Everybody knows somebody who would have had this one.
Dignity needs to make a comeback.
Now, remind me, that is what we in the UK know as Ludo (hence 'Cluedo' being renamed as 'Clue' in the US as the pun would be lost on that market)?
Back to dignity, yes, please. Remember when the studio system would do its best to cover this garbage up? Now it seems that the celebrities and their reps just can't wait to get this stuff out there? Yuck.
Now... as for political scandal there might be *some* difference. Just compare FDR's dalliance(s) to Clinton's. One we never heard but the merest whisper, the other we had to stop our children from watching the news there for a while! ugh.
I shouldve made a killing years ago with my Nerf hood ornaments. They didnt catch on, though.
Standards.
As in song standards.
You know, classic songs that all artists would do because they were great songs. Where they didnt try to conquer the song, but instead add to it? You cant make a standard better, thats why its a standard. You can only sing it and hope your version is looked on as one of the great ones.

Unfortunately, when anyone does make an album of "standards" (like Rod Stewart), people criticize them as being washed up and trying for a comeback, when I think it just shows a maturation in tastes.
The singer-songwriter revolution was complete years ago. Popular music just doesn't follow the composer/performer divide any more.
