The interviews were really bad. They're so nervous. Plus I think they should stick to making music, and not be hypocrites when it comes to climate and possible climate change. They are not scientists. How'd they know? And they fly all over the world for massive gigs. It's just stupid when musicians go all political without any substantial knowledge about the difficult matter.

Haha, the interviews were definitely awkward. I hear what you're saying as far as their political shit but they do seem to be as informed as busy non-scientists can be. Thom goes to conferences and shit, but obviously he's not a good spokesman on the spot.

 

And I agree on the carbon footprint but in fairness to Radiohead, they have in the past not done gigs because of the unnecessary travel. For example a few years ago they were on Conan via satellite and made a point to mention it was because they didn't want to travel across the Atlantic for just one gig. No other band of their stature would even consider turning down publicity for that reason, in my opinion.

 

I believe that's why they are playing a lot of different shows/gigs in this big chunk this time around. I'm sure they tried to cut down on travel impact as much as they could while still being "out there". For whatever that's worth.

They should invest in a superyacht, you know, to cruise luxuriously around the world to gigs, whilst helping out with their carbon footprint.

like david bowie

He's got a super yacht ? .. funny, i never pictured him as being in that league of wealth. the most information that i could get from a 10 minute search is that it's 125M's and based in the Med. No pics ;-/

what is wrong with the lead singer? why does he flop around like that and keep mumbling non-stop like a homeless person? does he have parkinsons or something?

Lol!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, that's priceless, digit

well, i mean how much flopping & mumbling do you allow before one of his bandmates has to step up and go "thom, we think you have a problem and really need to see a doctor."?

one of these nights he's going to have a stroke onstage and everyone will just watch him having a seizure for 10 minutes thinking "wow! thom is really getting into the show tonight."

interviews are super funny. they didn't get to say much tho, lol.

For some reason i'm fascinated to know that he was wearing that type of trousers. I never really thought about it before.
