Name your lame duck artist........


What artist do you put above all others in terms of lack of talent but somehow has achieved success?

For me Madonna has to be the queen of mediocrity (mediocre being a compliment in this case) - can't sing or act and what's with the fake english accent after living there a whole two years.
And don't get me going with all these new female jazz "singers" with that vomit inducing vibratoless whisper that seems to have become mandatory in that genre today......Jones clones.

Hey, can we redirect this post back to Beyonce and BBQ in Houston. It is much more tasty than Leonard and KY Jelly.
Cohen's responses to questions re. the deep meaning behind his lines reminded me of Dylan being quizzed at some university on the deep meaning behind a line in his song "The man in the long B;ack Coat".

The song goes......

People don't live or die, people just float
she's gone with the man in the long black coat

Someone asked what exactly did he mean when he said "people don't live or die, people just float. ( a great line with huge BS potential).

His answer - " nothing, I just needed something that rhymed with coat"

I found his lack of BS very refreshing. Now, if Cohen had been asked that.......

Once someone starts marketing themselves as some kind of a prophet there will always be people who will find genius in the most meaningless semantics.
