]]> Comment on As if I needed another reason to hope Obama defeats McCain in November. by levine http://www.becomingsomebody.com/2008/07/02/as-if-i-needed-another-reason-to-hope-obama-defeats-mccain-in-november/#comment-1495 levine Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:17:03 +0000 http://www.becomingsomebody.com/2008/07/02/as-if-i-needed-another-reason-to-hope-obama-defeats-mccain-in-november/#comment-1495 I like the irony of Stephen Baldwin denouncing other celebrities as not speaking for middle and mainstream America. He's not über-famous, but the only reason he was on a Fox Noise TV segment is because his last name is Baldwin and he's the MacGuyver smoker from Half Baked, not because he's some sort of political operative. Do you think he realized that nobody cares about what he thinks just like nobody cares about what his brother Alec or Tim Robbins thinks? Or does his celebrity voice matter because it's for McCain? He seemed to undermine his own argument simply by existing. Also, if I can quote his final point, "Why do they keep saying that four more years of McCain is four more years of Bush? That's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life." Wow. George W. couldn't have said it any better himself.

]]> Comment on I don’t get Coldplay. by Nick http://www.becomingsomebody.com/2008/06/26/i-dont-get-coldplay/#comment-1479 Nick Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:18:05 +0000 http://www.becomingsomebody.com/2008/06/26/i-dont-get-coldplay/#comment-1479 Honestly, modern American Music is a joke. People who can't sing without the aid of a computer lead the world... Rap? Its a joke! Everything from about 2000 on is manufactured, modified talking. Now talk Public Enemy for example...they have skill. Everyone else? No. The reason Coldplay are so rich is because they probably have a good beat, or teenage girls find it good (which they find anything with a hip-hop beat good).
