| Remember
when you were a kid and your parents would yell at you for doing some stupid
thing only kids can do, it felt right didn't it? I mean not that it felt
good, nobody likes to get yelled at whether they are guilty or not. What
I mean is, as a kid this was part of the relationship with your parents.
It's the accepted natural order of things. Sometimes they have to yell at
you and sometimes they give you candy. But do you ever remember someone
other than your immediate family yelling at you or telling you what to do?
Like your neighbour or one of your parents co-workers. It was kind of weird
feeling wasn't it? It almost makes you angry. You think to yourself, who
the hell do you think you are? You can't tell me what to do?! You're not
either one of my parents. Do you know the feeling I'm talking about? Well
I feel that way about Madonna right now.
Well at this moment,
Madonna (yes, that Madonna) is pissing me off right now. She is just another
celebrity in that long line of celebrities that should just shut the hell
up. Before I start rambling on maybe I should enlighten you to the quote
that is grinding my gears at the moment.
"We as Americans are completely obsessed and wrapped up in a lot
of the wrong values looking good, having cash in the bank, being perceived
as rich, famous and successful or just being famous. It's the most superficial
part of the American dream and who would know better than me? The only
thing that's going to bring you happiness is love and how you treat your
fellow man and having compassion for one another."
I'm not so angry about the statement, what makes me more angry is who
the hell does she think she is?! I hate it when celebrities pull this
holier than thou bullshit. Where the hell does she get off slandering
an entire country? An entire country?! It's pretty easy to take pot shots
at people who yearn for money and fame when you already have it yourself.
It's even easier when you don't live in the country your criticizing anymore.
But still, the big question remains
Who the hell do you think you
are?! You're an extremely successful pop singer and pretty horrible movie
actress, but at what point did you become this worldly philosopher who
feels that the world needs to hear your blessed words? Do me a favour
sweetheart, just stick to the singing thing. You seem to be pretty good
at it. The last thing I need is the authour of "SEX" and the
singer of "Like A Virgin" giving me advice on how I should live
my life.
It's Madonna at the moment, but soon it will be somebody else. It always
bugs when me actors and musicians get so swept up on their own fame and
fortune they feel like they're delivering the sermon on the mount every
time they open their mouths. Bunch of swell headed bastards! Just stick
to your acting or music or pony riding, whatever the hell you do well
and keep your thoughts to yourselves or I might go over the "Borderline."
Ha! Ha! Ha! Get it? Borderline was a big hit for Madonna song back in
'84. So I was referencing the song
.ahhh never mind
