STAND BY ME when a MAN LOVES A WOMAN. Death is the DECIDER

Oh, thanks, "DECIDER," yet another pompously-named website. Along with GAWKER and HUFFINGTON and BUZZFEED, this is one of those obnoxious places, run by punks, that chew second hand news and spit it out as if THEY got the scoop.

Ben E. King died. Oooh, another one-shot wonder like Percy Sludge.

Now, make sure not to confuse him with BB King. Think you can name ONE OTHER song Ben E. King ever sang? Of course not. But let the "DECIDER" tell you what's so important about the song.

That's right...it's important because it was used in some shitty "Coming of Age" movie with a bunch of jerky child stars who are now probably all dead from heroin overdoses.

How pathetic is it, that a soul classic is, to a dopey generation of Millenials, only known because of a film full of overfed white brats?

Like every retard in a forum, the best the DECIDER can do about a man dying is a cursory "R.I.P."

In case you never heard the song, or suddenly want to hear it, the DECIDER conveniently shouts out to the chief Nazi websites... Netflix for the movie (ha ha, all the DVD rental places are out of business, and cable TV stations are on their way out, too) and Amazon (gosh, don't forget iTunes). But really, everyone goes to Google's GooTube, where they can hear the song FREEEEEEEEEEEEE.

After all, as Seniormole would be the first to say, "Why this kerfuffle about royalties? King should've been paid a lump sum for singing it, and that's all. Maybe a little percentage for the first year of sales, or first year of radio play, but copyright is copy WRONG, and just because we're all still enjoying the song is no reason why a person should still be getting paid anything for it. Now let me have my cuppa and a nap, and then I'll have more fun listening FREE on Spotify and checking shitty forums like Deja Vu for whatever hillbilly idiots and Lajso the Asshole care to copy and give to me."

Poor Ben E. King (literally). I'm sure in those last years his royalty checks got smaller and smaller. Him and Percy Sludge. "Stand By Me" doesn't apply to fan loyalty. As for "When A Man Loves a Woman," that usually leads to fucking, but when a FAN screws an ARTIST, that's a fuck up the ass that's awfully painful, and the result is just some nasty shit.
