Hey Julian, don't make it...stupid

One thing morons LURV, is when their has-been fave posts and posts on FARCEBOOK.

Not only posts, but even RESPONDS.

Julian seems to have no life. Or, not enough. He seems to spend at least an hour a day on FARCEBOOK, posting spiritual hippie-dippie MEMES and shit that Gibran and McKuen might roll their eyes about.

Sometimes, to give him credit, he posts one of those oh-so-caring reports on the environment, or some rule to live by that actually doesn't involve candles, incense or granola.

But still. Why bother posting so much? He's doing a lot more than needed. Or does he think that if he doesn't keep entertaining people, he'll lose "friends?"

Really, if you put out an album once every three or four years, it makes little sense posting every day, whetting the fans' appetite for that new CD. You know, the one that might not even get a USA release, and may be on an obscure label, and is like the last one "but not as good." The one most fans will download free and then say "oh, it's your best yet. Keep up the good work." UGH.

Julian also does the provocateur shit; throw out a topic and in essence, tell the fans, "discuss it!" Then step back and glance at the 100's of responses and think, "I'm still popular, look at all the shit I've stirred." PATH-ET-ICK.

So he mentioned that awful-awful superstar Roachella show.

He said he was gonna show up to take photos. (Oh, and you're pulling a Linda McCartney now, are you?)

A whole lotta "FANS" knee-jerked "Why not get up on stage with PAUL" and "This is a great chance for you to pay PAUL back for writing "Hey Jude."

There were dozens of those. So Julian responded, "It ain't gonna happen! Just there to observe." Or something like that.

Did that stop the AVANLANCHE? Nope.

A brief sample from the literally HUNDREDS of "it would be great to see you on stage" comments:

Don't ever underestimate the stupidity of fans.

You'd think the guy would know it by now. Maybe this was a reminder. Perhaps he's developed a thick skin to it, and figures it's a trade-off: endure it and still have SOME kind of audience for all those nasal, maudlin ballads with that Pepper flavor. Have you noticed how many of his songs seem to start off like they're going to be "Strawberry Fields?" Or "picture yourself in a boat by a river..." Minor key. Sad. Just not as good as Pop. And not really pop.

I think we've all had a fleeting notion of what it would be like: Zak on drums. Julian. Dhani on lead guitar. Macca's overweight fat slob son on bass. But we have the good sense not to actually make that a public wish and risk seeming MORONIC.

"Hey, I just thought I'd mention it because I'm a FAN. It could happen. It might be good. JUST SAYIN'"

You've noticed that the tag line for any obtuse and oafish remark is "Just Sayin'"

FANS don't seem to understand basic things like: maybe MACCA is an egomaniac who wouldn't want Julian on stage. Maybe Julian has too much pride for this stupid shit, and turned down previous offers. And that goes for all that "Julian and Sean should duet" shit. It was probably enough of a stretch to bother showing up for any TV tribute to The Beatles or John. I think he did one that Yoko produced, just to be a good sport. But he sang solo. And Sean sang solo. And so did Yoko.

Well, that's your lot, "Jules."

Remind me not to surf FARCEBOOK too often, and do the "whatever became of" bit.
