Chic...

[Guest]

You think nile rodgers considers himself a cheesy novelty act? or rob da bank when he booked them as bestival headliner?

no idea.... I imagine not.

Well, I personally always hated Abba, but I am aware that they were much loved by a lot of people. The likelihood of them playing at Glastonbury seems even less then Led Zeppelin to me

the point is that the people getting all giddy at the prospect of abba headlining were branding them "shite" 10 or 15 years ago, and would have laughed up a lung if someone had said they hoped they were headlining.

The same thing has happened with chic

I don't know where you or Neil get your indisputable information from.

How do you know that the people saying they would like to see Abba said they hated them 10 years ago?

[Guest]

because I existed 10 years ago, and still exist now and observed things then and observe things now.

Or are you suggesting that abba have always been a credible headliner??

I don't know where you get your indisputable information from.

that's a thought you might try applying to your own indisputable information.

You know, like the youtube video that you felt gave you much more information than the information of people who were there - so much so, you felt you had enough solid info to laugh from.

I suggest that before you post, you hold a dispute with your own fingertips. Things will go much smoothly if you did so.

I'm just getting into Duke Ellington, am I too late?

the fact that the video shows a fairly busy crowd with quite a lot of them looking fairly young wasn't the main point I was making.

and yet that the *ONLY* point you tried to make with the video.

And yet I said nothing about how many were watching or how many of those might have been younger people

The rest of the bollocks you posted I'll treat with the contempt that your additional bullshit to try and dig yourself out of the shit you dropped yourself into deserves.

[Guest]

Never. And (sorry for the hijack) if you have a bit of spare cash (or hard drive space ) this box set is absolutely essential stuff.

I'll investigate. I've got some stuff, but I've heard some recordings that are fairly wild, which I've been trying to track down.... any ideas what I'm talking about? One of my faves is an album he did with John Coltrane... sublime

[eFestivals]

it was an afterthought

for an afterthought, they'd first have to be some thinking.

[Guest]

This is my favourite Ellington album:

(what is/are volume and fat stackin benjis? )

[Guest]

I'd tell you where it's from, but it might sound like I was marketing something to you.

Saw Chic in '09. Tent full. Ages of those in attendance varied like most festivals. Band were incredible. I cried.
