Stones Finally Rock Milan Message Board and Comments
Comments
I am thrilled that Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones are so supportive of
Italy and Italy's World Cup victory. How classy of the Stones to invite Del
Piero (who I believe is friends with Noel Gallagher) and Matterrazzi
onstage......
What a contrast from Julian Casablancas and The Strokes who failed to even
acknowledge Italy's World Cup win at a concert in Torino yesterday.
Furthermore, Julian not only was pulling for the French football team, he
repeatedly said "allez les bleus, allez les bleus" at a Strokes concert in
Paris, he allegedly made disparaging remarks about Italians.
First, I do not know why Julian would root for France since he is half Spanish
and half Danish. Second, why would he alienate Italians and Italian-American
s??? I am Italian-American and I am furious. Third, it was beyond tactless for
Julian not to congratulate Italy on its fabulous win when the Strokes played in
Torino last night.
For years, I was a Strokes fan but no more. I cannot listen to or support a
band whose lead singer is bigoted towards Italians.
I am also stunned and heart-broken.
