Random Crack Music Talk XC: The Infatuation Of Yeezus' Yayo By The Blowhard Rob Ford

It's going to be 37 degrees this weekend. Well, the low, at least.

What happened to global warming?

I keep trying to think of a semi-tasteful joke about Laz's globes not being warm, but I just can't.

For those of you wondering, KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas will be webcast. Set times not yet posted.

The 24th Annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas Webcast � The World Famous KROQ

I gotta remember to watch Saturday this year, not Sunday (aside from Arcade Fire). Lots of good stuff on Saturday though (aside from Kings of Leon).

Just heard a Sujfan Stivins song on an Olive Garden commercial.

I went to school with a guy named Oliver Garden.

Al Gore harnessed all the hot air to heat his little bungalow in Tennessee

Rob Ford.

That is all.

Did he hand out breadsticks to everyone during lunch, or maybe toss your...bottomless salad?

 

[Danny Boy]

Word is all references to Moz's homosexual relationship have been edited out of the US edition of his autobiography.

Can't believe this puritanical bullshit is still happening in 2013.

 

[bono_212]

I refuse to believe that decision is on anyone but Moz and his people.

 

[Danny Boy]

Maybe. Doesn't seem to me that the demographic that would be shocked and appalled by homosexuality would be likely to buy a Morrissey autobio anyway.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

You guys better look out once I've perfected this acoustic cover of the Abbey Road medley that I'm working on.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm going to take out "Sun King" and just hum all the guitar solos.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

But seriously, Mean Mr. Mustard is so much fun to play. Let's go.

Struggling just a wee bit on the transition part between "oh that magic feeling...nowhere to go" and "One sweet dream...pick up the bags, get in the limousine" because I have about 1/1,000,000th of the talent of the young George Harrison. The rest of the songs are easy. "You Never Give Me Your Money" is by far the most musically complex of the bunch.

Moz is not typically one for self-censureship. Seems to relish controversy more than anything else.

Or keep filling his soup to the rim?

The "out of college, money spent..." section can't be easy, either.

I just went and reread the Crabby Load medley.

I don't know...isn't he the one that didn't say word one about his sexuality until this book? I'm not saying anyone has to divulge anything about themselves, it just seems like he's the one who's been keeping things hidden and now you're telling me that a book is getting "censored" in the U.S. for a few passages about his homosexuality? I don't buy it.

Lots of gold in those Beat-offs threads. No badminton, all Lance's Mom.

Right, but why would he choose to include that part in the UK but not in the US? It's not like the book is going to have any wide circulation beyond committed fans, who likely already suspected his homosexuality anyway.

Like you said, he's all about controversy, right? Pretty controversial for a book in the U.S. to not include portions about homosexuality.

 

[corianderstem]

It's really bizarre if the two editions are different, but I simply can't believe it would be a censorship thing. It's not like this is a book being marketed to three-year olds and the publishing house would be scared of the "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN???" response.

Exactly.

 

[corianderstem]

Maybe it's like when the US publishers of Harry Potter changed the title of the first book to "Sorcerer's Stone" instead of "Philosopher's Stone," because they knew us dumbos in the US wouldn't know what the hell a Philosopher was.

We dumbos can't be expected to understand Morrissey's sexuality!

 

[u2popmofo]

Philosopher? Does that have something to do with Doctor Phil?


For obvious personal reasons, I pretty much lost it laughing about this last night:

I'm afraid I'm not following this logic.

We're talking about it here now, right?
