Since I was a little kid I've had train wreck fascination with people who act like they have a highly informed opinion that's been solicited.... when in reality their opinion is jaw-droppingly UNinformed and completely UNsolicited. Witnesses are left with two possibilities: 1. The person honestly believes he's qualified which makes him delusional. or 2. The person is well aware which makes the behavior unprovoked aggression. Either way, the only productive response I've found is avoidance.
I loved Adam and the Ants since he first hit Boston in 1980(?). It was before he became popular here. Then there were the Dead Kennedies (Kennedys?), the Jam, Pychodelic Furs, Then there was 'die deutsche Invasion' a few years later. The German language originals were on the air and no longer 'new' when the English versions were released. My German prof told us enrollment in his department spiked during this time.
Wish I knew why I don’t always see notifications until HOURS later, but here I am…catching up. Dunno about all the mansplainers. If I wanted their opinion, I would ask. Fine to share your story and even a suggestion, but anyone trying to tell me what to do is automatically on my shit list.
As for the non-UK European musicians, Falco is the only one I remember. And yes I rocked me some Amadeus. Germans and Austrians get mixed up in my geographically challenged brain. :-)
