How do you know he won't?

To be fair, he didn't turn up to receive it and has shown no interest at all, chances of him doing a lecture are pretty remote I'd have thought.

He couldn't have turned up to receive it yet, that is not until December 10th. And it is quite possible that he does not want to make a political or otherwise statement until that date - if he does choose to make a statement at all. Right now he is quiet for reasons known only to him. That is usually the case until you cease being quiet.

I am very interested in knowing the outcome, or rather I am even more interested in the reasons behind it. But I will wait and consider different possibilities. It can still go either way.

Interesting. The only thing I know about her is that I've heard her name before. I take it she's a singer of some sort. No idea what genre she performs, nor would I care.

Never heard of her either. I looked her up on Wiki and she was a punk rock performer in NYC back in the mid 1970s when I was in high school. Again, never heard of her, but I never got into punk rock. I'm thinking the term "superstar" is not appropriate for her though. A performer whose music genre doesn't appeal to me, or even one I avoid, should still be a recognizable name if they are in fact really a superstar. Again, never heard of her...

Sometimes I wonder if we all live on the same planet. Could also be a generational thing, though. This was such a huge hit when I was a teenager:

I think it's a genre thing. I don't ever recall hearing that song. If I did, it certainly doesn't stand out and I've long since forgotten that I did.

In the 70s, I was listening to AOR stations, hard rock, heavy metal, and 50s & 60s oldies.

I can do without him. I don't like his music at all and would rather listen to the Partridge Family than to suffer through his songs
