Bad Role Models Create Chaos
I recently posted a news bulletin that blames the media for the increase in mass slayings of late. It was a comedy post which you could have taken purely as a joke, but today I'd like to say the same thing seriously. You wouldn't need to take a deadly weapon out of the hand of a teen if the media would be more responsible in choosing their idols. Someone like Taylor Swift, for instance, who they present as harmless, is actually a psychopath. Being a star is more important to her than anything. She stole her music and lied about its author to be a star. She broke the law and went to jail to be the star she is now. That's not all that different from committing a mass slaying to be a star. The same destructive ambition guides both acts. I'm old now, but I'm wise. I know I'm probably happier living the life of an ordinary worker, even though my creative talent might not be so ordinary. We could avoid a lot of bloodshed if I weren't being humiliated for making a very sensible life choice. We could show these troubled teens who they've really been admiring on the radio and TV and that he's happy outside the spotlight. But clearly the media would rather keep the dead end road to murder/suicide open for these kids than admit it has lied so much to us about who to admire in the last fifteen years. It embarasses them and they can't face embarassment. They can dish out murderous image violations to an innocent artist like me, which I must face every day, but they can't face a little embarassment to put it right. Too bad we can't get people of stronger character to work in broadcasting. Don't underestimate what their campaign against me has cost. I had a hole in my molar for three years after seeing a dentist while I wrote my Madonna Went to Prison blog. See where I end up when they leave me alone to tell the truth about the crimes against me? It cost me a couple thousand for the crown. There was no other way to repair the damage. But they can't face a little embarassment. |
