More Radiohead
More Radiohead President Bush’s daughter attended a Radiohead show in New York, much to the bemusement of the band.
Radiohead are outspoken about their distain for the President and his policies and were left flabbergasted when they found out one of his daughters attended.
Thom Yorke says they noticed there was a commotion on the balcony and later realised it was her security.
Yorke wrote: “I was told yesterday (June 16) that one of the daughters of the president came to NY show 2.
”We were playing ‘The Tourist’ at the end of the show… and yes we did wander what the shuffling manhandling fighting was in the distance of the audience.
”Turns out it was her 6 bodyguards clearing the way for the first daughters exit. and some pour soul objected at being manhandled by the secret service. I think I would have to.
”In fact, if I had known all this my objections would have been more forthright and extensive...if you know what I mean. Which is perhaps why our lot chose not to tell me who was in the building before we went on. Probably a good idea.
