"I Kissed a Girl" was just straight-up offensive. The whole thing is like, I kissed a girl so my boyfriend could masturbate about it later. It's disgusting. It's exactly every male fantasy of fake lesbian porn. It's pathetic. And she's not a good singer. I don't want to trash other women. I mean, I think Jason Mraz is horrible. It's not just like I hate other women performers. Jason Mraz, and the new James Blunt song is the worst thing that has ever been created on the face of the Earth.It's also smart and feminist and has a lot of interesting things to say about the 90s!
Also, here's the story of how Kathleen Hanna and Kurt Cobain graffitied a fake abortion clinic and she came up with the title "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and much more. It an amazing story:
HA HA HA HA HA I am loving everything on your blog which I have not looked at for a long time. First of all, I'm not sure I knew Kathleen Hanna was the one who said "Smells like teen spirit"--he always told that story but I'm not sure he always said it was her! Maybe the music journalists or whatever didn't think it was worth putting her name in. Anyway he always talked about how he didn't know it was a deodorant!
ReplyDeleteAlso the stuff about how male performers are bad too is adorable.
Totally wrote the same thing about that Katy Perry song in Feb '10. Check it: http://thefrenchexit.blogspot.com/2010/02/item.html
ReplyDelete"her music is obviously marketed to a tween/teen audience that thinks girl-on-girl action is live porn for guys"
