The Sad Punk
Blue Crack Addict
Just about everything 10 touches these days is five different kinds of shit. I can't believe they, of all people, had the good sense to bring back Good News Week - and they still manage to poison it with stupid cross-promotional bollocks that I'm sure McDermott & Co. must find bloody nauseating.
True. I guess I'm just not overly entertained by that sort of egocentric acting, except in a let's-laugh-at-it kind of way. I imagine I would have rather enjoyed seeing the classic shoegazers go about their stuff ... that's really what music's all about to me. If I wanted theatre, I'd go see a play, you know?
Also, the idea of bumping into Jagger at an IGA is fucking hysterical.
I imagine GNW are probably still pissed off they're on 10 rather than ABC, anyway. Must shit them every time they're on air and have to reference Big Brother or whatever.
I only laugh at it, usually. But I think most performers like Jagger understand that absolutely. They just want the audience to be entertained, and I personally love that. It's not exactly theatre. Combining theatre with pop music could be nothing but a rubbish idea. I fucking hated the characters Bono played as in Zoo TV. Maybe it's just because of his overacting. There's a fine line between laughing at something and finding it downright irritating. Not shoegazers, for example! But of course, I don't expect most bands do get all like that. Or even any these days. Frontmen have such little character now that it's just not worth it. If it did happen, it would be part of the individual's own desire.
