Peter Buck in the friendly skies

oh yeah, a question....

I must celebrate this incident with an air rage compliation. Any suggestions?

Has it been confirmed that he shouted "I AM R.E.M" at one point?

Oh yeah, R.E.M. What the hell ever happened to them?

I'm not far away from Isleworth - anyone want to go and gawp in the public gallery tomorrow?

"Other witnesses have claimed that Buck swore at Payne, saying: "You are just a captain and I am REM".

However, Payne claims he was unable to understand Buck due to his slurred speech.

He explained: "He sounded like someone from Texas in America - with a very slow drawl".

The trial continues.

N., the quote I have from BBC is 'you're just a fucking pilot, I'm R.E.M.' Priceless.

Ahhh, life's rich pageant ..

You're In The Air. What's going on?

So has Bono now officially taken it upon himself to save every single person in need? The size of the man's heart is exceeded only by his bloated, malnourished ego.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but since Bono's testified that he's generally only had contact with P-Bucky once or twice a year, it begs the question: what the hell is he doing at this trial? Is the thinking that he'd have more cachet with the jury because he's the Almighty Bono? I'm confused.

I know a lot of people who I only see once or twice a year, and I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable operating as a character witness should any of them one day decide to christen some hapless air steward with a vat of flavoured yogurt. I'm sorry, but the whole thing wreaks of Bono's trademark factory-pressed heroism.

Mighty Mouse + heels + self-aggrandizement = Bono. Huzzah!

"I must celebrate this incident with an air rage compliation. Any suggestions?"

"Black Box Recording" by Firewater, "Waitress in the Sky" by the Replacements and....err......"the Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats (isn't that what you call what the stewardesses do prior to take off?)

Oh yeah, R.E.M. What the hell ever happened to them?

They became more interested in the sounds of cash registers than the sounds of guitars, no? One pictures Stipe in the back of a limo, emoting with the usual Rain Main affectations: "Peter's a very good passenger... he's a very good passenger."

One question: Can there be a career nadir lower than "Imitation Of Life"? Those lyrics -- "That's sugarcane that tasted good; That's cinnamon that's Hollywood; C'mon c'mon no one can see you try" -- Beyond pathetic... it sickens me even to copy and paste them.

"It's the end of the world as we know it" - special dedication to anyone flying w/ Peter Buck.

Could there be a worse time in history to be charged with such offenses? Other than, y'know, September 12.

The drinks trolley / CD player confusion makes sense to me. There could be a good tv commercial for the new iMac in here somewhere (Peter can donate his spokesperson fee to a court ordered charity).

Catherine Wheel - the that has "We're on our way down." in it.
Liz Phair - "Stratford on Avon" (I think is the one) "Look to your left, passengers! Look to your right. ... This is your very last flight."

That James Taylor song about flying machines in pieces on the ground

i liked imitation of life, it's better than ninety percent of their other songs.
