Ok the BCS post is on its way, just in the nick of time (two weeks after the BCS games).
But in the meantime, let's consider something really important. That I thought about while running tonight.
Why is it impossible for today's pop stars to be able to sing and dance...simultaneously? Now, there's lots of reasons to detest today's popular music. Its not actually music, just loud beats and electronic dissonance. The "musicians" don't actually play any musical instruments, write songs, or read music. The lyrics are banal, and in some cases abusive or degrading. But, hey, that's what they said about the Stones when they first started.
The real reason to hate on Britney, Ashlee, Miley, 50 Cent, and such other Emperor's clothes-wearing artists? Lip synching. Faking on stage is breaking out faster than [insert Tommy Lee joke here]. 50 Cent, Madonna, Ashlee, Miley, Kanye West, Britney...no one seems to be able to sing their songs while shaking their groove thing on stage. So? Why should anyone pay the beaucoup dinero that these people charge for concert tickets, if they're not even singing? Its like the musical equivalent of wrestling.
Don't have enough breath to dance around on stage and sing? Elvis thinks that's ridiculous. Try that excuse on James Brown, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Sam and Dave, the Pips, Mick, Tina Turner...It is, in fact, actually possible to dance around the stage and sing at the same time. How shuddering is it to think that one day these masters may have to share their Hall of Fame with the likes of Britney Federline? Someone please kill me first. But just right before that happens. Don't do it, like, tomorrow or anything just to make sure. That wouldn't be cool.
Cut out the death sticks, take some music lessons, practice your singing, and work on something in addition to looking good.
Next-the BCS. Yesterday's news, today.
