Avant-Slut


Meet Andy Warhol slash Madonna, or Britney Spears, or The Pussy Cats Dolls...or...gee...any other "Pop Diva" topping the so called charts. Is it just me, or is anyone else irritated that once revered terms such as "artist" and "musician" are thrown around in such ways that mistakenly label people who are hired by big record companies to pump out CDs?

I don't see how being an "artist" or "musician" would suggest that the focal requirement be to dance around naked, thrust around and simulate sex, and sing sexually charged lyrics. Because wow...that is so revolutionary. So mind bogglingly original.

Lady Gaga.... don't peg yourself as a "performance artist". You're hot, you're sexy, but you belong in porn. And hey, that's okay. Its called compartmentalization and thats the box that you, and all the other "pop ho's" belong in. Quite frankly, our youth are being brainwashed to some how think that pelvic thrusting and songs about "da club " contain "artistic value".

Just call it what it is people.

Sex sells.

Real art usually does not.
