I wonder if any lesbians have ever had a commitment ceremony at a dyke, just for fun.
That's my muse for the day, now for my rant...
Australian Idol and all other shows like it in Australia and otherwise, are the worst thing to ever happen to music! They're killing the art of music and it's an absolute disgrace! Not only are they teaching people how to be carbon copies of other crap 'artists' (I use that inappropriate word very lightly indeed), they teach that this is the way music should be. I don't care how much they say "you have to make that song you're own", that's not what's happening. They're just making those songs their own photocopy of every other photocopy currently stinking up the top 40. Case in point, that little out of time with the music, attitudinal, microphone finger tap done with the middle, ring and little finger for no apparent reason. And all those shit vocal acrobatics, you don't need to do that to make a song emotional. Most of the best bands around at the moment don't do that, nor do they have any formal training, nor are they even great musicians, they just know what they're doing because they care about the art of music. They're not just friggin money-puppets for record companies.
It's like Whitney begat Mariah, Mariah begat Celine, Celine begat blah blah blah and so on until now where there's just far too much begating going on and we need some sort of photocopy population control. A mass cull would be good.
I know calling' Australian Idol' 'Australian Idle' has been done to death, but I think it accurately describes the state of music at the moment, and not just in Australia. At the moment it seems that musicians just keep doing the same thing over and over, and rehashing old sounds that should probably stay in the past. All the art, all the creativity and all the passion have been completely drained by these friggin shows that tell us that their way is the only way music should be - carbon copies of everthing else.
Everyone involved with Australian Idol should be shot in painful places and left to die while listening to their own inane karaoke. Because karaoke's all it really is, no matter how much they try to dress it up as art.
I'm waiting for the next reality show to happen, Australian Premier, where contestants are chosen from each state to run for Premier of that state. It's the Australian version of American Governor. Seriously, what the hell is Arnie doing? Sure, he can speak a bit better that George W. but come on.
Repeat this mantra after me:
The world is fucked,
People are shit,
Eat Chinese food,
Drink bourbon,
And that's about it
Not particularly funny, I know, but it was bothering me. Thank you for reading my frustration, if, in fact, you did read this crap.

Go ahead, ask him a question... or offer him sexual favors, he'd like that...
