Crap. Why can't Britney Spears or P. Diddy Dip Shiddy go instead?
RIP...

Britney's career is suffering a fate worse than death. Go to your
local thrift stores and flea market and count the number of discarded
Britney CDs. They're easy to find. Usually shelved next to the
Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Spice Girls discs.
The other week I could've had a complete set of Backstreet albums,
INCLUDING the three Burger King promos, from a thrift shop for about
$6. Naturally I left them there in favour of a stack of classical
LPs...
As for Mr. Combs: Me and a bunch of people waited outside a local
radio station for over an hour for Puffy to show up, autograph books
in hand. The sumbitch finally arrived and hauled ass into the building
with nary a wave to the fans. Jerk. But I still love his "Godzilla"
version of Zep's "Kashmir".

And the pesants rejoice!!! I wonder what kind of tripe will be released to
replace it. My KINGDOM for another Star Wars Christmas - at least there was
some TALENT on that album. Somewhere. Probably.

Eeewie, don't get me started. I thought Kashmir by Puffy was a total
abortion. It made me want to tear my ears off and send them to P. "What's my
alias this week" Diddy, but he'd probably take that as a compliment. If he
had any respect for the classics, he'd leave them alone! We all have our
opinions, of course! :) However, if you'd defended Spears, I would have
hopped on a plane and come out to harrangue you in person. You narrowly
missed that fate - a Harranguing by Becky is worse than death! ;)

Wanna hear something funny Becky? Well it's on the internet if you know where
to look, but evidently about a year, maybe a year and half ago Britney Spears
played the Rock in Rio Festival in Brazil and was booed off the stage half way
through her second song. The Festival's line up that night, and I am not
kidding was, Oasis, Guns n' Roses(new version), Britney Spears, Neil Young
and Crazy Horse. I don't know why they sandwiched her in that line up, but
evidently over 100,000 hard rock loving Brazlians told her to fuck off.
And last July up in Toronto at the Sars Benefit Justin Timberlake had half
filled water bottles lobbed at his head. There's a revolution happening. I
just hope the next 'thing' involves people actually writting their own music,
playing instruments and not dancing. Fuck everytime I heard NSYNC referred to
as a band I had a hemorrage. You ain't a band unless you play an instrument.
And I always liked the Righteous Brothers, those boys knew how to sing
Bobby will be missed

Jeez, man, you're preaching to the choir. I hate synthetic sound with a
burning, seething passion bordering on spontaneous combustion. I even have a
hard time with someone putting slight reverb on my singing voice to make it
sound 'wetter' or 'fuller', but I understand the necessity sometimes. It
doesn't make it a completely different sound, it just enhances it. There is a
place for technology in music, but not as a substitute for spirit. I think
music should come from the human spirit, not from someone ELSES' human spirit
that you twisted to match your own. It's one thing to COVER a song and stay
true to it, it's quite another to STEAL the sound from someone more talented
than you, crap on it, and sell it. Ca-Ca is still Ca-Ca, even if you put a
bow on it.

Yup. Truly a loss.

Well, the track "R2-D2 We Love You" features a very young Jon Bon Jovi...

REALLY? That's so COOL!!! Thanks, Drew! I had no idea! Hehe. That's like
finding out Russell Crowe played "Eddie" in RHS in Australia before he was
bigtime.
Speaking of STRANGE musical connections with badass movie actors, did anyone
catch the 1998 London version of "Oklahoma" on PBS? They're playing it out
this way in a few days, I think. It features Hugh Jackman. Yes, THAT Hugh
Jackman. Apparently, he was also in something called "The Boy From Oz" on
Broadway this past year. I had no idea he was a musical performer as well as
being furry and pointy and ultra hot. He has a spastic, uncontrolled vibrato
just like I do. I feel much better knowing that. ;) DAMN funny stuff!

I understand sometimes the need to post about someone having died. I think I
even did it once (Bob Hope, someone who was TRULY a legend.)
But sometimes I get on this group and feel like it's a "Death Watch" and almost
never has to do with Rocky. I realize the header says "OT" but at times, the
death posts seem to overwhelm the group.
I'm a bit conflicted about my own feelings here, but is there a tasteful way we
can get away from this constant "So and so died stuff?" I get enough of that
on the news.

I did. I like the Righteous Brothers and felt like discussing it. I find it
a bit ironic that there are so many OT Dead posts too because for some reason
so many great icons have died in the span of 6 months. I'd prefer not seeing
them because that means no one died. But to speak seriously I feel that it's
an open forum here of friends. Everyone has different idols and
screen/TV/music favorites and if anyone's icon dies then they can get some
tribute out. That's my view of the subject. And it is true, I recall around
May, Katherine Hepburn died and from then on week after week almost like clock
work someone else culturally famous would die. weird.
