Retired music mogul ALAN MCGEE is waging a bizarre and bitter online war of words with a man impersonating superproducer BRIAN ENO.

The pair have been exchanging insults on social networking site Twitter for a number of days, in full view of other internet users.

According to CMU Music, MCGee started the fight by insulting Eno's production work, and then asking him "when are you going to make a decent record again...1972 was the last one c**t".

But MCGee's rants are falling on deaf ears, according to Scottish dance star Calvin Harris. Harris reveals he approached Eno at a recent event to ask about the argument with MCGee, and the producer - who has worked with Coldplay and David Bowie - insisted he isn't even signed up to Twitter.

Despite everyone jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, there are some real flaws in this whole micro-blogging craze, especially when it comes to following celebrities. As Exclaim! recently found out the hard way, not everyone out there Twittering is who they say they are, like, for example, the individual who owns the Twitter account twitter.com/Brian_Eno.

Following our story earlier this week, “Brian Eno and Alan McGee Start Twitter Brawl,” Brian Eno himself emailed Exclaim! to inform us he has no connection whatsoever with the above Twitter account and is in no way engaged in any “Twitter-fest” with one-time Creation Records head Alan McGee. In fact, Eno says he isn’t even signed up to Twitter. Here’s what an obviously annoyed Eno had to say to Exclaim!...

You published, as did many other sites, the exciting news that I was engaged in a twitter-fest with Alan Mcgee. I'm not. I'm not signed up to twitter. Alan Mcgee is arguing with someone, but it isn't me. You might think it boringly bureaucratic to check your facts, but it's nowhere near as boring as the several hundred conversations I'm now going to have with people who will eagerly ask me how the argument I'm not having with Alan Mcgee is going. Perhaps I could refer them to you? Brian Eno

Still, it seems the real bad guy in this whole thing is the person running that Eno Twitter account, who by the way is still out there bickering back and forth with McGee.

Whooo!
THE CLAWS ARE OUT BABY!
this story made me laugh so hard.
Actually it sounds like a joke to me, not some sort of rage-enboiled argument or something.

Eno is now a badass in my book.
