Well, it is a discussion of irony.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
At least if you dont like the Buzzcocks, it doesnt , unlike Freddie and his crew, go on for hours and hours....
Anyway Cloughie, I thought you liked great pop music ?

Which reminds me of a certain conductor from the USA (Los Angeles) for whom I worked in the late '90s and early 2000's. He once told the orchestra one of his rare jokes, stopped a moment and then said "hey, that was irony and I'm not supposed to be able to understand that!"Originally posted by french frank View Post

Later on there was a discussion in the bandroom: was this comment itself an adroit use of irony? We were unanimous - naaah!Originally posted by Once Was 4 View PostWhich reminds me of a certain conductor from the USA (Los Angeles) for whom I worked in the late '90s and early 2000s.

I once commended the American singer Annette Peacock on her use of irony in her juxtapositioning of lyrics and musical idiom, asking wasn't this unusual in American culture? to which she replied that we [here in Britain] had to understand that America was still a very young civilisation - one which had not yet reached the evolutionary stage of being ready to appreciate irony!Originally posted by Once Was 4 View PostLater on there was a discussion in the bandroom: was this comment itself an adroit use of irony?
