    I heard from a friend that Garbage thanks Tim Duncan and the Spurs on their new Cd. Anyone know why she would do this? Is she just a fan or did he promote them. Just curious feel free to come up with stories but would like to know truth.

    He appears in their video for their first single, "Off the Glass." While it sounds like a good fit, the song is actually about Shirley Manson's raging cocaine addiction.

    Okay, I just made that up.

    Actually, I think I remember Shirley Manson wearing Tim's jersey in "The World is Not Enough"

    She was staying downtown for a few days two months ago, so there's some tie to San Antonio. Not sure what it is, though. There wasn't a concert.

    Just FYI, Garbage is a bunch of gear-head studio veterans who decided to put together a band, and recruited Scottish singer Shirley Manson. Butch Vig and the other guys had produced albums, individually, for bands like Nirvana.

    I believe they're from the Minnesota area. The connection isn't obvious to me.

    It's a band. http://www.garbage.com/

    There's a free .mp3 of their new single there.

    Edit: it's actually an Apple I-tunes file.

    IMO, Garbage peaked with their first album. The follow up albums have never lived up to that one.

    AHF would say that they are thanking Tim for being the focal point of the offense that they named the band after.

    howdy. finally decided to stop lurking and join the party.

    shirley manson, the lead singer for garbage, is a huge nba fan and she has a huge crush on tim. on the band's website she keeps a diary of things going in her life during tours and the recording process.

    for the `04 all star game, she described being at the game and having a fantasy of tim making the big shot in the game and then making a gesture towards her to express his affection. she describe tim as a steaming hunkpappa of manhood, or something like that. not sure if she knows tim is married though....

    cheers

    Since I didn't know there was already a thread made for this....I made a new one recently...so I guess I'll post what I started the thread about here...

    I was reading my Blender magazine and on the last page they have an article called "Who Does Shirley Manson(the lead singer of the band Garbage) Think She Is?"

    Anywho I was reading it and they asked her this little question and this was her response....

    Blender : What's your favorite legal drug?

    Shirley Manson: The San Antonio Spurs. About four years ago I spotted Tim Duncan taking some free throws, and I became an insane basketball freak. I have NBA League Pass on my TiVo, and I spend revolting amounts of money on tickets. But I never want to meet Tim Duncan; I just want to idolize him from afar.

    Crazy....I guess I like her a little bit more now that I know she's a huge Spurs fan.

    Gee, watching Tim shoot free throws is what sold her? She likes to live dangerous.

    S. Manson was a cutter. And not a "Breaking Away" kind of cutter. That's not surprising. Far too many girls are like that.

    I loved the first effort, but Version 2.0 was insane! That's one of my all time favorite albums.

    tim duncan may have to put a restraining order out on this one:

    Shirley Manson
    - Vocalist for the band Garbage. She has a low self-esteem and hates the way she looks. In a 1998 interview she said, "I feel disgusting. I could take a knife to my throat for the way I look. Can someone just put a bin or a bag or a ing bomb on my head?" As a teenager her feelings of weakness and of being overwhelmed were manifested in cutting, she would snip the safety guards off Bic razors and would cut up her arms. She used to carry a sharp object in the laces of her boots and would cut herself with it whenever she felt stressed.



    stupid girl
    I think she's incredibly good-looking. Anyone else in agreement?

    I think she is like Drew Berrymore, hit or miss. She can look real good, or bad. She does have those oprah-like fish eyes though.
