Billy: “I’m over us.”
November 12th, 2008 by apmtags: ac/dc, news, interview, radio
Less than a week after doing a radio interview with Matt Pinfield on WXRP in New York, Billy and Jimmy entered another radio studio for another extended interview. This time, they paid an “hour plus” visit to Elliot in the Morning show in between the Black Sunshine and White Crosses shows in Washington. No doubt proud of the efforts of their booking staff, the EITM website boasts that their interview is “rare”. Even though I’m not hipstersunited.com’s resident economist, I don’t believe the Pumpkins’ media availability meets the generally accepted definition of a scarce good.
The interview can be heard here in three parts.

Cancer comes from unhappiness? Weird.
Holy Shit.

I’m not a fan of “the power of positive thinking/prayer”, but mood does affect you susceptibility to illness. When I get enormously stressed I get colds.

Embargo on the word “energy” for Chamberlin.

also “planetary resonance”. banned for life unless he is writing a science fiction novel or something.
I should really stop listening to their interviews cause the more I hear them talk, the less I can relate to them. They sound like a pair of cultist or scientologist.

nah, just new age. They’re not talking about an intergalactic overlord (only in their video games).

I haven’t listened to this interview yet, and it does’t affect my enjoyment of the music/concerts at all, but the talk of energy and of cancer being causes by negativity is offensive to me both as someone with a science background and as someone with a history of cancer in my family. It is amusing to me that in terms of music Billy is constantly looking to the future and purposefully avoids looking at the past, but in terms of medicine he is looking more and more backwards to “theories” that were disproven eons ago.

for the sake of his own health, it’s foolish, but he’s not preaching this to anyone else. he’s not saying everyone should live their lives the same way. that would be offensive.

@tcm: That’s a good point. I haven’t listened to the interview so I don’t know the context in which it was presented. Still, individuals eschewing medicine/vaccines is not in the best interest of public health, as it leads to more carriers of disease and the recurrence of diseases that could/should have been eradicated long ago.
recaptcha: “Lamont trophy”, presumably referring to Lamont Jordan of the Patriots hoisting the Lombardi trophy after winning the 2009 Super Bowl.

I have like 109494898 and 95 books about the mind/body and how it relates to illness, and I have to concur. At first I didn’t… and it’s not always the case, we’re just beginning (in science) to scratch the surface of the idea. The mind has a more powerful hold on the body then we realize. Stress lowers our immune system.

That means absolutely nothing. Where is your peer reviewed study?

“That means absolutely nothing. Where is your peer reviewed study?”
an exemple:
body is made of hormones….most of hormones depend of the brain…it’s a very easy way to say that yeah mind have something to do with the body..
Have you heard about the story about the mun that lift up a car because her kid what under it???
Mind control our body, that’s not new….
but the day I break my arm or leg or whatever…I’ll go to the hospital …ya know what I’ve mean??
November 13th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
You know, the first time you responded to me, I let it slide because it was charmingly ignorant. This time its just pathetic. A body is made of hormones? What are you, 5?
No, I’ve not heard the story bout the “mun” you idiot. I don’t know what an “exemple” is or what a “kid what under it??” makes. An “exemple” does not make a peer reviewed study imbecile, especially a stupid one.

out of subject..but
for Self-Respecting Brain:
“Hormones (from Greek ὁρμή - “impetus”) are chemicals released by cells that affect cells in other parts of the body. Only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism. It is also a chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to another. All multicellular organisms produce hormones; plant hormones are also called phytohormones. Hormones in animals are often transported in the blood. Cells respond to a hormone when they express a specific receptor for that hormone. The hormone binds to the receptor protein, resulting in the activation of a signal transduction mechanism that ultimately leads to cell type-specific responses.”
I’m not five, I just went to school,college graduate… and talk with scientist, in loboratory ect..who work on DNA etc…..and have also talked about the effect of mind on body…
even “pragmatic scientists” believe in it…I know this because , once again, I’ve met some…
also learn respect

PS: yeah sorry for my english and my mistakes, I’m french and not fluent in english…
November 14th, 2008 at 8:02 am
TL, honestly, your English is better than that of a lot of native speakers of the language.
November 14th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
You are the gift that keeps giving, TL.
This was even sillier. And it confirms what I was saying, you’re just repeating what others are saying without thinking. You gave me a definition of hormones which just proves what I was saying. A body isn’t made of hormones, it has hormones.
And no, you probably don’t talk to scientist or doctors. If you did, you’d know how pathetic it is what you’re doing. You’d also know what “peer reviewed” means. The saddest part of this is that what I said was a chiding joke at the time which you didn’t get either.
Keep going, you’re hilarious.
November 14th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
I don’t even want to answer to that…
THAT would be pathetic
