But really, breaking it down, this person thing doesn't represent what you are absolutely dealing with to a hundred percent; they are actually not those people you think ; instead, are murderer activist liers who take what they can from your good and leave barely a morsel left for you, in actuality... the plus side, is that I'm here.

Immediately, Stephen unbuttons his own blazer and puts his hands in his pocket also. This, is a clever and a great way of creating empathy to make sure the other person feels welcome and familiar.

Yes! It's a beautiful feeling, and it makes sense given the effect his music has had on so many of us. He was just having fun when Colbert asked him if his songs were little animas he sends out into the world, but I think that really is a good way to look at it. For over two-thirds of my life I've had his songs triggering my brain to release the same sorts of chemicals that are behind our sensations of familal and romantic love, and because I do feel very bonded to this music that's an extension of him, I also really care about him as a person despite our being strangers. Plus he just presents himself with such genuineness and a great sense of humor that makes him very lovable to me. I think he's truly happy with all that he's doing in his life right now, and that makes me truly happy as well.

Comments to Thom Yorke interviews are always the same, everyone assumes the man will be miserable and depressing but then he never is. Even in his older interviews where he seems more snappy, he's just asserting himself when he feels it's necessary - Thom figured out the media early on. He was always polite and gentlemanly, he was just honest and vocal when they asked baited or stupid questions and I love that about him. He spoke once about a Lou Reed interview where he was acting the same...telling the interviewer to stop asking dumb questions - Thom's words were "You've got Lou f'n Reed sat next to you and you're asking him that?" Absolute legend, so modest, too.

His personality shows: you don't have to be charismatic or sort of in your face all the time, to just be yourself and give up a facade you're trying to pull off. Heck, his album they mention here is about the same thing. A fake Twitter persona. Truly one of the best and smartest musicians that we're lucky to have!

Also, it feels a little more awkward because celebrities on these shows are usually superficially entertaining. He's just being himself and I've encountered a lot of people in real life that are kinda weird to the same extend, and never was i like "damn this is so awkward".

Also, if I happen to catch them twice on the same leg of tour, half the setlist (usually around 25 songs) will have changed. When Colbert asked him about REM, my first thought was Thom playing The One I Love on the electric piano leading into Everything In It's Right Place when I saw them in Atlanta in 2012. They introduced Identikit on that tour as well.

“Cliff edge” is a term of perception though. Someone who is pro EU would describe it as such. Someone who is anti would describe being part of the EU negatively. Ultimately, in a democratic society you do have to follow “the will of the people” whether you like that decision or not. It sucks to be on the losing side, especially when the chance of making amends isn’t going to come in a few mere years, but that’s the reality of democracy.

@fillbrin 4 жыл бұрын

@@ShellysAshes The problem might be to approach democracy as a sport I think. The 'losing side' will be everybody, or the 'winning side' will be everybody. Thinking that winning or losing when talking about the future of a whole country (and many countries maybe) is about being with 'the majority' (50, 60 pct) is a particular point of view, not the best in a democracy I think, because you still have >40pct of the people disagreeing on such an important subject. As an external bystander, I agree that there is a need to go through the process of brexit, because not doing it at this point, could break the system even more. But in the mid-term, the people might find themselves staring at a very miserable situation after leaving. Pro-EU? Anti-EU? Pretty soon that will be irrelevant, but the problems might continue and get even worse, so everybody will lose; or things might go well, and everybody wins.

@fillbrin it's been pretty conclusively shown that the "sides" in all this consist of, on one side, rational, concerned citizens who understand how being part of a larger union gives a mostly harmless, increasingly irrelevant country vastly more influence and opportunity in a hostile global marketplace, and on the other side, obscenely rich, privileged, tax avoiders who have weaponised the insecurity and/or racism of a depressingly large disenfranchised subpopulation, into helping them force a blatantly self-destructive manoeuvre through parliament, in order to continue being able to shield their hidden wealth which the the EU was about to stop. The majority of people on both sides will lose big time if it happens, it's only the sociopathic gazillionnaires at the top who will be fine, but then they'll also be fine if it doesn't happen, just not as fine as they feel entitled to be.
