me: btw why are you upset about adam duritz and his new girlfriend?
daniel: no i'm not upset! i'm not in love with him, i AM very proud of his little list tho. good for him!
he does not, i repeat, does not look like a pineapple
me: he looks a little bit like a pineapple
daniel: this is exactly what i love about our culture, btw. he's not good looking so they can't figure out why anyone would date him. in other words- according to entertainment "journalism"- if you aren't pretty you have no value as a person whatsoever
especially since pretty is a trait that lasts forever. it certainlty doesn't fade at all. god forbid you have a personality or can tell a joke or anything. i guess being the most gifted lyricist of a generation doesn't come close to making teenagers cream their panties with your smile.
so when everyone bitches about how music sucks now and art in general has lost all of its importance in our society- just remember that what you can do means little compared to the image youre selling. which, as i have said before, is all david bowie's fault.
me: wow...all that because someone on huff po said adam durtiz looked like a piece of fruit?
