The Return of Scruffy

Anybody got a problem with Hehir allowing every source to talk about Michael, and when they have any tinge of criticism, the director giving the clip to MJ where he gets the last word. Jordan’s the greatest player ever, but can’t handle anyone hitting his legacy.

The only objection I can think of is if maybe she doesn’t keep that clean. But then it’s on him to say something. Otherwise, oral is a pretty basic request.

All you dudes out there that won’t go down on your women should take that first letter as an object lesson.

We used it routinely when I was a kid, but it meant someone who was awkwardly hyperactive.  We definitely weren’t thinking epilepsy or palsy.

Yes I am.  Why don’t you call me more?

I think she meant well. That song is just so fucking stupid, that no one, including Lennon, can pull it off. Kate McKinnon told a story about Gadot on some talk show or other that seems to lend legitimacy to her intent. ......

Quite the comeback.

I love the Beatles, but John was a world-class POS with messianic delusions. George was the best!

There’s just this assumption on their part that we all would just DIE to see them (badly) sing a few notes from the most treacly of songs.  Don’t get me wrong, there are some celebs who I will slavishly follow - I’d watch hours of Tom Hanks talking about typewriters - but those celebs at least have some kind of

True, but what about the video?

We all live in a golden submarine, a golden submarine, a golden submarine.

Look I’m a cynic. I see something and I look for the calculation in it. I’m not fun at parties, and I’m definitely not the audience for this. Because every time I see a celeb do this kind of thing, I don’t see a genuine effort at outreach. I see an effort to maintain a public presence. Because this sort of act costs

That piece is one of my favorites.  For me the key line is about John Lennon’s own hypocrisy, singing a song that preaches anti-materialism, while you have a climate controlled closet for your fur coat collection.  

ITYM “default favorite song of people with no taste.”

It was equally tone-deaf when he sang it. A man with a custom Rolls-Royce and Manhattan penthouse singing “imagine no possessions” and “no need for greed”? Please.

Not to mention that, on top of the tone deafness of it all, it’s a fucking lame song.

“Imagine” was stupid when John Lennon sang it too, though...

Well, to be fair...a cover of “Helter Skelter” would have been more appropriate.

Because out-of-touch people are mildly annoying when your life is fine. They are deeply obnoxious when your life is scary and you feel powerless. 

The fact that they picked (imho) one of the worst songs ever doesn’t help things much either....
