So first I spend half an hour looking for the apostrophe.
Then I see JM has it right.
It’s about those whores who have become rock stars and those who have not…

This is a pyramid of whores. Nowhere is “everyone” indicated. Rather: most whores don’t get out of selling themselves quite what they were expecting.

Rob called me out, and he’s right. I was a little
too quick with the “great insight” in my earlier post. It was a “clever” insight with a smartass payoff. Guess I’m a sucker for pyramid diagrams and smartass payoffs. Still not a fan of floating apostrophes.

“Great insight”? “Brilliant”?
Genuinely? I like some of Hugh’s cartoons, but come on. You don’t have to climb *all* the way up his ass.
And the rogue apostrophe doesn’t help.

I think it‘s time to draw a line in the sand dude, between the sort of low-brow, unintellectual, cheap, rock star BULLSHIT peddled by the likes of mass media WHORE-mongers to the genuine god given gifts of visionaries, performers and those who have a message and a wish to change the world — whether there be recrimination, rewards, RESURRECTION, fire, persecution, loneliness-death in obscurity or a bullet in the back …
There is a big difference between those who seek only to divulge their weak interests for self indulgence and those who seek only to communicate with HONESTY and TRUTH.
…the American Dream is a fist full of shining stars crushed… the burning corpse of government wrapped in dirty flags and battle banners lost somewhere upon a bloody beach strewn with the wrecks and martyrs of history…

Great illustration of Malcolm Gladwell’s concept of ‘tournament’ economic motivation outlined so effectively in his Freakanomics chapter ‘Why Do Drug Dealers Still Live With Their Moms’.

My appreciation for the concept is tempered only by that errant apostrophe.

Really? If you are not a rockstar you are just a wannabe and a whore? I support rock stars and have no shame in that.
