Post Number Two: Old Geezers And Upstarts


Hey. Hazim here. Did u ever wonder why old geezers like Madonna and the Rolling Stones still sing even though it takes a lot of synthesizers and technology to hide the fact that they're aging? The answer's the same with every one of them-they need to pay their bills. True of False? U Decide.
I mean, if I went to a rolling stones concert back then, there would have been beer cans all over the floor but now, there'd be used viagra and granny panties. Times have changed, right? hahaha.

Did u know Madonna's making "non-alcoholic wine"? What do u call it then? Oh wait, I know...grape juice! There's no such thing as wine without the freakin' alcohol! Does she feel as righteous singing religious songs now as a mother as when she belted out Like A Virgin back then?

After selling millions of records, getting a truck load of awards, offending rabbis and smooching Britney, what's next? That's right-make wine! I'm not dissing her. I'm merely pointing out the fact that some people should quit while they're ahead. Like JayZ. He made his exit a big bang of a deal, but lately it's been "Kanye West feat. JayZ" or "TI feat. JayZ" That's not a bad thing, it's just a perfect way to cash in on your status. It's human.

Here's an interesting quote.
YOUNG PEOPLE WANT TO BE OLDER. OLD PEOPLE WANT TO BE YOUNGER. BUT ONCE THEY GET THERE, THEY WANT TO GO BACK

Lemme know whatchu guys think of it. I think it's true. I mean, people like Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan wanting to get work done on them. I dunno. Maybe when I'm older, I'll get a nose job and a sex change. kidding. Lindsay Lohan, no matter how slutty she seems has got a lot of potential to be a great actress. I really do believe that. Hilary Duff hasn't got enough talent to fill a teaspoon. everything with her is a scripted answer and a "hello-i'm-smiling-because-moms-endorse-me-and-little-girls-adore-me-and-it's-earning-me-a-million-bucks" attitude. The number of good movies by Hilary's the same number of records Nick Carter sold on his solo CD-0. Zilch. None. Or in Malay, kosong.
Young people want to act older, and old people are jealous. So there's the great divide between them.

On a different note, I wanna point out that a lot of European artists never make it big in US when they deserve it. I know Dido, Natasha Bedingfield, Franz Ferdinand, and others made it, but some really cool acts are still waiting. For instance, Sugababes. I'm not a big fan of girl groups, but their brand of r&b pop hybrid is kinda catchy and cool. I also think Sigur Ros, Madness, The Coral, and Jamie Lidell are cool. I mean, no wonder the popularity of radio is declining. How many times a day do u hear "Don't Cha" "Since U Been Gone" and "Yeah"?
