McGee Vs. Eno In Twitter Skirmish

Can we please call an immediate moratorium on Twitter fights before paying attention to illiterate, foul-mouthed bickering between otherwise intelligent adults behaving like juveniles starts taking up too much of my time?

Hold on, it already is.

Record company executive and artist manager Alan McGee (The Jesus And Mary Chain, Primal Scream) has been taking shots at musician and record producer Brian Eno (Coldplay, U2), and their respective tweets are becoming increasingly nasty.

McGee started the mess when he said Bryan Ferry doesn't want to work with his former Roxy Music bandmate and called Eno's work so boring it makes people fall asleep. Things escalated from there, although Eno seems to have bowed out early this morning (Tuesday) after posting a dismissive "Fuck off, wanker" in McGee's direction.

Here are some of McGee's other bon mots:

"oh fuck off eno"

"put on any record you have ever produced brian if you want people to sleep.was it your idea to dress up coldplay as the beatles"

"morning brian wondered when you would wake up when are you going to make a decent record again it was 1972 was the last one cunt"

"what boring shit are you going to produce next brian old bean?"

"i would have stuck to the art installations more chance of having a decent conversation with a bulb than coldplay or dido/bland"

Enough already. I'm all scrolled out.
