So according to this story, a judge in Ohio fined local douchebag Andrew Vactor for blasting rap music on his car stereo. (I should point out that the article, not me, used the words “rap” and “music” together in one sentence.) Many of you are aware of my sentiments regarding rap, but for those of you who aren’t, let me bring you up to speed. I can’t even stand listening to it long enough to make fun of it. I think it totally sucks and is an insult to actual real MUSIC which requires some actual real TALENT. Let me sum up my feelings about rap by borrowing what Dr. David Thorpe wrote about metal: (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/your-band-sucks/metal.php) :
“I haven’t heard anything, seen anything, read anything or met anyone who could convince me that metal, as a whole, is not artistically bankrupt, direly uncool, and irredeemably fucking dumb. Not most of it. All of it.”
Anyway, this judge gave the defendant a choice: pay a $150 fine or pay a reduced fine of $35 and listen to 20 hours of Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin. Being the douchebag he is, Vactor simply paid the full fine rather than subject himself to actual real MUSIC. . . but I love this judge’s style. Her reasoning was to force Vactor to listen to music he hates, since that is exactly what he forced others to do.
Rap is crap, my friends. Remember. Rap is crap.
Except for Sir Mix a Lot’s Baby Got Back.
Bunny, I love you. You just summed up my feelings about rap crap exactly. The biggest oxymoron I know is rap music. I want to keep a copy of the I-95 song (were you born and a–hole) in my car just to turn it up at stoplights when I hear the crap. God, that just pis*&5565es Me off to &%%^%n4 no 34764fU 48734 end.
I LOVE the I-95 song!!!!!!!!! I’m a full-fledged 80’s headbangin’, big hair (formerly) wearin’, jeans and t-shirt type gal. I LOVE metal, and will til the day I die! I have club box seats to see Metallica in January, and I can’t wait! I know they suck some since the Black album, but I’m going to hear their older stuff.
All right Punky. Was Metallica the band that George Michael was with?
OK, just kidding. I’m from 70’s listened to Led Zepplin.
grateful deeeeeeeeeeeeeeead!!
My kids - teenage boys even - call rap “Retards Attempting Poetry”.
No offense meant to actual retards.
