“We are not really here just like a fan of the invisible man”
This is wrong on so many levels.
1. We are here, that’s why we’re singing it.
2. The invisible man is also here. You just can’t see him. Invisible does not mean “not present”.
3. It’s not even a comparison with the invisible man himself, it’s a comparison with a fan of his. Being a fan of the invisible man has no bearing on whether you are there or not. If the fan of the invisible man is here, it’s pretty fucking pointless singing we’re not here just like him.
4. We’re not really here is a nonsense anyway. We either are here or we’re not. This is binary. There is no halfway house where it seems that we are here but we aren’t really.
How many times during the Covid season did you hear us singing “we’re not really here?” None, because we weren’t there!
