tbf I overheard the Kate Bush segment on BBC World News last night while puttering around, it went on seemingly forever and included an interview with the music supervisor on Stranger Things. I figured it would be a 10-15 second bit and was a little taken aback myself.

Tom D's post makes sense though I am in the UK and don't watch news on TV anymore so don't get the exposure. I think that's a plus for twitter where I get a sense of all the actual crises while keeping fluff like this to a minimum.

I have positive thoughts for Glastonbury itself - I just can’t abide the media coverage (newspapers not tv).

I'd rather watch live footage of a cholera outbreak, but that does put me way outside "the things you don't care about" remit! But the idea of being in a field with 200000 people makes me feel physically ill. My brother went once and came back boasting that he spent an hour chatting with Timothy Mallett at a bar there, imagine boasting about that.

Slightly interesting that Dave Grohl seems to be much more newsworthy than Bruce Springsteen in the coverage of this world shattering event. Bruce is only mentioned as an afterthought.
― Doodles Diamond (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 June 2022 12:34 (one year ago) link
Grohl has probably had more hits than Bruce in the UK.

Pretty wacky to go out of your way to say you don't care for someone being stabbed (and just after it happened) because his novels didn't do it for you.
Do you do this every time a novelist you don't care for dies in the obit thread?

You misinterpreted me, which is my fault.
If anything, I bristled at map's post, thinking he was about to say the worst.
But I am unsure how you assumed "you don't care for someone being stabbed" from my line.
