Why does Radiohead hate America?

about touring in America?" Thom's response: "Going home."
They're entitiled to their opinion, but some of us here in the states
actually buy their albums. Could it be because the U.S. wasn't that
supportive of their pre-OK Computer albums? Anyways, just a few
thoughts. Let me know what you think. Cheers.

save one little quote. Perhaps, because of the size and population of the
U.S., their touring company books them for the longest time and they are
exausted by the end of the tour. The fact is that they at least come to
America, and you shouldn't be looking any deeper into this than you are
already. Don't try to start a debate over something that trivial.

Because America stands for everything Radiohead is against?
The video of 'Paranoid Android' has been censored by MTV.They took all nipples out of the cartoon, but they had no problem with the scene
in which a man cuts off his own arms and legs.

I wasn't trying to start anying. Sorry to get ya all hot and bothered.
Touring is just something that comes along with being a rock band-ok
they get tired-that's just the price they pay for making millions of
dollars. We really shouldn't feel all too sorry for them:) But some of
you are right. Some aspects of American culture are downright
embarassing. Thanks for your thoughts. Cheers.

Yes. Like Shoney's, Walmarts and MCdonalds on every corner, a huge number of

Indeed. I can now rightfully claim to be the only miner left in this
here country. It's true. If you don't believe me ask Margaret

oasis are a good band... even if liam gallagher's eyebrows are a little
too close together for comfort... and you shouldn't be siding with the
anti-manchester lot... if mancs are hillbillies, what does that make us?

Manchester is in England. You can't call it a European city unless
it's on the mainland, otherwise you sound like you have an inferiority
complex and just want to make yourself appear more cultured.

Oasis are an enjoyable band. Though their off-stage antics are infinitely
more entertaining and well-crafted. And I didn't say I'm anti-Manc...I'm
not anti-hillbilly, either, I just stay far, faaaaaaaar away from them...

Do you even know the origins of the word "hillbillies?" You
really should find out before making such a broad statement.

Yeah, but the fact is that they are now hillbilles living in America, there
are none in England. We are all probably from somewhere in Africa
originally, what does it matter?
Things Unknown
>Who the hell would want to go there
Nobody. That's why it's called a "melting pot."
Now post and tell me how dumb I am.
DJoz.
Lakers won the NBA championship and like any good American citizen
celebrated with the pussy yuppie equivalent of a riot. And it pretty much
sums up how apparently we see each other from either side of the Atlantic...
"Six little injuries. When there's a soccer game in Scotland, you're lucky
if you leave with that many teeth left in your mouth. Soccer fans in other
countries make the Laker riot seem like an argument between two narcoleptics
playing Super Mario Brothers, but there's a reason.They spend their days
watching our old Starsky and Hutch reruns, smoking cigarettes, and looking
at sculptures of old naked men. You can expect them to freak out when
people are bouncing a ball around on their foreheads, but in America, we
jump off of bridges with rubber bands around our necks. We have passenger
side airbags because you never know how much our drivers have had to drink.
And we don't park our cars, we maybe slow down to thirty five and jump out.
Mountain Dew comes out of our faucets and any one of us has probably taken
out an armada of space aliens or vampires. Open one of our beers and I'll
make it snow in the goddamn room. So somebody won a basketball game, LA?
That's great. Tell me when they're naked chicks wrestling in a vat of
oatmeal someone drpped out of plane, and THEN I'll think about getting
excited."
Yeah.
ANYway, the point is, any name-calling in this thread is pretty damn
pointless, since it's all the equivalent of "I'm the bigger white
asshole...NO, I'M the bigger white asshole AND I have an ACCENT!!!"
