My point of view is that Keeping it Stupid knows little to make comments about this man.

Maybe she likes Saddam Hussein, Stalin and Pol Pot too. Why not? They are just misunderstood.

Who can hate a man who conquered Ireland? The Irish always deserve a kicking. William of Orange is another great man.

The point is - I am blown away by the combined precision and creative musings of Jennthebenn's writing.

It's well deserved. I have been carefully reading your blogs all week. The information therein is a veritable treasure trove.

 

Lol! Snoopy knows.

So (not seeing anywhere else to put this)

Who else watched this:

http://www.vbs.tv/watch/soft-focus-a...thurston-moore

I liked Thurston's and Kim's answers - but wasn't particularly impressed with the interviewer.

[Georgekrz]

it was all right, there's another thread on this few topics down. about that plane crash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_air_disaster

best part was when they were talking about the Cramps, the one that went nowhere was the leaders question (needlessly provocative the way he worded that question and then bringing up Mussolini).

Thanks. I found it now

Tragic.

Yeah, that was good. Thurston made the whole interview by carrying it. Kim bailed early and I thought the interviewer wasn't particularly engaging.

the one that went nowhere was the leaders question (needlessly provocative the way he worded that question and then bringing up Mussolini).

Agreed. He just seemed to have a real lazy approach to this interview.

[RanaldoNecro]

Both of you missed the point of this interview altogether. I am sure if he came out and said something Kim would say something like "What makes you assume that" or "Its just a media construct" or "false stereotype". So the interviewer played to that level, and the whole thing became flat with awkward silences.

Rapid fire, Larry King, point and shoot questions wouldn't act with Moore. Its more about following someones wits than 'cornering them'. Think of this interview like a dance, that both parties have to follow as oppossed to 'a kill'.

Matching wits with Thurston would be a battle enough.

So . . . "flat with awkward silences" was the point?

I understand that tactic.

I certainly wasn't endorsing any kind of "kill". Just didn't expect that kind of ramble.

I think the presenter is quite impressed with himself.

Matching wits with Thurston would be a battle enough.

Thurston seemed rather agreeable to converse in a relaxed and non-confrontational manner.

So, perhaps the interviewer did a "good job" after all.

Maybe, these are artists, I don't understand them either.

Well, the interviewees are artists. The individual doing the questioning - his "art" seemed to be that video intro of himself in many different poses

Remember when silence = death

Ah, nostalgia . . .
