Somebody Needs To Get Fired, Part II
I am moving tomorrow, and already packed, and have nothing to do. So I am watching the Orange Bowl. Blow. Out. On the other hand, I did get to see massively overproduced pop-rock trash get exposed for the fakery it is.

See, apparently the sound guy was drunk. Or incompetent. Or possibly has a sense of humor that interferes with steady employment. In any case, we got to hear how Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson actually sound before they get candy-coated with studio magic. The flaying of cats. Siamese cats. Angry siamese cats.

The most beautiful part of all was the crowd at the Orange Bowl. There were having none of it. I'd never before heard boos on television that I would describe as "lusty," but the folks from Oklahoma and the folks from SC apparently agree on one thing: Ashlee Simpson and faux goth suck. And that may be as close as we get to the common sense of the country.

So thanks, sound guy. You give good shaudenfreude, letting the emperor strut around with his fly open like that. If you're broke and need a cup of coffee, look me up. And bring me some sugar.
