If your country is small, and has been invaded and occupied from Iraq in very recent memory, you'll find a populace gets very twitchy. Some of the people I work with were here during the first Gulf War and lost everything. There are relics from the war throughout certain sections of the city, especially in the older, less redeveloped areas. Thing is, if they did enter Kuwait, it would be like hitting the panic button. We have army bases for about 5 different nations all between the city and the border, plus the US and UK navy always has ships in Bahrain. Add a huge international expat community to that and I think (or would like to think!) there would be huge movement in defense if anything went down there.
That would never happen in music..... *wanders off whistling*..... All I can say is, remember James Arthur!
Formula 1 drivers' Twitter accounts are just as bad. There was a case last year where both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg posted exactly the same Twitter/Facebook posts as each other after a quali session. Even a few days ago, Esteban Gutierrez's account asked fans what tyres they would use on a wet track, giving them a choice of soft, medium and intermediate compunds, which are all wrong...
Honestly, I would have though most professional footballers or race car drivers are capable of updating their own Twitter pages, I'm sure they lack neither the capability nor the time
I feel bad for people who freak out when Justin Bieber (or any person with a committed fanbase of youngsters) follows them or replies to them even though it's probably just a member of their management team.
