That's my 3rd monocle this week

You’re a bit of a simpleton when all is said and done.

@Tim_Riggins

It’s going to get them banned from the U.S. anyway, so not sure about it being a good career move. I think they’re just earnest tbh.

Getting banned is the ultimate career move. Have you any understanding of popular culture?

[Cheasty]

Getting banned from the BBC ruined Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s popularity.

The young people all sided with the BBC and said “how proper and right that those disrespectful young men have been silenced, now let’s watch Songs Of Praise”.

[Tim_Riggins]

Not when they can’t monetise it.

“Music should not be a stage for political discourse”, says Sharon Osbourne.

Lolz.

Coachella 2025 will be remembered as a festival that compromised its moral and spiritual integrity. Goldenvoice, the festival organizer, facilitated this by allowing artists to use the Coachella stage as a platform for political expression. At a time when the world is experiencing significant unrest, music should serve as an escape, not a stage for political discourse.

Did Shazza live under a rock in the 60s. Probably.

Shazza should ask Oswald to explain the song “War Pigs” to her

Maybe it was about a pig farmer from Northumberland who liked to talk about “wor pigs” and it got lost in translation?

Even pig farming is political in its own way though.

Sharon herself campaigns against trophy hunting and I don’t think she means the Arne Slot type.

Sharon should keep her nose out of politics.

[Watchyourtoes]

Sharon is Jewish isn’t she? Or of Jewish stock.

[Arthur]

Has anyone even tried to explain how ‘fuck Israel’ is anti semitic?

[Fagan_ODowd]

@Watchyourtoes

No idea. I know nothing about the woman only that she is married to a member of Black Sabbath

[Watchyourtoes]

They have a lovely convenient way of tying nationality to religion, so anything said negatively towards Israel is automatically taken as an attack on Jews the world over.

The Wolfe Tones made more money in the last 2 years than the previous 20 just because Sky News etc started lecturing the Irish womens soccer team over signing Celtic Symphony.

I thouhht the US was the last bastion of Free Speech?

[Bisto]

They must have made serious wedge over the years

[Julio_Geordio]

@Fagan_ODowd

Black Sabbath

Must be Jewish so sure

[Tim_Riggins]

The Wolfe Tones are untalented hacks to be fair. Making money from the same market as Rory’s Stories, The Two Johnies etc. is not the same as genuine international success.

Kneecap have some talent.

[Kyle]

Money is money.

[Bisto]

Then Wolfe tones lads have made a fortune singing about the plight of poor old Eireann
