by thommo

If you had to be one person who has gone down namelessly in the annals of pop, who would it be?

The guy who shouts Judas at Dylan?
The guy from EMI who tells The Beatles that guitars are on their way out of fashion?
The person who throws a Bible at Ocean Colour Scene on Southamton Common in 1998?

At the moment i'd either want to be the person who called Idlewild "a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs" or the person who gave Daft Punk their name...

one of the people heckling suicide

in brussels, before alan vega shouts "SHUT THE FUCK UUUP! THIS IS ABOUT FRANKIE!!!"


I would like to be that guy who

Lets out those mad screams at the end of Hotwax by Beck.


.

The guy who told Frank Black/Black Francis to just "scream it like you hate the bitch"... or something along those lines.


The woman who called out "twat" at Bill Hicks before he lost it in Chicago.

That's not very poppy though, so maybe Terry in "Waterloo Sunset". Julie Christie, hmmm...

the kid who phoned up Going Live and asked Sarah Greene to pose Five Star the question, "Why are you so fucking crap?"


Yeah I know, Terrence Stamp. But I don't want to meet Terrence.


The person who

threw a wheelchair at Daphne & Celeste at Reading

Or was he/she just an urban legend?


LMAO ^


.

The person who, when asked by Men Women and Children, "How many more songs do you want us to play? 1 or 2?", shouted, "None! You're shit! Get off!"


^^^

HA, ace, Frank Turner gave them a good review, and hope Of The States a bad review in Rock Sound though, I love him a little less now.


he was right though

MWaC single = ace, hope of the states single = shite


The consensus for those guys is:

Single = great, but rest of album = bollocks.
