Has anyone here ever met Jarvis Cocker of Pulp?

[seantizz]

Jarvis once sat behind me on a train journey from Sheffield to London. Knowing that people wouldn’t believe me I took this photo whilst he was sleeping. 

I realise it’s a pretty awful thing to do..

Oh my God that is absolutely priceless! 

 

He sleeps all proper, too. LOL!

Yes, but it doesn't excuse his interruption of another performers act. I don't suppose Jarvis would give a flying fuck if MJ had stormed one of his performances, but that's not the issue. Yes, there were rumours about MJ kiddy fiddling etc, but at that stage they were just that - rumours. MJ had not been tried in a court, and convicted, so where's one of the fundamental facets underpinning our laws, that someone is innocent until proven guilty? There would have been a huge swathe of people who would have wanted to have seen MJ's performance without JC's involvement. 

If I'm honest I really like Jarvis Cocker as a character - in as much as that I know of him. However, even though his ad hoc performance might have tickled a soft spot on one level, I do firmly believe that he shouldn't have done it, and that it should never have crossed his mind (pissed or not) to consider that he had the right to do it, and then actually to go on and do it.

Yes, Jarvis Cocker is cool as a cucumber, most probably a nice man, but made an error of judgement. I don't know if he apologised or not. Do you know? If he didn't, I think that he should have. We've all done mental things when pissed, and got away with them, but sometimes you've got to hold up your hands and take the wrap. Then again, that's just me applying my own moral compass. Maybe it's not as universal as I thought. Hum!

Before anyone says anything bad about Cocker, remember this....................................................

Once saw him on leather lane coming out out a charity shop

I walked past Phil Oakey once if that helps.

Did he give you a hard time?

 

Sorry about that. I'm a little sesh damaged.

Was going to say something about his love action, but think that's best left.

The weird thing was I got off a train, walked out of the station exit, literally first thing I saw in Sheffield was Phil Oakey.

That's the thing that dreams are made of.

 

OK, I'll stop now.

I haven't met Jarvis but I did see him in Gar Du Nord once. He is one of those celebs who is instantly recognisable from behind (lanky frame, corduroy suit).

 

I've told that incredible story before here; but it's anecdotes like that that make this thread exactly what it is.

I was in Sheffield train station for a connection yesterday if that counts?

[Homer]

It’s all go today!

and, this is completely true, my mate who supports them sent me a new story earlier about Waddle taking over at Wednesday! Unbelievable!

I met Phil Oakey once. It’s a long story, and it doen’t end well, but essentially what happened was that I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.

Damn - I'm out of likes!

I met Jarvis on his quest for knockers.

Gave This Is Hardcore a listen for the first time in ages the other day. People generally think Different Class is their best and while it is a classic album, Hardcore is a masterpiece.

My favourite Pulp album. I love life, the night that Minnie Timperley died and Sunrise are stand out tracks for me. Great album.

It's a gorgeous album. Horribly underrated.

Also has great outtakes, some of which are available on YouTube, too.

After Jessie J at 't Albert hall was stumbling around round the West End near Liberty 'round midnight and saw Eddie Izzard ing drag.

My Dad grew up in the area in the 80s, he's told me stories of meeting him here and there.

He said Jarvis went home with a (female) friend of his, whose sofa my Dad was sleeping on that night. Poor bloke.

Friends don't believe me anyway, it's just one of those stories.
