Has anyone asked...
Had an idea for what could be a good thread, awkward questions that you wonder if anyone asked the manics when they met them in person. For example, to start i'd say:
Has anyone asked them about the Chic/Steps sample in It's Not War, and if so what was the response? |

Hello Nicky. Are you really married? Really?
No I haven't asked him that. And no I wouldn't ask him that.

Do you actually doubt he is married? Or do you just want to ride the Wire?

I once knew someone who asked JDB if he was an ELO fan, and got the response of "yeah, there was some good stuff on their Secret Messages album". Which is a weird thing to ask, and a weird thing to answer with (especially if you've ever heard that album).

You're kidding, Secret Messages is awesome!
I can't see many people wasting their chance to say something to them by coming out with anything remotely controversial. I certainly wouldn't.

See The Verve who's Bittersweet Symphony sampled the strings from the COVER of a Rolling Stones song - it all went to court and now Jagger and Richards get the royalties from the song.

Considering the Manics' love for Japan, I'd ask them about their favourite cartoons.
