It’s very unfortunate to report this, but I have to. Some of you may know that Bloc Party is pretty high on my list of favorite bands. In fact, Kele Okereke has been one of the biggest inspirations and motivators of my life. I hold him in the highest respect. Therefore, it will be difficult to report this with unbias, but I’ll try.
Saturday night in Barcelona, Kele Okereke, post-punk kiddie, and John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten), punk granddaddy, had a spat that turned physical. Any Bloc Party news is enough to get me excited. Any Bloc Party news that involves a physical fight, even more so. Any Bloc Party news that involves a 3-on-1 fist fight, sparked by unjustified racial comments, that ends with severe facial bruising and a split lip… well you can imagine. (more…)
