Oasis opening with Gary Glitter song

[MrsSkylerWhite]

at their reunion concert. Distasteful?

Your user name is from a series about a crack dealer. Don't you think that's a bit distasteful?

Distasteful.

What a lovely 1950s word. Conjures up images of starched aprons, doilies under scones, crumpets for tea and being bored shitless on Sundays.

No I don’t think it’s distasteful. I also can’t wait to hear it on the 20th. It can hardly be claimed as a GG song anyway - it’s a sample. Do you think the same about any gynaecology appointments/treatments you have based going on the person who created some of the techniques? Of course not.

GG is an horrendous person. MJ (in my opinion) was an horrendous person. J Marion Sims was an horrendous person. Their work? No.

People get so offended by anything these days.

Meth, not crack. Slightly less distasteful.

Don’t really care tbh. They were annoying twats then and they still are. But what do they care! ££££

Fair enough 😁

Okay, seems IABU. Thanks all.

Oh no! What did he do ?No him as well ?

The most important fact being omitted is just that Oasis didn’t open with a Gary Glitter song.

The desperate desire to be outraged is ugly.

The BBC wouldn't be able to give out a very clear message of their true moral stance by keeping the statue of Eric Gill in a proud, prominent position...

Yes, I agree. I always loved Two Little Boys as a guilty-pleasure song that stirs up the emotions, but it's forever tainted by that monster now.

He didn't even have anything more than a mediocre singing voice; if only it had been recorded and popularised by any of a thousand other artists who weren't wicked child abusers.

Hello is an oasis song lol
It carries a small sample from the Gary Glitter song and was long before any convictions.
Honestly there is nothing to be offended about- that’s from someone who doesn’t even like Oasis

That's what I was thinking

They couldn't have opened with any other along could they 😆

I probably do not really want to know ... why is PRINCE on this list @ColinOfficeTrolley ...

In the US they quite often play a bit from Rock N Roll Part 2 as part of the hype music at sports matches. It was a bit weird to hear it in a big family oriented event but I don’t think most people would have thought anything of it.

Meanwhile there is a West End musical dedicated to Michael Jackson.

@YesTonightJosephine I think Prince’s ex wife accused him of coercive control.

Ahh ... appreciate the update @dayswithaY ... I guess I have some unpleasant reading ahead of me ...

I am a big Prince fan but he wasn’t a very nice person, I’m afraid. Wendy and Lisa called him Prince when he was being a megalomaniac in the studio, and “Steve” when he showed glimpses of the shy wee guy they knew back in Minneapolis.

Michael Jackson was never convicted of child abuse. Some people made allegations, some people who were round him as kids said totally not true. Gary Glitter has been convicted, and multiple times

I may have been living under a rock but why RHCP and bowie?

What is wrong with some peeps on here? It's a song by Oasis, but who really gives a toss anyway it's just a lyric and music?

This :

Details of Anthony Kiedis' troubling sexual assault history

I dare not ask about the other artists mentioned either ...

It was Hello which was the perfect opening song for a reunion concert and was written back in the mid 90's and it wasn't even an actual GG song.
Oasis clearly don't clutch pearls thankfully
