so U(stupidfamouspeople) didn't ask the lame pestering questions, that was TMZ.

But I still don't understand how your name isn't supposed to refer to the famous people who U R showing. Unless U R purposely trying to mislead people with your name to provoke a response so then U can say how stupid they R for responding to support ,in your words, "the icons that they worship". U could call yourself "fameisstupid" if U weren't trying to provoke supporters & fans into responding w/sympathy or anger

@godhelpme2009 Irony.

That's extraordinary....I came across this by chance; you came across Robbie by chance, a member of one of the most important bands of the last fifty years and all you can ask him is 'are Coldplay the new U2?' your username should be 'stupidordinarypeople'.

[stupidfamouspeople]

@LadyColnbrook We didn't ask him anything actually, although someone from TMZ did ask him that. I can say that I've listened to the Band (and Dylan) my whole life, and your opinion of ME has no insight or value, really. I did get his autograph, which I still have. It's not our fault someone from TMZ isn't familiar with the band... they're pretty much the most underrated band of all time, so what do you expect? An insightful question? And furthermore, these are paparazzi you're talking about.

@LadyColnbrook Lastly, our name isn't a literal reference to famous people being stupid, it's a reference to FAME and IDOLIZATION as a thing in itself being stupid. When fans flood our videos with ridiculous comments supporting the icons they worship and don't know personally, I do find that stupid. There's also irony in the fact that I believe our entire stupidfamouspeople channel is stupid. So in that sense, I agree with everything you said.

Wtf, U2? Coldplay being the new U2? What the hell does Robbie Robertson care about a hack band and a hack band cover band? "Hey Robbie, what do you think of the new Skrillex single?". "Robbie, what outfit do you think Lady Gaga will wear next?" "Robbie, what does God taste like?" "Robbie, do martian farts smell like bubble gum?" Other than the martian farts, who the hell cares? The guy is a legend.

Hes looks so jet lagged i'd just tell him i loved the last waltz and leave him alone

Robbie was great through all of these dumb ass questions.. and for everyone out there buying guitars he signed... he only signed the pickguards. They were only chasing a buck, not the MAN

[PorroFirst]

That's gotta be annoying.. he needs to keep one eye on his bags and one eye on the fans.

[caseymusic34]

Did he say Bon Iver?

[Slivings911]

Poor Robbie Robertson, getting hassled like this. Maybe he's tired and wants to be left alone.  :-(

[sk8ordiet15]

@stupidfamouspeople . . . I'm suspicious that you don't understand what "irony" is . . .
