I have to agree with that statement 100%. Good musicians are an arrogant group. Singers, particularly real tenors, are particularly arrogant. I think one reason for this is that singers are born, not made. One either has the underlying talent or doesn't. Of course, one can train and better that gift, but as the saying goes, "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." Intrumentalists have to work at perfecting their art. Vocalists not nearly so much.
Who knows exactly why Simon and Garfunkel broke up? There are certainly two sides to that story, but we will likely never know the whole truth.

It's probably best to just enjoy the music and not peek behind the curtain. Still, I was curious as to what the conflict was...or what someone else thought it was. I won't ask anything weightier, such as why Elizabeth Taylor married Richard Burton twice.

Some will perhaps recall my mentioning that one of the big reasons I did not go into the music industry was the horrible morals which permeated the business. What is coming out about this character is nothing new. From the little I have read about this, I doubt that what this guy is being accused of is so different from what was going on in past decades. Should I say past millennia? Read the Old Testament. Technology just seems to make it easier for these pervs to record these degeneracy and blackmail others with videos of it. It would be hard to blackmail someone with an oil painting of an orgy, but a time-stamped color video with actual writhing bodies and faces is something else. Puff about to go poof |

It is to my credit that I had never heard of Sean "Diddy" Combs, disgraced or otherwise. Nor had I ever heard of a "freak off" session, although I would assume it would involve heavy drugs at the least.
There is hilarity in the picture that paints.
What politician wouldn't want to attend such a show since most of them are whores and prostitutes themselves of one type or another?
In other words, "It's not my fault."
There once was a flake named Diddy
Who did naughty things in the City
With cameras and hoes
He sure put on a show
It wasn't his fault, 'tis a pity.

You are lucky. I only heard of him because he was supposed to be this fantastically successful "artist" who was even better at being a businessman. Some time back he had a deal with Adidas(?) and was rumored to be a billionaire. I couldn't understand how such a thing could happen, but what do I know?
By the way, just the thought of so much baby oil makes me a little ill. The stuff has a very strong smell and a bunch of bodies covered with it would be overpowering. Yuck.

Have you ever seen The Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino? If not, see if you can find that. If ever there was a company run in the background by Satan, Adidas is it. That could explain why they give so much money to punks. Same with Nike. These are not good people. |

I saw it some years ago. Pacino was excellent. I have always thought him a better actor than De Niro.
I think the film was a good indictment of the legal profession. By the way, that wall art behind him in his office is creepy.  |
