Bauhaus vs. Dead Can Dance Feud

[The Newswire]

Future generations are going to study the decades after the popularization of internet interaction turned most of the population into emo feuding crybabies and shake their heads in disbelief. Apparently, back in May, Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance called Peter Murphy of Bauhaus "a sandwich short of a picnic". Brendan Perry of course posted this on his forum under a fake nick.

Wow. There's a lot of irony in the 'angry depressive goth' comment, there. Lovely when people take themselves so seriously that they believe there should be legal recourse for being disagreed with on the subject.

Seems like the obvious answer would be Peter Murphy, if there were any need for such a contest. But still. I just want to be like, "dude, you are Peter Murphy! Stop it!"

I mean, I get why Brendan Perry would put up with Peter Murphy jerking his chain for a while, in order to go on tour with him, but eventually feel like enough is enough. I also process that Peter Murphy is no spring chicken and I sincerely doubt he made up unpredictable health problems, just to annoy Brendan Perry and repeatedly almost tour with him. But making it a big public juvenile emo drama?

The two of them are behaving in a way which really begs for someone to make LOLercat pics out of them.
