Okay, I’m really pissed now! First the shipping monkeys screw up my laptop repair shipment, then I read FoxNews. I play for years in college bands, and end up quitting the business because we couldn’t get exposure. Now this soon-to-be-felon gets his music posted on the internet?
The feds caught Luke J. Helder, the teenage dirtbag who decided to deliver exploding pipes via the United States Postal Service. Shortly after his capture, the news reported that he played in a grunge band. Now FoxNews is posting a link to his music … on their front page!
No, I will not give you the link.
Nice job, FoxNews … really bright. Why are you promoting a criminal as a media star on your front page, while your hosts deplore this activity on their shows? Bill O’Reilly, a FoxNews host, writes about this in an article you can find on FoxNews.com …
“The wrongdoer walks and maybe even prospers from his problems (Robert Downey, Jr., landed a plum role on Ally McBeal). The lawyer earns his dough, and sometimes the media benefit from increased reader-and viewership. The show must go on.”
I’m not a huge fan of O’Reilly, but I find it ironic that I can search for “media criminals” and find this reference on the same website that promotes an unknown band fronted by a man who is now famous for trying to blow people up. I don’t care that this nutjob plays in a band. I do care that my mailbox doesn’t explode, and than the man who tried to harm innocent people trying to get their latest 0% credit card offer from their postmaster-approved mailbox goes to prison for a very long time. The media made a big deal about Charles Manson being a musician, and people bought his records after he was sent to jail. Why make this fool a superstar?
Musicians that bomb are bad things, both on and off stage. Here’s the only association I need between bombs and musicians … Glitter, starring Mariah Carey.
