I have a future at Rolling Stone!
New rule: If you're going to criticize a song for being shallow and overly-dramatic, you might want to do some research about it first. . . .
From what I gather, the essence of this guy's argument is that the Pearl Jam song "Better Man" is a pompous excuse for Eddie Vedder to pander to women. . . .
Just because something isn't spelled out in a song, it doesn't mean that it's not a part of the whole story.
Actually, come to think of it, this guy has a future with Rolling Stone magazine.
Friendo is referring to an old post making fun of Eddie Vedder, with a record 43 comments, mostly Pearl Jam fans lambasting me and excusing the man's poor songwriting abilities. All my most popular posts are products of vituperation. I tend to barely post at all when I'm feeling happy, well-adjusted, or am getting laid on a regular basis. Thus, expect many more posts in the near future!
Johnny Rotten sez, "Anger is an energy." Between anger and lethargy, "J'accuse!" and "meh," I am drawn like a moth to the light of the former. This is why Bethany never loved me and I assume the Neil Diamond destiny of being a solitary man. This is why I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah. This is why I find beauty without scars revolting. This is why I blog.
