Also, U2 sucks.

Uies suck more with Larry. I feel there is a theme going on.

JP, FF and U2 all worse without a decent drummer.

[NickD]

@mclaincausey Park me squarely here on U2.

FF - I don't hate them, but they are one of those bands where the greatest hits is all you'll ever need of their music.

The death of the mechanical bicycle makes me sad.

@Bridger I love wearing good boots but when it's a long walk to the pub I wear trainers.

[Bridger]

You could always grab an Uber @gazza61

[gazza61]

@Bridger not good for the planet.plus I like walking.

[Bridger]

You're a good man @gazza61

Bill Gates would endorse both your environmental and fashion choices

I can do long walks, like a day visit to a city, in my wescos.

[Bridger]

Same @endo - not Wescos but I only travel with boots or wear them all day at festivals. Good boots are comfy.

[gazza61]

@Bridger thank you

[gazza61]

@endo my feet are too old for long walks in boots these days

It’ll never die! Just getting marginalized.

I have two mechanical bikes, one of which is also a fixie so I can brake with my legs. I much prefer hydraulic and especially disc brakes.

I think John Lennon was actually the most superficial of the Beatles.

[SKT]

I’m curious about this…it’s an uncommon opinion I think for sure. Paul always seemed to get slapped with being more superficial, especially lyrically

[Bridger]

Thankfully, we have Liam Gallagher and £3000k tickets to prove it.

What I mean is that Paul is a great composer and and he convinces me with his daily life lyrics. George is obviously the deep mystic soul (my favourite Beatle) and Ringo is Ringo, a great drummer with the right sense. John was the provocateur and for sure also a great composer, especially together with Paul (an incredible unit). My favourite Beatles song is probably 'A Day in Life' which is so nicely divided between the two. But when I listen to John's lyrics after the Beatles, like from 'Imagine', for me it is essentially blah-blah. A bit like his activism.

You'll probably hate me, but that's this threat is for. And I'll take the punishment.

My buddy and I were talking about this driving home from a trip yesterday. We both felt Lennon was the biggest douche of the Fab Four. Had he lived on, that today he would be insufferable.

[chrisjohnnick]

I mean, it's hard to compare since Paul had so many more years of personal and professional life for people to critique. But I will say, after watching the Get Back doc, I get why George never said a word. Or, rather, never had a chance to say a word.
