Music entertainers like Mickey Avalon and Gym Class Heroes make the art of music a shitfest. Eclectic characters posing as true musicians. I’m sure shoving your throat down your throat during a performance is something to be entertained about, but it has nothing to do with musicianship. There’s a fine line between music and entertainment. Even Gnarls Barkley plays it off—plus Cee-Lo and Dangermouse are talented musicians.
As for Virginia Tech, my heart is out for you guys. 32 people. 64 parents. All their friends and loved ones. That’s a whole set of lives changed right there for some deranged idiot who probably caught his girlfriend cheating on him and shot up the engineering building because he wasn’t doing so well. Nothing justifies these actions. He is sick. People are sick. The mainstream media are sick. Nobody is safe.
