An apology to Chris Brown

[lesfunk]

Has anyone considered that maybe she deserved the beatings?
People today are so quick assume that women don't ever need discipline...

Kinda like when a women goes out scantly clad and then has the nerve to yell Rape!

[lesfunk]

well...If she's not being raped she shouldn't yell it. They're all asking for it anyways! Turn 'em upside down and play 'em like a harmonica!

Just not while you are driving. Seriously, trust me on this.

Although it's not the sort of music that I would choose to listen to, I don't think we can equate her with the Maroon 5's and Colplays of this world. There is some real soul to her voice, and those songs come from somewhere inside her. She writes those tunes, she's not given them by some record label. It sort of reminds me of the first Nora Jones album - not my thing at all, but I'd never equate it with the soulless crap that usually clogs up the charts. Neither of those artists are edgy or dangerous (nor are they trying to be), but at their best they do channel some considerable emotions (and I'd also say that some of the arrangements in those Adelle tunes are cleverly done).

I don't feel it. Perhaps what was soured on me were the facts that her song was overplayed during the NBA Draft last June. The song was dreary and sucked away any kind of emotion to the event. Comes off as whiny and not genuine to me.

That and claiming influence from the spice girls kinda made me want to puke.

Now on the other hand, I am digging this one song that has been starting to finally chart here.

I don't like the analogy because Die Hard is a perfect film of it's genre, a classic.

She's more like Die Hard 4.

My point isn't that Die Hard is a 'bad' film, but rather that it is then purely to entertain - a popcorn film, if you will. And it's a very thrilling one.

Consequently, criticising it for a lack of depth is misplaced, because it's not trying to comment on the human condition in way that The Killing Fields, Citizen Kane, or a many other films are. In the same way that it's not really fair to criticize Ussher for not being Pink Floyd. He's making music to make people dance to - nothing more, nothing less.

Back to the subject at hand..

Chris Brown apparently just danced to a Nirvana song on the VMA's.

It's kind of disgusting to me in a way, I despise Rihanna, I feel that she's an overrated "Talent", and doesn't have much of a voice. However, what he did to her was disgusting and despicable, and inexcusable.

For him to be covering a song by a man that was quite on the side of "Feminism" and was very much against stuff like homophobia, kind of just boggles my mind.

Don't get me wrong, again, I've gone on record saying that Nirvana was the most overrated band of the grunge period, and Soundgarden and Alice In Chains are quite superior to Nirvana.

It's just disapointing to me that these group of idiots don't seem to have some semblance of respect for other peoples work.

Wow something good on Fox News...

There's a lot of good things on Fox News. Nothing thats good for the right reasons, but 5 minutes of Glenn Beck always sends me into fits of laughter. He's even better then Peter Finch in Network.
