Why Mainstream Music is Shit - Reason #1 - Celebrities

For the love of mankind, please stick to athletics!
For the love of mankind, please stick to athletics!Celebrities quite often think of themselves as brands. Unfortunately a few of them take the marketing term 'brand extension' a little too far by venturing into mainstream music, and mainstream radio, being the bunch of idiots they are, will happilly play this tripe. It seems Carl Lewis made an attempt in the late 80's and here you can see how truly awful this man's attempt at music really was. There's no point wishing that this won't happen again because you know it will.

Now just hold on a minute... This Carl Lewis song is actually pretty good compared to his rendition of The Star Spangled Banner (our beloved-yet-unsingable national anthem here in the States) before a basketball game. In our 230-year history of quasi-patriotic pre-game entertainment, only Roseanne did it worse.

Could someone please explain why the old, over-weight, not funny women is in the video? And then Carl bangs her (I thought he was gay?) in the end? WTF? Am I missing something?

I think she was the producer.... ;)

Awful? You want awful? Then you've got to check out this beauty from Dennis Madalone, former Star Trek stunt coordinator, current patriotic ROCK GENIUS.
