New laws
There are many unwritten laws by which we must abide.
One of those laws states that anyone of an older generation has to criticise pop music.
I am a firm disbeliever in laws, so I refuse to criticise modern music, even if it is completely lacking in talent, originality or music and is as pleasant to listen to as a pounding headache.
I have noticed a trend in recent years that seems to have become another unwritten law – the fact that the majority of female “singers” have to appear on stage in a state of complete undress. No matter what age the singer is, she has to appear in a state of almost total nudity. I’m not complaining, by the way. just commenting. I can’t help but feel that this ploy is to distract us from the fact that the singer has about as much musical ability as a cow farting. In fact, the law seems to state that the amount of clothing is directly proportional to the level of talent.
Another somewhat newer law seems to apply to male singers. I have seen a few male pop singers interviewed on television, and this is where their law comes into force. Apparently the law states that “upon seating thineself within a studio, thou shalt rest thine ankle upon the knee of the other leg” or words to that effect. This peculiar mode of rest seems to be unique to pop singers. I have never seen an actor, a politician or anyone else do it. It looks rather uncomfortable as it twists the legs into a sort of 7. I’m not sure what the purpose of this strange arrangement of the legs is. Is it a demonstration of how nonchalant they are? Are they trying to convince us that they are completely at ease? Or are they simply acknowledging the fact that they all talk through their arses?
The other night I thought I would try it out. I carefully placed my right ankle on my left knee and sat that way for the evening. I didn’t feel particularly carefree. I didn’t feel particularly casual. In fact it was rather uncomfortable.
And the circulation is only just starting to resume in my right leg.
I think it’s a case of you Europeans trying to act like Americans. It sit like that quite often. It allows me to cross my legs without crunching my ‘cojones’. I like sitting like that while my sunglasses are pushed to the top of my head.
Maybe you were born to be a world famous pop-star? But somewhere along the line you managed to fuck up your destiny?
Maybe I AM a world famous pop star. Either that or I’m the CIA!
It is my observation that males crossing their legs is like some sort of secret message, like a handshake. Why the hell else would anybody sit like that? It’s not natural. I want as much circulation to my malehood as I can get.
Maybe those “singers” are trying to keep their voices in a high pitch, like Wayne Newton’s used to be.
You know people are getting ruder and more disrepectful every day. I was round at somebody’s house last night and when I asked them for an ashtray they did not have one. Honest to God how ignorant not to provide ashtays for your guests who wish to smoke.
tt…just grind out your cig. butt on the dinner plate. You may not be asked back, however.
I ain’t going to be asked back anyhoo.
If I call around to somebody’s house and they don’t provide an ashtray, I just use the floor. They soon take the hint.
What if they don’t provide a W.C?
