The Who with Orchestra


You seriously wouldn't go and see a band because one of them is a Brexiteer? :lol:
Too right - bloke’s a c*nt. All for Brexit until he realised what a shitshow it is for musicians and now he’s rowing back. I was a massive fan of the Smiths and Morrissey and seen him loads. Wouldn’t bother now cos he’s a c*nt too. Plenty of other bands deserve my money more.

I try to look past whether I like someone or not if I'm going to listen to their music. But you make a fair point when you bring in other bands that might be more worthy.
 
Great days - No Ticketmaster either. Just queue up at the box office to get the best tickets or send an SAE with a postal order to the little old lady in the box office stating where you`d like to sit and a couple of days later a nice printed ticket. No e-tickets, no apps just a proper ticket.
Yeah - tickets went on sale and you took a sickie from work and you queued all round the sides of the City Hall freezing to death or getting soaked but that feeling when you got your tickets in your hands - would hate to do it now but at the time it was part of the ritual to see a good band and it was good crack in the queue.

Can your remember being able to buy city hall gig tickets at Spinning Disks.

So you stopped being a fan of bands and giving them your money when you realised the people involved were c*nts but you’ve no issue continuing to support NUFC after being bought by a murderous regime? Do you not class MBS to be a bit of a c*nt? Why does he still deserve your money?

I think it's fair enough to stop following bands for such reasons. After all, what they say and do are tied incontrovertibly to their music. And giving them your support is an approval of their beliefs. It's arguably slightly different with football (support the team, not the regime, etc), but when the c*nts you're talking about are rapists, homophobes, misogynists and murderers, the ambiguity does fall away quite obviously.
