So i still haven't summoned the will-power to blog regularly (or blog at all i should say) but between work and watching Criminal Minds, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, 90210, Hawaii 5O, i just can't seem to find the time. I figured that the least i could do is randomly post anything i find on the World Wide Web that catches my eye. Consider this food for thought,Sorry to let the air out of your tyres, but Bob Dylan’s real name was Robert Zimmerman. Alice Cooper is not a satanist, but a golf-loving, Republican-voting, born-again Christian named Vincent Furnier. Furthermore, The Ramones were not really brothers, and Lady Gaga is a conservatorium-trained Italian-American girl brought up on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, not a hermaphrodite alien who dropped to earth in an egg.(Barry Divola, SMH)
This statement caught my attention. It reminds me that pop icons are essentially 'normal' people, remembering this simple fact keeps me sane and reduces my facination.
