hey all.
lets get this off my chest, and outta my brain before my head explodes!
today's rant subject...Whitney Houston!
Now, im not saying she wasnt a great icon of pop music in the late 80s and early 90's. i wont take that away from her. BUT.... She's not the same kind of artist as, say Elvis, or Michael Jackson. it gets me that most of the nation is "mourning" this wanna be Tina Turner 2.0!
Whitney wasnt perfect, by any means. she was constantly fueled up on drugs and alcohol, she was married to a very abusive, hotheaded man, AND she was constantly battling with rehab, and leaving said abuser. she hasnt attempted a decent comeback up until a few months ago, and even then, she still wasnt fully clean and healthy. to most of the ppl i know, ms. houston had faded away from the limelight years ago, and is still seen as a humoungous blight on the music industry as a whole. i mean, who else could coin the term "hell to the no!" while high on cocaine, painkillers, and booze....shakes head.
and im sick, also, of the news outlets making this dumb bitch's death headline news 24/7 right now. whos doing what, whos moving where, where the ceremony is...FUCK THAT. our militaty and, dare i say it, government should be the headlines right now. our country, and our fighting men and women are way more important, and news worthy, than covering every second of every minute of every hour of every day of ms. houston's funeral. and fuck, i thought it was bad when michael died....
look, see it like this....she was beaten by her man, constantly fucked up on various chemicals, and hasnt done jack, music wise, in almost 20 years. shes dead. let her be dead. i dont need to be reminded every second.
i know it sounds heartless, but hey, its how i see it.
mad love to you all. and special love to tina turner, who proved that she could make something of her self after all that had happened to her. shes more of a woman than whitney houston could and would ever be.
