I don't think you understand: the Internet is in America.
You need to build a big firewall at the digital border to stop people like me and friggin' Cobbler getting in.

i picture it as being like one of those old-timey gentlemen's clubs....the kind with hard, uncomfortable leather seats, entire walls as bookshelves full of legal journals and the scent of aged scotch and everyone looks more or less like winston churchill.
You should totally board my trojan horse, we'll be allowed in American internet soil if we disguise ourselves as porn.
Weiner's resignation is a cockblock to our cause, though.
i generally associate it with lou reed.
but i'm pretty out there.
Maybe. Personally, and I suspect I'm not alone in this, I had never heard of the song before U2 covered it. But the point is being made - with unnecessary and snide rudeness, by a few of the children on here, so I'll try and be more civil - that there's no particular reason to assume Morrissey is giving a nod to U2 by covering that song. Much more likely is that he is simply paying homage to Lou Reed, who he has spoken of approvingly in interviews in the past.

3. I only attempted to correct someone's grammar as they did mine and there was a grammatical error in their correction of mine (which is ridiculous.)
It is completely outside the realm of possibility. Moz's thought process would have had to have been: U2 said they were going to play more 90s hits at Glastonbury (which I'm 100% sure he probably never heard about and he certainly would care if he had). They had that ZooTV tour in the 90s. They played Satellite of Love on occasion... hell, I'll play it at my gig tonight in anticipation of their Glastonbury set.
Now sorry to be rude but do you not see how completely ridiculous that is?
There was no grammatical error in my post. At all.
Wow, could you get any more tenuous?
I was going to reply, but now you're just being idiotic.
Is that your way of admitting that you were wrong? I bet you can do better than that!
I just don't think it worth writing a detailed rebuttal to something that is so obviously grasping at straws. Surely the response you're getting (from people who have track records of engaging in very intelligent discussions on this forum) should show you just how silly your claims appear? Your petulance when shown up for making a silly claim is not helping your cause. If you really think you're onto something, make your case rationally - something you haven't done yet.
FROM AN INTERVIEW - JUST POSTED - WITH MORRISSEY THAT WENT LIVE ON THE INTERNET TODAY:
Morrissey on... Lady Gaga and modern pop - Telegraph
Daily Telegraph: You recently said a new album is “ready and fluttering wildly at the bars”. Does that mean you’ve recorded it?
Morrissey: No, it hasn’t been recorded. But it’s written. It’s ready to be recorded.
But there is no label, and there’s no label interest. And yes, one can be second on the bill to U2 at Glastonbury, but these days that doesn’t really inspire labels to come forward.
Because most labels want their own creations. They want people that they have found. And they want to give success to people that they have found. They don’t want to give success to somebody who’s already had it. That’s just the way it is.
AM I STILL BEING RIDICULOUS?!?!
I already factually proved that I am not the one being ridiculous...and that my second question especially has a lot of merit. He already mentioned them in regards to the festival and I still think their name will be spoken by him on the day.
Look what you did. Look what you fucking did: the score has dropped to a 4/5 now. This is conclusive proof that your thread gets worse every time you post in it.
Holy shit, it's like you're using a My Little Pony video to prove the existence of unicorns.
SO. Fucking. What?
Jesus Christ, every band at every festival ever mentions the headliners of the fucking show. I mean, for crying out loud, Mumford and Sons gave a shout out to Lady Gaga at Lollapalooza. Do you think they'll cover Just Dance because of it?

redhill said:I thought you were one of the sane ones
Redhill, look, here's my major problem:
Moz didn't play SOL AT Glastonbury. He played it at a show a month before the fest even happens. The man doesn't appear to really like U2 so much as "envy" them in a way. You really think he played a cover of a fairly frequently covered song as homage to a band that he appears to be (according to the article you just posted) jealous of playing second fiddle to? Of all the tenuous connections, I just don't get it. I mean, if the man had played "Can't Help Falling in Love" or "Dancing Queen" would you be making the same asinine assertion?
I really wish you'd just admit that you didn't realize SOL was a cover so we can all move on with your lives. Your as bad as the guy who tries to claim that he calls U2 "The '2"
Is the goal of your life to acquire one of these?
"Not ridiculous" does not equate to a worthy thread. Although this thread has become worthy, no thanks to your contributions.

they only speak that way in australia and britain.
