Reg Strikes Out
In this lovely blurb, Elton John sings the praise of Eminem, and places him on par with folks like Hendrix and Jagger. This may be an idication of several things:
1. EJ is a giant idiot who has become even more irrelevant than when he was at the peak of his popularity (in which he was famous as the dandy pop answer to Liberace for showmanship, but irrelevant musically. Now he just as loud as Liberace's wardrobe as being worn by an old battered queen, and even more musically irrelevant)
2. He is a succubus for attention, and is willing to say ever more asinine things to keep the attention on him and gives him the apprearance of knowing about anything contemporary or interesting (and while Eminem may be the former, arguing the latter is a bit more difficult)
3. He is a succubus for attention , and realizes that now that he has sold what little credibility he had to Disney movies and musical sat Las Vegas, that he is a harlot for anyone "edgy" that he can try to orbit near. I am waiting for when he makes a public request to sing background vocals for Burzum or Cannibal Corpse.
4. Is in a state of Michael Jackson-style surreality, and does not realize how much of a complete buffon and social curio piece he has become.
5. All of the above.
In more interesting news, what happens when media moves from device to device with a fluidity that makes measurement a major obstacle?
