Global Warming Proved; Traced to Radio Singer's Ego
More Annoying Than Coldplay? Sadly, Yes
OK, I can't take the suspense. For two weeks, the English music website NME (online arm of the New Music Express periodical) reported that Radiohead singer Thom Yorke was "considering" meeting with Tony Blair on behalf of eco-alarmists "Friends of the Earth."
Let me repeat: the headline for two weeks was that the SINGER of the POP BAND Radiohead ("I'm a creep/I'm a weirdo") was thinking about meeting with Prime Minister Tony Blair regarding global warming. As in, Moses is "considering" meeting with God, pending an invitation.
Well, the invitation has arrived. "Mr. Prime Minister, would you consider meeting with Thom Yorke?"
"Who?"
"You know, the Radiohead guy. sings I'm a creep, I'm a loser?"
"Oh yeah, him. Sure."
But...get this...Thom doesn't know if he's going. Always devoted to the fans, he had to ask their opinion via the band's website (which in 2000 included a handy link to the Ralph Nader campaign). "Gee, do you think I should go?"
Did I mention I'm thinking of painting my dining room? What do you think? I really need your opinion. I really, really need to know what you think.
Look, OK Computer is the best album of 1997, hands down. How that relates to global climate change, I don't know.
Did I mention that Thom Yorke is considering meeting with Tony Blair? Stay tuned for the exciting continuation, as Yorke ponders this monumental conundrum while sorting his sock drawer.
