, Henry Rollins, for winning the day against a bunch of over-anxious u2 fans. Hopefully this experience will beef up the content in your talk tours... sessions so deprived of entertainment and insight that my mind weeps from malnourishment.

Rock on you crazy bastard.

I can honestly say that I feel bad for everyone that has been listening that long. I think I started around 8 or 9 and have 3 or 4 hrs. into this and I'm pissed enough. I can't imagine listening much longer.

WHO THE FUCK IS HENRY ROLLINS?

A jealous has been with no neck.

 

[Bonochick]

Hi, Mulva! I mean, cujo...

 

[nuke126]

i've been listening since about 12:30pm off and on for 12 hours

 

[mofo82]

just sent this back to Rollins

"I can't believe the stunt your station pulled on a large number of fans who gave you and your station a shot at being something respectable and actually building a fanbase. I don't know any of the history that you have with U2 but to take it out on new potential listeners to the station out there is the most idiotic thing you could've done. I know for fact that you had people that have never heard of Henry Rollins or Indie 103 listening worldwide, and the only thing you displayed was your hatred and contempt for people taht you don't even know. Here's hoping that you find yourself without a job tomorrow. Cheers. Another Happy Listener"

 

[starsgoblue]

I'm not sending email to Rollins. But you bet your ass the station is getting a phone call tommorow.

 

[Bonochick]

Modest Mouse!!!!!

Okay, yeah, I know that this was basically a PR stunt...but...it worked...I'll probably be listening to them now. I know, I suck. I'm sorry. But they play some good stuff!

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Come on U2 managemnet. We're a bunch of crazed U2 nuts that have been tricked by these wankers at 103.1! GIVE US THE SONG U2 to make up for it!! Bono u there?!?!?

 

[DaveC]

Does complain@indie1031.fm go to Rollins himself?

 

[db u2]

Henry Rollins has had the jealousy bug for many years now.

You guys!!! This ISN"T Rollins doing!!!! It's the station you guys, come on now. You can yell at him for saying shit but he didn't orchestrate a whole day of this.

 

[kennerado]

U2 should just post the thing on their web site.

 

[Queen Bee]

henry rollins = henry@harmonyinmyhead.com

 

[david]

Someone needs to just contact U2's people. No longer waste any effort on Rollins or the radio station.

 

[starsgoblue]

Does complain@indie1031.fm go to Rollins himself?

It goes to the station---who are the ones responsible for this PR stunt!

 

[nuke126]

no way u2 will release it

I must say Im enjoying listening to new music and reading who the band is at the same time. Its like music for the deaf
