13:47:09 <sbp> the main thing is that Eminem isn't smiling when Bruno is directly overhead
13:47:19 <sbp> whereas everybody around him (including presumably his retinue) are
13:47:35 <Morbus> well, yeah, but the whole point is that eminem has had a history of homophobia. purportedly.
13:47:43 <sbp> ahh, interesting
13:47:43 <Morbus> so he wouldn't smile at the obviously guy Bruno skit anyways.
13:48:02 <Morbus> that's *why* this, to me, looks so obviously staged.
13:48:30 <Morbus> the fact that eminmem was right there, that the guy in the row in front of him seemed to *push* Bruno into him, that, magically, there was a camera angle on those steps, etc.
13:48:52 <Morbus> that out of all the audience members, he just /ahppened/ to land on the phobe, etc.
13:48:54 <Ficthe> besides, doesn't eminem rely on his 'street cred' to be held a certain way in order to keep his fanbase? if it was staged, he's in fear of being called a homosexual, if he wasn't, he wasn't humiliated

15:15:06 <[bjoern]> any thoughts on who we should vote for in the coming election?
15:15:55 <[bjoern]> well news scroll mostly worthless so far
15:23:26 <sbp> no knickers: depends on the politician, presumably
15:23:44 <sbp> it looks like we can all vote for that blue and gold woman's party, by the way
15:23:54 <sbp> I saw somewhere, Guardian I think, that it's the first pan-European party

15:24:18 <[bjoern]> when are you voting?
15:24:21 <sbp> 4th
15:24:29 <[bjoern]> We go 7th

15:25:05 <[bjoern]> we always vote on sundays. Voting on weekdays is primarily so your run of the mill workers have trouble voting.
15:26:01 <[bjoern]> it's not like the european parliament has much say over anything anyway
15:26:15 <sbp> does it have any say over whether Europe can go to war?
15:27:24 <[bjoern]> They might give speeches demanding the commission release its declaration of war so we know who we are fighting.

16:09:40 *** mmmmmrob has quit ("we're off to see the wizard...")
16:12:49 <sbp> if I had to make a case for another, I'd say Crazy Man, Crazy because it was the first song *written* as a rock 'n' roll song. Rocket 88 and Rock the Joint had both been rock 'n' roll covers of proto-rock songs
16:18:05 <[bjoern]> remind me in 10 minutes to !
16:18:09 <sbp> k
16:24:02 <sbp> then again, Saturday Night Fish Fry was pretty close. hmm
16:27:00 <sbp> and that would fit with what Chuck Berry says about things too, that Louis Jordan was first
16:27:05 <sbp> well, the first that Berry heard

16:29:17 <[bjoern]> of course I did !, what fool do you think I am not to do ! before !!
16:31:29 <sbp> hmm, the original Rock the Joint is there too actually
16:31:39 <sbp> but Saturday Night Fish Fry was earlier anyway
16:31:52 <sbp> ah! actually, no it wasn't
16:31:55 <sbp> just a few months out
16:32:40 <[bjoern]> I would not be surprised if vatican archives chronicle earlier emergance of rock.
16:33:08 <sbp> hehe
16:33:18 <sbp> only problem with Rock the Joint is: no guitar
16:33:32 <sbp> a lot of screaming and standard sax lines and backbeat and thumping bass line though

16:49:17 <sbp> also I forgot Real Rock Drive was earlier than Crazy, Man, Crazy
16:49:20 <[bjoern]> perhaps it was intentional to make himself appear more human.
