Choose and Choose Well

Jan 06, 2009 11:05

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Americans have piss poor taste in music. They also dress like it’s 1999 and eat Crisco for breakfast, but I bear them no ill will for any of this. As a better man than I once said, “they know not what they do”. I think that’s what he said, anyway. You’ll have to forgive me - I don’t come from a country ( Read more... )

Elvis, please!

Man, I have a sinking suspicion that I should start googling Cliff Richard right now just to be ahead of the curve.

"eat Crisco for breakfast"

Is this an allusion to the fact that we tend to be fat, or does it mean something more specific?

For the purposes of this blog, Americans are:

* Fat
* Stupid
* Overbearing
* Tasteless
* Ignorant

For the purposes of this blog, the British are:

* Gay
* Alcoholic
* Pompous
* Repressed
* and have poor dental hygiene

Hope that clears it up for ya.

Well fuck you, I'm gonna put on my hot pink tube top, eat a box of Ho Hos, and fail to find my own country on a world map.

And then floss. ;)

Man, only 16 votes so far. Well you should eventually get to Bruce Springsteen anyway, he's too big a target to pass up.

Madonna is a lame target, but I voted according to how Bart will react. He's already said Peter Gabriel is reserved for Springsteen, and his gripes will most likely be along the lines of "prog is gay, Peter Gabriel is boring." I suspect that one of America's biggest musical icons can only be countered by one of Britain's, specifically The Beatles. Although I'd like to see Springsteen, Elvis, and the Beatles get their due, I'm curious who he's got lined up for Madonna.

Twain, with his Lennon comment, is almost challenging me to respond with The Beatles if Elvis wins.

twain January 7 2009, 12:24:01 UTC

If I were to go on Jeopardy, The Beatles would be my specialist subject. Tread carefully... ;)

So, you'd object to me calling Paul a "cheap stump humper?"
