Lots of people hating on Radiohead here. I fuckin love Radiohead so this really sucks. Now I need some new karaoke songs too ffs. Why couldn't they just be cool
I always hated Radiohead, so this doesn't affect me much. Seriously, if I wanted to listen to a guy incoherently piss and moan over the worst techno beats ever, I'd walk into a dive bar with a snare drum.
I really like Radiohead's music but they've been politically bad for a long time. They were really into the "Free Tibet" shit back in day and would hang Tibet flags on their equipment at shows.
sigh I think this is real. I really love The Bends and Ok Computer. What a stupid, stupid decision. I don't even get it. You have to be so far up your ass to look at something like this and say "you know what, I should make a statement on this, people really value my opinion" wtf no, just shut the fuck up. "Israel" is killing a whole culture, protests are happening all around the globe, 95% of the world voted for a ceasefire. Even if you go off just statistics, siding with "Israel" is an awful choice.
Never liked Thom Yorke or Radiohead, I just like that one song "No Surprises". His position on Palestine is not surprising though, I remember reading an interview he did along side Howard Zinn. Zinn said that Artists have a duty to be political, while Yorke says it's not his job. I also remember him being a big fan of the 80s-90s comedy show "Married with Children", anyone remember that show, knows how misogynistic it is. Has Yorke fully turned into a bitter old Anglo like Morrissey yet?
Happens a lot with bands that make it big. He's a millionaire at this point, probably with a lot of investments, his class interests align with his fellow bourgeoise, regardless of how radical he was in his youth.
