Genius Loves Company

So now we all know Jacko once showed lil' Corey Feldman a book about veneral diseases. Could be very damaging testimony, if MJ's defense team didn't have their own superstar witnesses: Deepak Chopra, Larry King, Ed Bradley, Maury Povich, etc...

According to the LA Times the deputy DA has been asking potential jurors: "Would the testimony of someone like an Elizabeth Taylor influence you disproportionately?"

No way, each of them replied. As if to underscore the point, a silver-haired 62-year-old man misidentified Deepak Chopra, one of Jackson's possible witnesses, as a rap star.
Deepak Chopra of course is more of a New Age bullshit artist than a rap star. But if you saw 20/20, you know Corey Feldman is secretly a rock star. Average Amazon.com customer review for Corey Feldman's Truth Movement is 3.5 stars.

Recommended if you're a fan of music by Alyssa Milano, Kevin Bacon, Joe Pesci, Don Johnson, Leonard Nimony, and Miles Davis.

The witness was right... Deepak Chopra does have a rap album titled "Straight outta New Delhi". It's similar to Tupac, but less violent, and more references to Ganesha...

I suspect that the average rating for *any* album on Amazon is 3.5 or higher. It's not a particularly critical system.

Alyssa is like huge in Japan, correct me if I am wrong. I do have friends there who talk about her AMAZING singing ability, etc; and snatch up every cd.

All I think about is Family Guy when I hear her name now.

Two questions: 1) Why aren't these people also shopping for the first Bruce Willis album? 2) WHY isn't the Feldman album called "Sketches of Corey?"

Leif Garrett had a song called "Former Child Star" if that's what you're thinking about.

Nah, no one is that much of a music idiot if they're reading this blog.

Or has the readership taken a recent nose dive?

Something to ponder.
