I wouldn't say ripping off other songs.. When they do their covers or
remixes or sampling or adaptating, they don't destroy the original work. The
original song is still out there, so it doesn't matter if you like the
remake or not, other people might, so don't be complaining about it. I don't
see anyone complaining when someone does a cover of a U2 song, or mixes it.
U2 even does covers, so what, I personally thought U2's version of fortunate
son flat out stunk compared to CCR's version, but I don't bother making a
big deal out of it, because the original still exists, where I can listen to
it instead. Mariah Carey is one of the greatest singers of all time, Will
Smith is pretty good and slightly original in his own right, and Puff Daddy,
well.... He's kind of a celebrity by accident. I like his covers and mixes
alot better than I do his music. His more of a producer getting the credit
than anythingelse, and I will say that time and again.
Gabriel Rios
Agreed here.
Besides the original people have to ALLOW the others to remix/remake their
songs, so they have their blessings, so to speak.
On a different point.
I'd slap Celine Dion.
Besides her smooshed in face, I don't like her singing. *ugh*
Sorry I can't be more descriptive. hehe

Yep I agree, he is embarrassing... Very.
Then again, remember Yahoo Serious?:P
Not to mention that because of the exposure he gave to my old stomping
grounds (The Territory), hoards of tourists arrived which inevitably
fucked everything. Grr...
Its amazing how much he has changed as a person - for those old enough
to remember the 70's at least... :)

LOL!!!!!!!! That guy is cool. But I don't know about this alligator guy, the
guy is pretty stupid, you ever watch his show? He is HILARIOUSLY stupid!!!!
He goes up to an alligator, it takes a bite on his hand, and then he says
enthusiasticly, "Luckily, it wasn't a big ole Crocidile, and luckily she
didn't swing my hand around and take it right off!" Then the guy climbs into
a little dog house type thing looking for an alligator, and he gets himself
stuck in it head first, and the alligator is behind him. And then he's
talking about it while he's in there, and he's so enthusiastic about
everything, it makes it funny as hell. And everytime he almost gets himself
killed or almost in a disaster, he starts out with.... "Luckily!........"
and then goes on talking about it.

same person as you mean!
Mr. Legend
> same person as you mean!

His place is not far from here (in QLD) at least his wife is a little
more level headed...
Crikey is like... wow, shit! or fuck, etc...

Okay, thanks. There is another australian person I think is kinda cool. You
follow basketball at all? Is a guy named Kirk Penney popular over there at
all? Or was he at all? He plays for my state College Basketball team.
Wisconsin Badgers.

determined to rip him to bits! And he's going 'Whhhhhooooahhhhh look at it.
Its a frisky little bugger and boy is it in a cranky mood today!!' Mad as
fuck!!!!

Yeah that guy!!!!!!
He's on one of those beer commercials or something too. He gets bit by a
snake and falls over before he can finish his sentence about snake poison. I
can't tell whether he's stupid or not.

Well, for me, it's like this: I'm thinking..... this guy is pretty stupid!
and it's funny too, but up to some point, where I think about whether this
guy knows he's stupid or not, or knows whether he's funny or not, and then I
kinda die down on the laughter.
Odd fellow indeed.
