If so, I foresee a lot of electrical gremlins plaguing their concerts. 84216@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Sep 2004 10:31:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/09/075257.php#comment-84169 Marty, if what Kapranos said was "cool," then why be bothered by his "slagging off" other bands for their use of groupies to fulfill their baser "needs?" It may be a perk of being on the road, true, but that doesn't make it admirable behavior. I really respect Franz Ferninand for this; I only hope they're sincere about it, which, as their career goes forth, only time will tell. If I were in rock'n'roll, I'd declare a ban on groupies they same way FF has. 84169@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Sep 2004 09:13:12 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/09/075257.php#comment-84151 I am not sure he is slagging off on other bands...it could be taken that way, but I believe he was speaking more of the ugliness of dealing with everything that can come with young women you don't really know...he could have been speaking of Kobe Bryant for all I know. ;) 84151@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Sep 2004 08:26:57 EDT
