be afraid, be very afraid.

I. Am. Very. Afraid.

How can you be so insensitive? Show some respect for the dead.

As he should be. Poor guy. Is he a junky?

Nah, he's an idiot.

Even worse, then. All the more to be pitied than scorned.

Here's the thing:

In the paper today there was a heartfelt editorial. "Whitney provided the soundtrack to my life."

And I'm like, "That's fucking sad. Vacuous pop from a mediocre talent who had absolutely nothing original to say to the world? That's your soundtrack?"


Unfortunate she died, however she died? Yeah, sure. I guess. But before I weep for her, I'll weep for the death of--let's face it--other people more talented and actually important than that dipshit could ever dream of being.


Lucian Freud died back in July 2011. Remember how everyone was talking about it, how cable news went on and on with endless tributes, how the internet roared with mourning?

Of course not. So I'm tempted to agree that I don't really care about WH's death one way or the other. Maybe that's unfair. Maybe the attention given to her life and death over the life and death of real artists is the fault of our "culture." Whatever. Fuck her, anyway.

Every Whitney's like a setting sun. :'(

Death isn't a contest. My sister buried her husband this week, and it
doesn't make me think of how pathetic it is that the world doesn't stop
and bemoan his passing. It makes me think of finality and sorrow.

Death represents the unknown to me, and I have always respected the
unknown. This is where someone chimes in with, "Uh, we already know
what happens when you die--NOTHING." You'll have to pardon me, I am
an old woman. How old? Old enough to know that I know very little
indeed.

Anyway, blah blah, don't I have a Snoopy shrine to go genuflect in
front of?

It is something all men have done before you, all men will do. Perhaps Ernest Hemingway's wisdom will help you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cMOW...&feature=share

I promise, you fucking saps, death isn't that bad.

Fucking linear apes.

Lets talk more about drugs. Do you reckon she had the good ones or got more kicks by feeling cheap?

I say good...then cheap.

A bet of £48 going no higher will henceforth becomes known as a "Whitney", which is more of an impact than ive had on the world

Wow, do you even know who Whitney Houston is?

You should join up with gmku, he is working on selling 100,000,001 records, when you get 100,000,002 you can criticize Whitney Houston's "talent" or lack there of..

I think you just said sales = talent.

I think.

You did.

Woah.

no, what I said is somebody can't possibly sell 100,000,000 records without having talent, and anyone who thinks whitney houston had no talent is just hatin plain and simple..

her talent speaks for itself

further, she sold so many records because she meant a lot to so many people, and if she wasn't our particular SYG kind of music, we shouldn't just scoff at what we don't understand, she is hardly a one-hit-wonder imitation pop star from The Voice II. People should have more respect than simply to troll around on someone's grave and legacy

She was a good singer. She made some great records. I liked very few of them. So I stay out of this thread, because it would be insincere of me to say anything.

Predictably, someone's trying to be really fucking cool and slagging off someone who's dead for reasons that had almost nothing to do with her. Maybe someone else should've sold that many records. But they didn't. Maybe someone else should be that famous. But they weren't.

All I'm saying is that the quality of asinine and impotent sniping on this forum really needs to up its game. Slagging off Whitney Houston... what next, George Bush isn't that great threads? Pricks.

RIP Whitters.

Predictably you missed the point.

Predictably, fuck off.

God, you're so boring.

Boring and very, very intelligent. Plus I have an enormous penis. Which beats you on all counts, I reckon.

I'd like to think Whitney's up in heaven, smiling down on this thread; or maybe, just politely chuckling at all the tiny cocks.

Me? I'm a dancer. I'm dancing.

He's a massive prick, but girl, now you've gone too far.

i don't know. you sure talk pretty, but is that enough? the last self-proclaimed genius we had on the board was atari. draw your own conclusions.


does that mean you can only fuck giantesses? or do you stay soft through coitus? or are you allowed "just the tip"? because i know for a fact that girls don't like it when their cervix gets tapped too hard.

i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go with giantesses

anyway--

@evollove: vapid pop shit? sure, not everyone likes the same music. talentless??? fuck the fucking hell no. you're spewing ignorance.

@jenn -- sorry!! i hope your tribe is alright. :(

Atari is a genius.

By the way:

I just got banned forever from another forum for pointing out the advantages of illegally downloading stuff. "We don't condone theft," was the administrator's sanctimonious message.

I love how I can come here and write some admittedly incindiary things, and the worst that happens is I get called a fuckwad. Very cool.

By far, of all the music forums that I know about, this is the best for free and uncensored expression. It's the way it should be.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to !@#$%! again.


You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Sonic Youth again.

evollove must be a real asshole to need to slag off someone who had to deal with an abusive partner getting them hooked on drugs, and having the whole world know about it... just because he thinks his favourite fucking indie band is more talented

wtf, lol, think a bit

folks just don't seem to know bout that Grown folkz music ya hear?

Ah, fuck, is he running for president again.

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks our culture's values are out of whack.

isn't it nice to live in a country where you can burn a state flag to make your point?

funny thing though, the dude was from michigan, and his son is buried in michigan, why didn't he wait for michigan to fuck up and took it out on new jersey instead?
