Crap Crap Crappin' On Dylan's Award

"Ladies and gentlemen, I should have known better. It is MY fault. I should have known better than to sell ROSES in a FISH MARKET!" 

Or, to check out my Farcebook friends and a) see what moronic drivel they're posting and b) the even MORE idiotic shit THEIR friends posted in response. 

Any time I glance at Social Media I tend to reach for the Murine, because it's such an eyesore. Somebody I know posted, aside from his personal trivia, the news that Dylan won the Nobel. I mean, he had to post this like nobody would know otherwise. 

He also had to put his seal of approval on it. "Good for Bob!" or whatever un-pithy statement he made. This was followed by equally lame idiots who just HAD to leave a comment, even if it wasn't worth reading. 

"Oh, love Bob," "Great news!" "Bob is the best!" That kind of crap.  Plus MEMEs and dopey looking tattoo-like avatars. Then I noticed one particular jerk...

BUT CHUCK BERRY WAS THE VERY FIRST GREAT POET OF ROCK AND ROLL.

Oh. Another sour, stupid sewer-dweller heard from. 

What is with morons like this? What's this "Debbie Downer" attitude of having to crap-crap-crap on somebody who did something or won something? 

What the FUCK is wrong with congratulating Dylan or, better yet, just shutting the fuck up? Why post at all if all you can say is "Most definitely; well deserved." OR...a put-down? 

Right, right, we need Alice Twat's seal of approval on this, some nobody know-nothing cunt on Farcebook with no credentials. But as long as SHE says "Most definitely; well deserved," then we can all sleep better tonight. It's a good thing Dylan getting the Nobel Prize was approved of by Alice Twat. 

As for Kanye Pest, well Jeeezus Weezus, what's THAT about? Actually, despite my choice of fake name for this monkey, he actually isn't a sour, sullen "Black People Matter" asshole. He's just a typical white Liberal Eurotrash jerk from Switzerland or Holland or some other useless place. 

He figures if he mentions THE BLACK MAN, that shows he's really hip to American music. Go ahead, display your fucking ignorance, like millions of other "experts" on rock music, who might even have a BLOG. 

You and I know, there's actually NO definition of what's rock, and what the first rock song was. Was it Bill Haley? Was it Louis Jordan? Was it some blues guy in New Orleans? Was it Big Maybelle? There's also no definition of what a "poet" is, and if a lyricist IS a poet. Billy Joel once told me, "I won't call myself a poet." Keith Reid's credit was simply "words," going back to the humble "words and music" credits of Tin Pan Alley greats. 

But here's a Nazi putz who has to crap on the Jew, and point out that Fuck Berry, author of less than a dozen decent songs, almost none of them particularly poetic, got there before Dylan. He's followed by a moron who has to post an ugly avatar.  KEWL. 

I remember Ringo Starr turning up on a talk show, and taking questions from the audience. A big fat smug black woman stood up and said, "Isn't it true that The Beatles were influenced by BLACK music?" Ringo said, "That's very true, madame." And left it at that. Let mammy be happy with this, even  though the number of people who listen to Beatles music is a zillion times more than those who listen to Chuck Berry. PS, a redneck could've stood up and said, "Ain't it true The Beatles were influenced by Southern white guys like Carl Perkins?" 

What IS this thing we call "human nature," where so many people have to be negative, have to call attention to themselves, have to find fault, and need to turn a nice moment into a nag? Dylan gets the Nobel Prize and some fuckhead thinks it should've gone to Chuck Berry? He's busy pissing on a waitress somewhere.
