I’d be apologizing too for this suckfest.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
There’s like 8 people in the stadium.
Who are they apologizing to?
Also, how does this even happen? I mean, Corey has been farting around with his so-called music for almost 20 years. It’s ALWAYS been complete dogpoop. I don’t think he’s appearing for free . . . is he? And even if he was, they still have the hassle of all the logistics and set up and tear down and such. What, some nitwit entertainment director got a press package from Corey’s team and thought, “Well, heck! He was great in Goonies, so I’m sure he rocks!”
Who needs Michael Jackson anymore? Corey clearly has the ghost of Jacko in him and is bringing it to the masses.

I don’t see the resemblence. [sly]
I think it’s terrible, but no more terrible than 95% of other crap, much of which gets on the radio or MTV.
The complaint about the gals being “scantily clad” is really weak. They’re fully clothed, have stockings and fairly lengthy skirts. They have a bit of midriff showing, but . . . so? They’re wearing MORE than any cheerleader I’ve ever seen on court. They’re also wearing more than most female characters in children’s cartoons.
Whoever is responsible for booking the gig should be questioned accordingly, but I really don’t see why they thought an apology was needed either. Kind of sounds like someone had a personal bone to pick, if you ask me.
Which is worse? Feldman’s band or Dogstar?
The Bacon Brothers
Which is worse? Feldman’s band or Dogstar?
Feldman’s (all of them) are infinitely worse. They’re even worse than Steven Seagal’s band (I can’t recall their name) or 50 Odd Grunt (Russell Crowe’s).

I would add Joaquin Phoenix’ short-lived “hip hop” project to this list of actor-led atrocities (see the movie “I’m Still Here” for background), but unfortunately it was all just an elaborate hoax with a number of other industry insiders being in on the joke.
Were it an actual ‘thing,’ it would easily rate among the golden legends of suck-itude.

HAHAHA!!! I was gonna mention that one too.
I never checked out the film or looked deep enough into it to see what it was all about. I guess it was some kind of high art troll theatre piece like “Exit Through The Gift Shop” or something?
I did remember seeing some clip of Jaoquin rapping at some club or something and it was pretty hilariously horrible, but kind of fun in his feigned sincerity.
I don’t know the guy, but I suspect he’ll then be pissed off that . . . . after revealing that it was some elaborate hoax, no one gave a shit and still didn’t think it was very funny.
I watched it, it wasn’t very good. They were going for a Borat-style grand scale prank, and it just doesn’t work.
The rapping was the least of the problems with that one.
Yes “Im Still There” was definitely in that vein. Cant say i wasn’t entertained, especially during the sequence where JP gets to demo some of his wretched trax for P. Diddy, who listens to them and is just like “why do you wanna do hip hop? You think…like…this is fuckin funny?”
On a side note, never saw “Exit…” because I think Banksy’s art has the nuance of a broadaxe to the skull and the depth of a petri dish. “Like, duuude…he made a stencil with that photo of the Vietnamese girl screaming in terror, with Mickey Mouse ears superimposed on her!” You can just hear the citadels of power and oppression crumble all around us…
You know, I really wanted to hate Exit. . .but it has a certain charm that won me over. It pretty much skewers the pretentiousness of the art scene. It might have started as a “puff piece”, but it’s like part way through, Banksy realized that he and his contemporaries are all full of shit, and so the focus changes to this guy who basically exemplifies why the art scene is so full of shit.
Fun Fact: Mr. Brain Wash must live in my neighborhood, because I see him all the time. At the grocery store, at Best Buy, etc. I laugh every time.

Being tangentially involved with that whole scene, I kind of agree and disagree at the same time. To be sure, there’s a ridiculous amount of glad-handing and calculated attempts to avoid real criticism of their work (ever notice how so many interviews done with ‘name’ artists are being done by people who have an interest in promoting them, thus pretty much denying the possibility of anything but ‘softball’ questions being asked?)
But there’s also a category of perplexing / ‘difficult’ artists who never even make an attempt to justify what they’re doing as “art” (terms like “intermedia” or “psychic research” get batted around a lot instead) and who highly dislike the whole gallery system. I have good friends who just commit uncategorizable creative acts, which they do for no other reason because they feel compelled to, and who light up with joy the second anyone shows curiosity in their work. Those people I can definitely respect.
Will finally give “Exit…” a viewing after this synopsis, at any rate. I still also recommend “Hellaware” (I think I mentioned this on one of the many Juggalo threads) as an acid commentary on the art market and its over-inflated self-image of itself as being a prime mover of history.
To add to the list the glorified wedding singer Michael Buble sucks ass too. All because it’s nothing but covers of past hits and people go nuts claiming he’s amazing.
That 20 Seconds to Mars shit is heinous too…

I think their claim is that he’s an amazing singer/ performer. It ain’t my style, but, yeah, he’s got a great voice. Not all great singers are songwriters or musicians. Did Whitney Houston write any of her own songs? (I don’t actually know the answer, but I don’t think she did - - or at least didn’t normally do so). Mariah Carey?

You do raise a good point about not writing music. Hell if you wanna go there those artist he covers probablly didn’t. But like you it’s not my cup of tea. Just because there’s some do it better.
Personally I prefer the ones that write their own. But, that’s because life isn’t puppies and kittens and we pretend to children it is, when we know it’s god damn well not.

HAHA!!! You’re probably right about that too.
I listen to a lot of 50’s and 60’s music (rock and roll, motown, doo wop type stuff). Trying to figure out who was the first to do a lot of these songs is hard as Hell. “Take Good Care of My Baby”, “Save The Last Dance For Me” . . . . stuff like that. It seems like a lot of these tracks were done by ever group alive at the time. And even finding the original version of it doesn’t mean that group/singer wrote the song.

Life should be puppies and kittens.
Puppies and kittens are rad. They’re kind of like small dogs and cats that you don’t get as pissed off at.
That 20 Seconds to Mars shit and anything Jared Leto is involved in is heinous too…
Fixed it for you.
Does anyone remember that show “Surreal Life”? Corey was one of the wash-outs on it and there was one episode where they were doing this race/obstacle course and I think Corey was teamed up with MC Hammer. They’re supposed to finish this one part then run to these rowboats on the beach and then use the rowboats to paddle out to the next part . . . . . Corey finished the running part and MC Hammer and he get to the boat and instead of both grabbing a side and pushing the boat out to the water to launch it, Corey jumps in the boat (while it’s still dragged up 10 feet up the shore) and gives a charging fist pump in the air like, “Tally Ho!” . . . . I don’t know if he thought the boat was going to launch itself or what, but Hammer had to push that damn thing with that stupid ass white boy weighing it into the sand. It was an amazing moment of television greatness.
