I read this article and immediately related to it. And here is the why I can relate to it.
Years ago, I had the complete collection of John Denver. Call me names, I don’t give a damn. Anyway, I heard my favorite artist tell a talkshow host that he was inspired to write Rocky Mountain High due to his realization that his existence had chosen his parents on earth as his “spirit” was traveling through the universe and HE CHOSE to come here…to earth.
WHAT??????
After I got over the shock and thereafter got over the urge to wet myself from the incredulous laughter and the cycle of denial, I collected ALL renditions of his recordings and sheet music. I then proceeded to take them out to the garage and commenced to shattering, shredding and ultimately destroying any evidence that I had once admired the loon. I never ever once after that and since then picked up a guitar and plucked away to anything remotely associated with John Denver.
My Dad came out into the garage after a while and asked what I was doing. I told him. He said that it was about time that I got my head up out of the back of my front, as it were.
As for Mellencamp, I figured that flake out long ago. I don’t listen to the musical artists these days. Most of them are fruitloops to one degree or another.
Here is the article and a smidgeon of reality and intellect and written in language I can understand:
“…There’s wisdom in this. In the future, I’m going to be a lot more reluctant to financially support artists who likely consider me a neocon warmonger. Given how annoying Mellencamp’s ubiquitous Chevy commercial is, not purchasing Mellencamp’s new album will probably be a painless first step…”
I agree. I am HAPPY to be called a neocon warmonger. It is better to be a neocon warmonger than a socialist pacifistic cowardly liberal.
