I’ve been thinking a lot about David Bowie just lately which is strange because he’s been fairly quiet. The other night I dreamt I was a gnome in his Ashes to ashes video, on the beach and a lot colder than I remember when I first saw it. Why am I choosing to mention David Bowie now? Because it’s my blog and I do what I want on here buster, right. In fact I wouldn’t be suprised if right now David Bowie was in a laundromat in Bromsgove talking about me. OK , I lied.
Whenever I turn on my flip camera and start to partake in my new fave hobby, You Tube blabbering there’s so many times I drift in to Bowie territory. It makes me realize what a huge impact working with someone like that made on me and what a massive amount I learned. He has an ability to teach you things without even trying, he inspires merely by presence. He remains the consummate star and I think now is the time for someone to open The Star Academy with the sublime DB as it’s patron.
Until then we are a nation, or several nations obsessed with ‘fake celebrity.’ False idols, impersonators, pretenders and prats. Celebrities aren’t stars anymore. Stars are stars and celebrities are well, celeb bitties, part actors,bits of celery. They’re becoming a nuisance and you people out there need to stop being fascinated by them because frankly your starting to piss me off . If nobody watched them then there would be no demand and without demand we wouldn’t have the shit that was on the TV. One day it will reach fever point and one of them will be assassinated. I may even be that assassin.
Now it’s a while since I ranted on here. Well maybe not but who cares. Why pray, are we attracted to losers? And don’t give me that bollocks, ‘it’s about the underdogs.’ Bullshit, underdogs and dogs are two completely different dogs. They shit and they walk and the sooner they walk the sooner we’ll be rid of this shit. Everywhere you look nowadays there’s more and more gonzo TV. Hunter S Thompson pioneered the phrase ‘gonzo journalism,’ my ditty is ‘gonzo TV.’ Inane for the insane, if you’re mad enough to watch it your mad enough to deserve it. Is this what TV producers think people want to watch? Clearly they’re right and I’m wrong. If I made TV shows I wouldn’t want to put my name to one of these, where’s their sense of any pride, don’t they want to show people what they are capable of rather than lowest common denominator television? I suppose, and in their defense it’s about not having the money to make decent TV anymore.
Why if you had talent would you want to work with talentless toss pots who either have tits or buy them? And if it’s the latter it gets turned in to a series about implants, who has them, why they have them, how they are made and look at what they came out like. I’m not against tits, I think they’re excellent but there’s a time and a place for them. And it’s not on the TV and especially if they’re not yours.
