AKA – why I haven’t done more than skim most stories lately.
- U2 “No Line on the Horizon” – To clarify, I plan to buy it, listen to it and love it. But I have no interest in reading about it. I don’t want to read about Bono and how his do-gooding is impacting his music. I don’t care what Time magazine deems “necessary” vs. “crap” in the U2 oeuvre. And I really hate reading about songs that I haven’t heard yet…it’s as unsatisfying and pointless to me as “judging” the dishes on Top Chef when you can’t taste them. So I continue ignoring all these stories.
- Jimmy Fallon – I don’t know why got to this point in pop culture where media and bloggers seem to have a deep seeded hatred of Jimmy Fallon. I don’t remember it existing when he was on SNL. And the sheer act of starring in a bad taxi movie with Queen Latifah shouldn’t have done it. So seriously, what else has he done to make everyone hate him so much? He has sort of fratty hair, but so does Andy Samberg and we don’t hate him. And he seems much less dick-ish than Seth Myers to me. He got married to Drew Barrymore’s friend, but who cares? Is it just the fact of him getting a show that pissed people off? I guess either way, I don’t really care. I’m perplexed by this, but not enough to read anything about Jimmy Fallon. All of the press on him for his new show is just one more topic that I gloss over regardless.
- The Watchmen. – Maybe I’ll see it someday, but I have no interest in reading about its legal woes or how I should be excited to see it on the big screen.
