christianity is stupid ... but in other news, always going forward, cause we can't find reverse. I was blessed enough to see negativland live at a couple of subgenius devivals, and think about star trekking on a fairly regular basis due to being such a Star Trek geek, and I thank dr demento for so much.

> christianity is stupid ... but in other news, always going forward, cause we can't find reverse. ...but less stupid than U2 it turned out. I'd of loved to seem them live but am an E Coaster. Everything I know about SF I learned from A Big 10-8 Place. Most importantly, I know where Dave's mom's cigarettes are.

  > but less stupid than U2 it turned out I'm sure you mean the letter U and the number 2, because anything else would be a lawsuit. I was only lucky enough to see them (in Portland and Seattle) because of religious beliefs, which apparently was enough!

  Christianity is Stupid is a track on Escape from Noise (by Negativland). I think I still have the album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_Is_Stupid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_Is_Stupid

  I'm sorry you're offended by a song title by the band that we were discussing that is directly related to the article, but this is a direct response to what dr Demento was playing, not a religious or political response. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNR4PHyvXeQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNR4PHyvXeQ for a randomly searched YouTube video. perhaps you'd also be interested in the _other_ reference, where the artist was sued and an album destroyed because of heavy copyright enforcement against parody: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/ep-u2-sued-out-of-existence/ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/ep-u2-sued-out-of-existence/

    >I'm sorry you're offended by a song title by the band that we were discussing You presented the title of the song as if it's a statement you're making, not as if it's the title of a song you want to discuss. It's to be expected that this would cause confusion. >perhaps you'd also be interested in the _other_ reference I think I'm missing something here. I don't see where your previous comment makes a reference to the EP U2 by Negativland.
