Female Rock Stars Flaunt Our Stupidity

 
They're all full of shit! Female rock stars, that is. This morning I woke up feeling crotchety, and as I brushed my teeth I began thinking about this.

I had just been reading about Lady Gaga before I went to bed. I saw her on the MTV Video Awards and thought she had the most cornball act I had ever seen, like a female Marilyn Manson (where is he now?). However I was stunned to find some clips on You Tube that showed Stefani Germanotta was once a really attractive girl who was a good piano player and great singer. I guess she figured out that talent didn't mean shit but whatever was under those gowns could get her places, and she began singing in her underwear. This realization is why most perfectly talented singers are never heard of while others are Lady Gaga. Thank you for exposing that the public doesn't recognize talent but it does recognize a great ass, Stefani.

Next I thought about Pink. I watched a Pink video on the Internet yesterday where she makes the point that girls shouldn't feel ashamed of their figures just because they constantly see skinny girls in the media. Pink makes this point while parading around in her underwear, showing off that she has zero body fat. Why not do a PSA about healthy eating where you consume a box of Krispy Kremes? It would make as much sense. Pink also feels that girls shouldn't feel pressured to get implants and have big breasts. Pink's own breasts aren't huge but it's amply clear they're ample, because she's even topless in the video. I just love the "skinny pretty girl who thinks she's fat and ugly" angle. Janine Garofalo invented that shtick back in the `80's.

Finally, you know Katy Perry of "I Kissed a Girl" fame (above)? Less than five years ago she was a Christian singer. Yes, it's true, Katy Perry was Katy Hudson (her real name), singing for the Lord. Even lately as I've watched her on Palladia in her push-up bra and hot pants I noticed she had a big cross on her guitar strap. I just love how people throw their faith in the Almighty into the street the second it interferes with their worldly goals. "What makes you think just because she's a Christian she can't dress sexy and sing sexy songs?," you ask. Oh, give me a break! You must go to one of those mega churches with a gay minister and a choir conductor who looks like Nikki Sixx. Real church has never embraced gay ministers, Nikki Sixx or naughty ladies like Katy Perry. Anyhow, I'm glad Katy decided to be a Jezebel and show off her assets.

Well I'm glad I got that out of my system.

Indeed, I remind myself of Mr. Burns on The Simpsons when he claimed Tallulah Bankhead had more sex appeal with one raised eyebrow than a gaggle of naked modern starlets. Well if it's true it's true! And now I'll go get my liniment rub.
