Rolling Stone: Saddams Hanging, the Musical!
 Saddam Hussein asked us to create the soundtrack to his execution shindig this weekend. Thoughts?* Dead Man Walking, Bruce Springsteen * 25 Minutes to Go, Johnny Cash * Gallows Pole, Led Zeppelin * Let Him Dangle, Elvis Costello * Hang On, Teenage Fanclub -- Rolling Stone That's amusing enough, albiet in poor taste (in a Rantburg kind of way), but the reaction in the comment box by one of the compassionate antiwar crowd is pure comic gold: From a journalistic stand-point, for a publication with the historical significance of RS to post something like this is really an embarrassing sign of the times . . . Essentially, you are mocking the life-works of artists like Bob Dylan and John Lennon who represent your audience. (h/t "Relaped Catholic") Posted by: Mike 2007-01-02 |
