Le maudit Mo D.

don't hate, relate!

Last night's Geegster show saw me doing one of the best solo songs I've ever done in my 4 years in GGG. It was a TAG LINE SONG with a consistent STRUCTURE! Yay! I would like to record it for Broc-Man's GGG album. It was called:

LAURIE LAURIE

Been mowin' lawns for three or four years
Now I'm watering lawns with my tears
Laurie Laurie
What's your story
Why don't you love me?

Been scanning groceries at HEB
(when oh when are you going to talk to me??)--don't remember what I rhymed with HEB)
(Something about wanting to give you this ring)
But you'd rather be with that other thing
Laurie Laurie
What's your story
Why don't you love me?

Christmas money, birthday checks
Why do you always turn me into a wreck?
Laurie Laurie
What's your story?
Why don't you love me?

I don't think the show got taped (it was JEWELRY STORE: THE MUSICAL with a snooty jewelry store, white trash diamond miners and a high school love triangle, and yes, Shana and I smooched again, successfully. Someone donate to the Smith Fund, quick!), which means that the original lyrics are lost to the ages.

In other news: I am saddened by the current American folly of mocking Britney Spears.

Granted, I have never been a fan of hers, but it just makes me sad that a woman who is obviously in crisis and in need of some serious mental health intervention is the current punching bag of the American people. Lard-ass Americans who go around calling her "fat" just because she no longer has the same abs she had as a teenager are hypocrites. It is impossible for a woman who birthed two babies in a single calendar year (sheesh!) to achieve that kind of body ever again. Yes, hers was a poor wardrobe choice (she is rumored to have insisted on the bikini get-up over a more modest corset), but wow! What does it say about society when all they can do is diss on a clinically depressed nearly-has-been entertainer? Wow.

Think about how loser-populated this society is. Every day some saggy sack of shit cockblocks a parking spot, doesn't wear deodorant, gets fired from their job at Blockbuster Video, and sits in front of the TV downing Cheetos and Coke. Yet none of us really thinks of ourselves as losers, do we? At any moment, your supposed slide from greatness could happen. Thank god you're not famous, because then your descent into the pits of loserdom would be splashed all over the media. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I guess that's the price they pay, but it seems like we crap on our female entertainers the hardest and for the least amount of supposed wrongdoing Example: Jennifer Aniston. Her punishment for being the bitch who got to marry Brad Pitt was to have her marriage/fertility/fidelity/sanity/career speculated upon at every turn. When they broke up, it was her fault for not being supportive/pretty/baby-making/enticing enough for Brad.

On another level: Everyday American Moms. How quickly we are as a society and as individuals to offer unsolicited childrearing advice or denounce a woman's choices and motivations in regards to her job as a mother. How dare a mother try to work outside the home/pursue hobbies/not spend every moment catering to her child! Dads, on the other hand, can do pretty much whatever they want and are treated like saints for changing a diaper on their own.

Also, people tend to forget that child stars like Britney have never handled their own affairs and have answered to a swarm of handlers and support staff their whole careers. Britney has probably not had a lick of privacy in the last decade yet is probably financially supporting her entire family as well as a team of employees. She clearly has some sort of post-partum depression going on. She made some bad decisions (marrying a white-trash Fresnan for starters) but haven't we all?
