The Biggest Jerk In Music?

No one single artist could hold back the tide of the arrival of the CD, PC, Internet and MP3. Those all came together and forever changed the face of the music industry. There are too many smart people outside "the box" to ever go back to the glory days of analog and labels controlling everything.

I don't own any Prince albums and never thought he was a megastar, at least not to me.

He was definitely a "megastar" around the time of Purple Rain, then he got "weird" with Around The World In A Day and never truly reached that apex of popularity again, even though I thought those few "weird" post-Purple Rain albums were brilliant, but definitely not albums that those buying Whitney Houston albums by the cases would get. He dropped off from 13 million for Purple Rain in 1984 to 700,000 for Lovesexy in 1988. The bandwagon fans deserted him quickly when they realized he was more about making music for himself than trying to follow Purple Rain.

But IMO If Metallica couldn't "stop the internet", there's no shot in Hell Prince would.

Jerk of the week award goes out to Morrissey from The Smiths:

Morrissey Compares Norway Massacre to Deeds of Fast Food Chains - Music News, Reviews, Interviews and Culture - Music Feeds

Yes, I know about his stance on meat and animal cruelty but did he really have to drag the Norway massacre into this?
Making this comparison makes him a LOT more than just the jerk of the week. Seriously, what a ****ing tool!

That could possibly THE DUMBEST thing I've heard come out of a celebrity's mouth in a very long time.

I can see Morrissey and Chrissie Hynde hanging out chowing down on cheeseburgers when nobody is looking :oyea:

Vegs and animal right activists are making me sick, sometimes I want to eat meat and chicken right in front of their faces and vomit on them.
Seems like a waste of good meat, but I understand what you are saying.

How about this, we take that pencil neck douchebag Morrisey, throw his candyass to the ground and force feed him a few double cheeseburgers from an unsavory fast food joint, and while doing this, make him look at image after image of those kids that were murdered ... ask him if it's really the same thing.


sorry, I'm really not typically up for something like that, but every so often, some ****nut comes along that deserves to get clocked, right in the ****ing mouth. Morrisey just won that honor-of-the-year from me.

I've also heard some really crappy things about Diana Ross. She has a reputation as quite the dragon lady.
