I know exactly what you mean! Obviously their greed turned them into sellouts, but still, it leads you to question why you ever liked that stupid band in the first place. It just makes you want to set fire to your signed album cover art and tear up your ticket stub from their first live show. Because soon enough, the words you see in the eyes of passersby will be things like "Oil of Olay", "Gerber 3rd Foods", "Tigi Treat Me Right Peppermint Hair Mask", and "Ensure Healthy Mom Creamy Milk Chocolate Shake".
Not exactly.. I guess I was tapping into that pit of hate one felt well up in the 90's upon seeing someone with a Nirvana shirt under a starter jacket. I guess in this case, it's unwarranted. I guess I was going all hipster over the ZERO Halliburton.. sigh. I'll do some kinda penance. RE: ZERO Halliburton going mainstream. NOOOOO!!!! |
