You know, James Dean is dead.
But don't worry or get upset or anything, He's been dead for a long time
But a week after he died he received more fan-mail than any other living American actor,
Which is weird right?   'cause he's dead, he's not gonna read that shit
But still, people felt inclined to write him

I think that's the first sign about what's happening with the entertainment industry today,
Especially with music:
I mean, you're gonna make more money dead, have more fame dead
And more people are going to hear your message dead, than ever would've alive. And that's weird

I mean, no one cared about Nick Drake until they put his song in that Volkswagen commercial and now everyone loves Nick Drake....
He died man, he died poor and alone and no one gave a crap.
2Pac, Biggie, sure they were big in their lifetime but how many albums did they put out after they died...?    Man that's fucked up!

Stop messing with peoples legacies like that!
Stop jumping on the bandwagon the second somebody dies and then make a movie about them.
Go out and find that music right now 'cause there are people out there right now working, living, and creating to help make this world a better place and if we don't help them now, or wait until after they're dead, what point is there to being an artist?  What point, what point is there?

Stop doin' that shit, stop ridin' shotgun for the industry and jump in the car with us cause we're going to Weinerschnitzel, then maybe later we can have some muffinz

BRITNEY SPEARS FINDS GOD AND STARTS HER OWN RELIGION:

  My prediction for 2008, well … I have many, but just for the sport of celebrity gawking I’ll throw in this prediction.:  
                     Britney Spears will find God, actually become a religious zealot. She’ll start her own religion; set up a compound/church in Iowa where millions of her disillusioned directionless fans will follow her.

                     A couple of years down the line Iowa will pass a referendum establishing itself as the independent Sovereign Nation of Iowa. By 2009, Mike Huckabee, having only ever won in Iowa, will run for President of Iowa and win. Meanwhile Britney’s sister, Jamie Lynn, disappears from public view only to resurface in 2012, when she signs with Blue Note Records as a jazz singer.  Her new approach emulates her idol Anita O’Day. Jamie Lynn then writes her own parenting book titled 'It’s Never Too Early to Start Good Parenting'. 
            
                    She’ll eventually marry the California Highway Patrol officer who pulled her over for driving under the influence, though he’ll tear up the ticket once he recognizes her from her Playboy spread.
