oh no…apparently i’ve offended celine dion’s fans by expressing my stunned dismay at her bizarre super-bowl performance.
i’ve got to learn to be more diplomatic and stop pissing off public figures and their fans.
what’s my problem? why can’t i pick on people who are less deserving of it? i have nothing against celine dion. it’s just that i don’t appreciate her music and i thought that her superbowl performance was less than compelling.
that’s just my opinion. i like the satanicide version of ‘my heart will go on’ very much, for what it’s worth. and a few years ago i had a ‘slow dance’ party here in manhattan and we played a few celine dion tracks (especially that one from ‘beauty and the beast’. watching drunk new yorkers grope each other while listening to celine dion was really sweet, actually.).
but in the future i will refrain from expressing my opinion regarding the art and/or antics of other public figures.
and then when i retire i will write down what i’ve actually been thinking all of this time. oh, the thought of actually being honest as regards my thoughts on culture and other public figures is almost narcotic… i might not have been overly diplomatic over the last few years, but i’ve certainly kept 99% of my thoughts regarding culture and other public figures to myself. cos let’s face it, most public figures are greedy, vain, mercenary, and depressing, and most popular culture sucks ass.
but i’ll wait a few years until i’m safely ensconced in a tropical retirement (with monkey butlers. butlering of their own volition so as to not compromise my delicate stance on animal rights) to go into specifics.
i might start with a diatribe against the vast cadre of public figures who use their celebrity only to further their own narcissism, wealth, and marketability. i mean, god forbid some public figure actually comment on one of the 5 million important things that are going on in the world.
in closing, just fyi, do you know how many public figures (actors, musicians, etc) have it in their contract that they will only speak about their current ‘project’ during an interview? for example:
‘so, mr. public figure, iraq has just been bombed and there are children dying in the streets, do you have an opinion?’ ‘i told you! i’m only here to talk about my new movie where i play a street smart, skateboarding detective with a rascally otter!’
thanks,
moby the bitch
