Title: Ruining Christmas
Post by: Kaos on December 22, 2016, 09:59:16 AM
Things that bring out the Grinch in me.   

1) Kelly Clarkson.  Listening to the Christmas music and one of her bellowing renditions comes on?  I have to change it.  I'd rather listen to the sound of a flock of geese honking Enter Sandman than hear her monotone screaming through a Christmas classic.  She has no range, she has no pitch, she has no talent (other than clearing out a buffet).  She's abysmal, but the Sirius station seems bent on pushing her cow-croaking on us this year. 

2) PC parents.  In line at Target behind an older lady who was behind a mom with a toddler (maybe five or six) in the buggy.  As people do, the old lady is trying to be nice to the little girl and asks her if she's excited about Santa coming. Child says "Santa isn't real."  Super mom starts lecturing.  "In our house we don't encourage childish fantasies like that.  We've never pretended there's some magical person bringing gifts. She knows where they come from."  I think that's sad.  Mom is a twat. 

3) Justin Beiber.  No Christmas song should ever include the word "shawty."   Can you imagine Nat King Cole singing "shawty's dressed up like Eski-hos"  Pathetic. 

4) Christina Aguilera.  I've heard many bad Christmas songs.  But this?  It has to be the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.  She should be locked in a cell with her mouth taped shut and forced to listen to Karen Carpenter sing Christmas songs for a period of 50 years.

Fuck's sake you inflict upon yourself more misery than the world can possibly throw at you on its own.

Clarkson, Bieber and Aguilera??

Be the change you want to see in the world: turn that garbage off.

It comes on the radio.  I do change it as soon as I hear it.

Springsteen's Santa Glaus is coming to town or RunDMC's Christmas in Hollis?  Turn that way up.

Problem?  Most AM stations are playing great Christmas music this time of year.  Not the best reception a few miles out of town but I can live with it.

With this year kind of being a banner year for celebrity deaths it's kind of went under the radar but 2/3 of ELP died this year. Bummer.

I'd rather hear Roseanne Barr shriek out the national anthem than listen to more than 3 notes come out of Springsteen's yob.

Like many others (U2 Also) his early stuff is great, he gets successful and starts thinking that people give two fucks about what he thinks matters. His writing and performances reflect that. He was born in the USA.

How about the Christmas song by the gay ass band Wham. My wife likes Magic 96 in Bham which plays Christmas music all day. I can't stand that fn song. I mean, one minute you hear a classic by Bing Crosby then the very next this gay lover Christmas song comes. My kids ask why I turn it every time that song comes on.

You cruel bastard.

Pandora.  Swingin' Christmas radio.  It's free.  It's solid. 

Merry Christmas K, hope you and yours have a great weekend.

New outlook on Christmas this year. Just happy to have who I have left this year.
Perry Como could sing and I would be OK:

Pandora isn't easy to do in my truck.  But I get it.  I'm usually on Sirius Holly.

Merry Christmas to all you assholes too.

I don't like anything Springsteen does.  Wouldn't waste piss on his grave.  Except... Except... I love his renditions of Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Merry Christmas Baby.
