Now I
know you may well be turning your browser back over to some dodgy site you were
previously viewing, but hear me out here will ye?
Cast
your mind’s back to good few years ago when this fresh-faced young rapscallion
turned up with a face that made pretty much every teenager around the world
piss their panties in sheer excitement and sold out concert stadiums in
seconds! He was the new face of an age old tradition of young, good looking
boys in the pop business who were cleaner than George Osborne’s double ender!
In other words - he basically (apart from his music, of course) could not do
anything wrong!
Until
now...
Breaking
News – Bieber has turned into a man! Not just any ordinary man, but a rowdy,
drinking, drug-fuelled, late on stage every night, couldn’t give a flying fuck
man!
It has
even got to the stage where he has dangled more than a Jacko-style baby off the
balcony of his hotel and grebbed on his own fans! Shocking behaviour, I’m sure
you’ll agree
Now,
I’m not saying that spitting on your own fans, drinking under age (which of
course none of us have done … ahem!), taking drugs (ahem) and being a general
bell end is alright, but you have to remember one thing here and one thing only
– when was the last time you seen a pop/rock star acting like a rock star? We
have been crying out for it since at least the 90’s when we had a good handful
of them on the Britpop scene in Britain
The
world is currently full with pathetic, smiling, cringe-worthy pop stars who are
hell bent on conforming with their sponsors every need to endorse products that
they get paid more for instead of the money they receive from their music!
The
image of your average modern day pop star is so squeaky clean the majority of
them would almost certainly be allowed to meet (or have sex with) royalty, American
presidents and other distinguished dignitaries the world over!
I know
I’ve banged on about this before, but compare this lovely bunch of Cherubs to
the bunch of sex-craved, drug-fuelled louts you associated with the late 70’s
such as The Sex Pistols, The Stranglers or even Fleetwood Mac and there is
simply no contest! If by some bizarre and surreal circumstances their paths mat
at the height of their fame, they would drink them under the table after 5
minutes, skin them alive and do more than flush their heads down the bog just
for a laugh!!
Musicians
back then cared about 2 things – music & excess! The money came last behind
their reputations and of course what people thought of them!! In other words –
they were human beings who weren’t separated from the real world and knew how
to enjoy themselves while not giving a shit what people thought of them!
Compare that attitude towards the lifestyle of a musician today and there is a
world of difference!
So,
next time you look at the antics of Justin Beiber and you think what a horrid
little shit he really, think yes, but remember, the things he gets up to are a
lot more entertaining than most of the boring bastards you see prancing around on
stage these days who are too scared to say “shit” in case any of their sponsors
get offended and pull the plug on their lucrative six figure endorsements!
The
only bad thing to come out of this though is that it’s just a pity it had to be
Beiber who was acting rock n roll and not someone more worthy!
