Heavy Metal mayhem @ the Tonys - Brett Michaels gets dropped



Spokes reps for the Tonys are already explaining that Brett Michaels missed his mark. Those damned sludgers don't know how to work with pro theater people - they're as bad as movie stars. Now really that sounds a lot like "Don't blame us cause we didn't do it" and a defensive position for a potential law suit. If Michaels' nose is broken it could completely screw up his vocals and end his metal career. With a bent beak and a warped warble the only thing left would be country music! So you see how it could be the basis for a law suit. Personally I think the Tony Awards committee did it - they gotta generate interest in Broadway somehow! I hear they're planning to maim Jeremey Piven at next year's ceremonies!


Then again maybe this sort of hooliganism is just trickling down - Reaganomically - to the mid brow from the high brow. Hopefully by the time it reaches the low brow it will be too diluted to make much difference - just like actual Reaganomics! By then, with most of it's force spent, that upper class aggression will have to find lower class expression in the form of dirty jokes and naughty songs that are peppered with vulgarities!



PS. If you think I'm being facetious - then try thinking of the past 8 years as an example of the trickle down theory of aggression. In fact most wars might be described as cases of upper class aggression infecting the lower classes!


Upper Class = war, social suppression

Middle Class = malice, schadenfreude, competition, 'edgy' movies, heated political debate, cultural subterfuge

Lower Class = vulgar jokes & songs, pseudo violent spectacle ie pro wrestling & FOX News





BTW thanks to everyone who helped make our youtube channel one of the 50 most viewed in Canada for the week!

    Warning to Children

    Children, if you dare to think
    Of the greatness, rareness, muchness
    Fewness of this precious only
    Endless world in which you say
    You live, you think of things like this:
    Blocks of slate enclosing dappled
    Red and green, enclosing tawny
    Yellow nets, enclosing white
    And black acres of dominoes,
    Where a neat brown paper parcel
    Tempts you to untie the string.
    In the parcel a small island,
    On the island a large tree,
    On the tree a husky fruit.
    Strip the husk and pare the rind off:
    In the kernel you will see
    Blocks of slate enclosed by dappled
    Red and green, enclosed by tawny
    Yellow nets, enclosed by white
    And black acres of dominoes,
    Where the same brown paper parcel -
    Children, leave the string alone!
    For who dares undo the parcel
    Finds himself at once inside it,
    On the island, in the fruit,
    Blocks of slate about his head,
    Finds himself enclosed by dappled
    Green and red, enclosed by yellow
    Tawny nets, enclosed by black
    And white acres of dominoes,
    With the same brown paper parcel
    Still untied upon his knee.
    And, if he then should dare to think
    Of the fewness, muchness, rareness,
    Greatness of this endless only
    Precious world in which he says
    he lives - he then unties the string.

    Robert Graves

    George Orwell’s 6 Rules for Effective Writing

    1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

    2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

    3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

    4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

    5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

    6. Break any of these rules sooner than saying anything outright barbarous.
