Yeah. That’s me. I can’t even stand them now but loved that record. And to a lesser extend Achtung Baby. Everything since is supremely annoying to me

Foo Fighters however used to drive me nuts

Fooies suck more without Josh

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.

[mclaincausey]

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.
