OK so the fact that I am going to be proven correct in regards to my second question (both were pooled as ridiculous by a few folks) is SO FUCKING WHAT?
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident...
Exactly. So fucking what? It happens at EVERY FUCKING FESTIVAL EVER CREATED BY MAN.
Oh man, thank you SO much, I really, really needed one of those, been feeling a bit on the unreal side latelyOK, time for another lesson in reality.
2. You are (like many others did in asinine fashion) completely ignoring that I had a second question. Let's go ahead and call that "selective ignorance." The crux of my point for that question was already proved by an interview that was just released. How is my being proven to be accurate asinine?
Actually, no, I didn't ignore your second question. I just said, yes, I think it's likely Moz WILL acknowledge U2 at some point during the festival. That's what you DO at festivals to make small talk. Do I think he'll do it while he plays Satellite of Love? Uh...if he wants to insult Lou Reed, I suppose. Do I think his playing SOL has ANYTHING IN THE FUCKING WORLD to do with U2? No. Not one teeny tiny little bit.
So, in short, do you win a prize for surmising that Moz will mention U2? Hell no. You aren't exactly making bold claims, nor are they significant claims. It happens. Big deal.
My major issue is that you really seem to have started a thread because Moz played a song that you, for one reason or another, associate with U2 more than the original artist, and assumed that everyone in the world does the same. Including Morrissey, who, as you've already stated many times, isn't exactly naive to the world of music.
Do you think the earth is flat? Is it an asinine assertion to suggest that it might not be?
It's about as likely as Moz playing SOL in acknowledgement of U2 saying they might play more 90s stuff at Glasto.
3. Why in the world would I admit that I did not know SOL was a cover when I obviously and clearly did? I have known that since the ZOO TV days...
No clue, but you certainly didn't mention Grandpa Lou anywhere in the first post and you definitely made it look like you started the thread because you thought Moz covered U2.
