Ben Lee cops what he deserves

[patsmith]

and the Ataris are who? the band that did that ********ful cover of "Boys of Summer" a few years back? They aren't ones to be talking about someones 15 minutes of fame.

Actually, the Ataris have been one of the pre-eminent bands in the punk-rock scene for a long time. And why can't they talk about someone's 15 minutes of fame?

Really? Guess it shows how big the punk-rock scene really is, the reason they shouldn't be talking about anyones 15 minutes of fame is because theirs (mainstream fame anyway) ran out about 3 years ago.

I don't think they particularly care about "mainstream fame", as they've been doing their thing for over a decade, yet only got recognition for a crappy cover song.

With the state of "mainstream" music, which you obviously love, I'd much rather have underground cred than having to fit the bubblegum-pop/faux-gangsta mould that is the norm in the top 40.

I'd rather have millions of dollars and groupie bitches than play shows to scenesters that didn't pay to get in anyway.

Why do you think they covered that song and released it as a single??

Don't you find it a bit funny to be declaring someones 15 minutes of fame up, when yours has been up for quite a while?

I find it quite pathetic. Actually the whole situation is quite pathetic. Attempting to steal someones girlfriend, failing miserably and then writing a sad bagging the guy because you couldnt get any.

People keep saying Ben Lee is overrated but honestly who has ever rated him. How many top 10 songs has he had? How many awards did he win?

BTW this actual incident was appalling. I cant believe some idiots are actually happy that someone got bottled.

No real fan of Ben Lee but getting a bottle on the bonce is uncool.
If he was a pedophile then alright but he's just another muso who's music makes his fans happy. That's the great thing about music, if you don't like it you don't have to listen to it, but if you want to spend your time bagging someone for being relativlely successful seems like a waste of time and energy to me.

Baggin him because he's a tool.,not because he's relativlely successful.

Going by the the majority response the guy is just that.

Does that mean it's ok for me to throw bottles at you if I think your a tool?

 

[Z_K]

I have to admit, I laughed my arse off when I saw this in the paper.

what a stupid point to argue.

 

[Androo]

WHAT

Ataris Punk rock?

so this why I don't listen to punk rock anymore

 

[Monkster]

what a stupid point to argue.

How so? You seem to think its ok to throw bottles at Ben Lee because he's a tool, surely I should be allowed to throw bottles at someone I think is a tool.
