Another Good Performer Bites It

Still lamenting the passing of the artist formerly known as Darius Rucker into "sell out and look like a moron land", I again happened across another 'artist' I formerly admired for very excellent work. When ol' Gewn's new musick came out a few months ago, a deep fear and bone chilling despair ravaged my heart.

What had happened to this once awesome lead singer of No Doubt, one of the most fun and most talented rock bands ever amongst an entire sea of really horrible music and crappy sparkle and fade bands that littered the scene in the 90's? Everything No Doubt put out was awesome. It was fun and it was, something most bands lack, good. Sure, Stefani was this female lead singer that the record industry would eventually turn into the pop whore she has become, but I thought she was different. She (along with No Doubt) seemed to have the talent and ability to do something better than the other crap out there. But, alas, my hopes for Gwen not to pull a Hootie were smashed to bits on Letterman the other night.

I know I complain about crappy music alot, but just how stupid has this society gotten? After the recording for 'Hollaback Girl' was in the can to be released, did Gwen and the rest of the morons turning knobs on that track really sit back and feel that they just laid down tracks to the next big song? Were they proud of the 'music' they had just recorded? Were they actually pleased with the sound of that horrible, vile, moronic, stupid, vomit inducing, stomach turning, just plain bad song? THEY WERE??? Then what drugs were they on?

There is just no excuse for something to sound this bad and to then be released. That means some big wig at a huge record company thought it would be a good idea to release 'that B-A-N-A-N-A song'. Man I need that job. Putting the 'OK' on crap all day and making a ton of money off of it sounds like a plan.

So Gwen, once talented rock queen, has taken the easy way of pop whoredom... er I mean stardom just as her counterparts X-tina, Brittany, J-Lo, Paris, Nichole, Lindsey, and a plethora of other talentless icons that offer nothing to the world except the ability to show how skank they can be. Way to go ya'll. Thanks for selling out and telling all the impressionable kids out there how cool it is to be a slut.

You know, it's bad enough to have to listen to bad music like The Vines, The White Stripes, The Killers, and all that garbage while big corporation sits back and proudly pushes them as the greatest thing rock has ever seen. I am ashamed for the human race that this idiotic entertainment flourisihes. There are aliens laughing at us right now because their favorite reality show called 'Earth' is one big joke.

(Wow... All of that from a crappy song huh? Well songs, actually. I think I really just wanted to say, that song sucks.)
