Concert Promoters Won't Let Bruce Springsteen And Paul McCartney Be Great
At the very end of Bruce Springsteen's 3 hour-long set at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London's Hyde Park last night, panties blew off of overexcited crotches when Paul McCartney came out to yodel and twerk his ass next to The Boss for two songs. Bruce said that he's been waiting 50 years to perform on stage next to Paul McCartney. They finished "I Saw Her Standing There" together and as they sang out "Twist & Shout," the show's promoters issued a STFU notice on them by turning off their mics. The promoters didn't worn a ho or scream at Bruce to pull his cheeks together and cut it short. They just muted a bitch like that. After some people called the silencing of The Boss and McCartney a blasphemous sin, the organizers said that they had to do it, because the clock struck 10:30 and that's the time the city told them to kill the fun or they'd get a fine. Live Nation, the show's organizers, issued this statement of words to The Guardian:
"It was unfortunate that the three hour-plus performance by Bruce Springsteen was stopped right at the very end but the curfew is laid down by the authorities in the interest of the public's health and safety."
But Stevie van Zandt of the E-Street Band wasn't taking that excuse and tweeted on and on about being muzzled:
One of the great gigs ever in my opinion. But seriously, when did England become a police state? We break curfews in every country but only English cops needs to "punish us" by not letting us leave until the entire crowd goes. Is there just too much fun in the world? We would have been off by 11 if we'd done one more. On a Saturday night! Who were we disturbing? The cops got nothing more important to do? How about they go catch some criminals instead of fucking with 80,000 people having a good time? English cops may be the only individuals left on earth that wouldn't want to hear one more from Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney! I'm sorry but I have to be honest I'm pissed. Like I said, it didn't ruin the great night. But when I'm jamming with McCartney don't bug me! If it's a public transport issue I'm sorry but people are adult enough to go get a train if they need to without the cops pulling the plug!
Something in the milk ain't clean about this shit. I bet Live Nation isn't spitting up the whole story. Why do I have a feeling that 10 seconds after the music died, Heather Mills was seen hopping away with a cuntified smile of victory on her face and a fake backstage pass in her hand. That bitch never stops!

Hi, IF. Enjoy your time in NC?
I'm so out of DListed that I'd have to scroll back forever to know what's going on.

I can't even imagine what they'll be doing with music by then, It wouldn't surprise me at all if they did perfect holograms to the point that a Beatles "reunion" concert looks totally real. Lol!!

Evening, guys! How is everyone's Sunday going?
This is kind of funny in a way because it reminds some of the 1% in the music biz the kind of police state nonsense one endures to go to a public outing, march or concert.
Hey Bruce, wait til the police TAKE YOUR EQUIPMENT and take your ass to jail for playing music.
these people SO need a reality check its not even funny. People get so soft and out of touch being carried around on a pedestal for the last 30-40 yrs..
and even though I got mad love for Bruce and Sir Paul , their fans annoy the shit outta me and to be quite honest , this big "all star jam session" sounded like shit , like a group of some way past it older dudes having a jam for old times sakes in the basement somewhere.
O F F Key.
London shuts down early but the party goes underground and in peoples homes til 7am Monday morning. that is an all nite town , even if they do get you corralled off of the street.
Its not plastic surgery , its a medical condition!!

hey spider! not bad so far, spent most of it packing and moving. I got a pretty bad sunburn while at the bf's soccer game...it was a cloudy day, and I was even thinking I shoulda put sunblock on at the time...but I didn't, and now I look like a lobster. lesson learned. Now I'm relaxing with a glass of wine and finishing up one last assignment for my summer class and then I'm freeeeee.

Nah, if John Lennon weren still alive, he would probably be:
1. Annoying to the public, because he could be a huge self-righteous hippie asshole and that is even less tolerated now with the Internet.
2. Creatively dry.
3. Ball-enslaved to the other self-righteous asshole, Yoko.
I'm not denying he was a genius and he made some of the greatest pop music of the last century, but to pretend that if he hadn't died he would have been a creative god of pop music for the next fifty years is absurd.
Also, the only reason he's canonized as being so awesome is because he was murdered. If he had lived to seventy, people would regard him as a talented but pretentious asshole.

You can also say that Angie still loves Billy Bob or Jenny S. That'll also do the trick.
But yea, you might try to suck up to them (that is, if you can stomach it) and let out a few praises in the beginning. Say you're a long-time lurker and be sure to use "God bless the Jolie Pitts" every now and then. Bonus thumbs-up if you can bash either me or Whamo from the start.
They have so many alts that they can't properly identify who is a "true fan" and who isn't. If they've fallen for the portuguese alt, then anything is possible.

I will definitely check it out if I'm ever back in Philly. I wish I still had those things. My aunt sold them all at a garage sale after he passed. I often wonder who the lucky bastard was that scored that stuff.
Breaking Bad is awesome. I started watching it on Netflix and I'm on season 2. I cannot believe Bryan Cranston, aka the dad from Malcolm in the Middle (also a very good show) is the main character but there you go....shows what a helluva actor he is. I'm hooked!

whether you are too cool to like them or not, it was a cuntified, stick-up-tje-ass, police state "we are here to help you" kind of move to pull.
Amen to that! I'm not even a real fan of these two, but it's fucking asshole Big Brother shit. Yeah, the police in the UK are totally fucking useless and are more likely to make life hell for the VICTIMS. But they'll rescue "the public" from a rock concert featuring one of the fucking Beatles.

Sigh. As someone who lives within a half mile radius of Hyde Park, I have to stick up for the organisers. I wasn't home last night but have often heard those concerts whilst at home and they're loud. Last summer or the summer before, Kings of Leon played there and I could hear, word for word, Sex on Fire, which isn't on. Not least of all because that's a festering turd of a track.
I don't care what band you are or how famous/legendary etc you are. There's a limit to this shit and it's tedious having to justify it when people who aren't there couldn't give a fuck who's playing.

My grandad, too, as was his father, and his father before him. He has stuff like that, including some really old stuff, most notably some human fetuses in early stages of development. Dunno what we're going to do with those when he's gone.

Breaking Bad, IMO, is the best TV show running right now. It is incomparable. You have to watch it from the beginning, though. It is so fucking intense and the acting is flawless.

OT; I totally hate on people who try to trick you into offering to do something they don't wanna ask you to do.
My neighbor calls me at midnight saying she smelled smoke, wondering if either her house was on fire or I was grilling, ha ha.
She knew she smelled something and knew it had to be me at this time of night blah blah blah ha ha ha.
She tied me up for ten minutes, hoping I would offer to grill a steak for her. Why not just ask?
I'm not a hard person to get along with, just be real. I got another neighbor who flat out asked me to cook her a steak, even come around to ask me to teach her how to grill a steak. Not the other one. Damn, just ask for what you want.
