she needed telling.

no, that was good.

She's 14, and I used the word cunt.
I'm deleting it.
I don't wanna get banned.

Be honest with them at an early age!

(I am glad you have noted that she is 14 - I mean, how could you not have noted that???!!!)

I am cacking myself - even funnier that you are now trying to delete it!

but I've just spent the evening at an open mic night listening to shite singer-songwriters who appear to be pursuing their lifelong dream of sounding like every other motherfucking singer-songwriter on the planet which has left me wanting to bludgeon myself unconscious, partly to relieve myself from the pain and partly to ensure I don't wind up harming them instead.

So I'm inclined to applaud you. Even if she is 14.

but not your comment on James Blunt...

It seems silly and vaguely cruel to accept a friend add just to do that. Even if she was 21 or something, amusing though the comment was, I don't really see the need for it...

her songs are OK. Certainly, as her taste and skill grows, she could turn into a very fine songwriter, who knows?

My music taste was pretty awful at 13/14

For her age, she's writing and recording her music, and that in itself is admirable.

Good luck to the lass.

Come on John. You're an intelligent adult and - judging the exchanges we've had - a nice guy too. So what was the point in leaving that comment in the first place?

She likes James Blunt. big fucking deal. Last time i checked, folks were entitled to their personal tastes no matter how insipid.

James Blunt has become some kind of shorthand here on DiS, hasn't he? whenever there's a need for some indie bonding, slagging the Blunt is a safe option because nobody is going to come to his defense, so there's no risk of damamging your reputation.
What i don't understand is why folks here are even aware of him?
Blunt doesn't even exist in my universe. There's way way way too much stuff to listen to in this world without turning on the radio and being bombarded with shite, and telly where you're likely to see the likes of Blunt is very very easy to avoid.

All I really know about the Blunt's music is that he's sold a hell of a lot of records. I have NEVER heard anything by him other than maybe 30 seconds of 'You're Beautiful', but going by that alone I can understand why people would think they like it. Its utterly harmless. Its bland and shallow, just like a majority of the population of the UK. But that doesn't mean folks need to be berated for liking it... otherwise you may as well start slagging people off for liking Corn Flakes, or tea, or Coronation Street.

Seemed funny until I noticed she was 14.
Now I just bullied a child into not having Blunt in her top friends.
A hollow victory.

But i can't find the comment. What did you write? But she is totally shite though.

you massive bastard!
