WHAT AM I SUPPOSED to do about a 78-year-old pop singer dying? Open a vein? Tear my hair out and theatrically pose about the terrible injustice of a woman who lived a long and full life dying of cancer, not something at all uncommon among people in our age cohort?
What did you do to prevent it? If she hadn't fled that homicidal a-hole you hold up as a hero, she'd have died a lot younger.
You don't see me posing and posturing over Jimmie Noone dying when he was 48, do you?

ReplyDeleteNo, you monstrous insensitive piece of shit schmuck -- you're supposed to acknowledge that the life and work of a great artist, who is in every way your superior in talent, and who vastly contributed to the sum total of human happiness (and will continue to do so long after either of us has shuffled off this mortal coil) was someone valuable, rather than cavalierly dismiss her passing because she died at a ripe old age.
Jeebus H. Christ on a piece of burnt challah toast, but you're a miserable simulacrum of a human being.
So, you're telling me I should chew the scenery and gesticulate like a cheesy ham actor striking a pose, giving a corny speech or singing a torch song.
DeleteNo, thanks, Stevie, I don't see how that would honor the recently dead. Unlike you, I don't figure it's all about me.
Actually, you monstrous amoral schmuck idiot, you figure it's ALL about you.
DeleteYOU ARE THE ONE WHO ATTACKED ME ON IT BEFORE I'D EVEN HEARD THAT SHE'D DIED, YOU taking the opportunity to make it all about you and your melodramatic attention grabbing. I couldn't possibly care less about it. I didn't pose and posture over McCoy Tyner dying last year, I didn't mention it and, believe me, binks, I think he's a far, far, far more significant artist than all of the girl group pop singers laid end to endless end.

ReplyDeleteAnd yet you didn't mourn his death in public either.
Thus proving my point, you amoral insensivitive anti-artistic schmuck.
Unlike you I don't pose as a professional mourner to get attention for myself. She passed over at the age of 78, she's lucky she didn't end up a casualty of Phil's drugged up rage at a far younger age, I'm glad she ran away from him, there, that's worth celebrating as an example to other women who were victimized by the mentality that pop music fosters.
DeleteMcCoy Tyner on his worst day was scores of times the artist that she was. That's a simple fact.
