The Rolling Stones did a recent concert in Toronto. Their opening act was Justin Timberlake. Now I ask you, who was on crack when they made that decision?
Not only does this kid not do anything remotely close to the kind of music that the Stones do, but he is not what I would call super talented to begin with. He got booed, hissed at and water bottles were thrown at him. Keith Richards came out on stage and stared the audience down and told them to have respect for Timberlake. Well, at least that was a realistic thing, Richards would scare anyone. Have you taken a close look at old Keith in the last few years. He is scary, very scary. Lets face it, the man is downright ugly in a way that makes small children sleep with the lights on kind of way.
What would posess someone to put those two acts together? Better yet, what would make those two acts even agree to that? What were they thinking?
This could lead to many thoughts, here are just a few of them:
#1. Why don't the Stones just retire? I mean, look at this band, been around since the early 1960's and their music has been awful for the last 20 years. Sad really.
I remember when a Stones concert meant, booze, biker gangs, drugs, sex and rock and roll. Now its Justin Timberlake and 'water bottles' getting thrown at him. Water bottles? At a Stones concert? Man how times have changed. Who would have thought that the same band who cranked out 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Satisfaction' would end up sounding like music played at the Bingo games at the local nursing home. What is worse, they look like the nursing home residents!
#2. Is this Justins way to try and get Britney back? Look, women have a thing for the underdog. Maybe she would feel sorry for him and at least take him back for a few nights. Or, maybe Justin had his eye on Mick? One never knows about Mick, remember David Bowie? Maybe Justin knew the story and decided it worth a try. Hey, anything is possible.
#3. To add injury to insult here, Britney Spears has signed a contract to do 'The Dukes of Hazzard' movie. She will be playing Daisy Duke! OMG! Not only was that one of the worst shows to plague television history, but now they want to make a movie out of it.
I will admit, if you cut the volume completely down and just looked at Beau and Luke, well, that was certainly kind of nice to look at, but that is the only saving grace about the show. Now they are making a movie out of it. With Britney Spears as Daisy Duke.
You know what I think, we are in the apocolypse and we have witnessed some of the signs that are pointing in that direction. Justin Timberlake plays a Stones Concert. The Stones are still able to walk around and play instruments. Britney Spears is an actress playing one of the worst character roles that was ever written, and is happy about it. People drink water and then throw the bottles at a Stones Concert? That is the strongest one yet!!
I don't know about you, but I wonder what the next sign will be?
Madonna opening for Jerry Falwell?
Stranger things have happened folks.
