Millionaire lefty song composer Burt Bacharach has written lots of famous schmaltzy love songs for about 50 years, but the love has turned to hate. Snoop Burty Burt has been working with rap artists lately and now is so angry at George W. Bush that he’s written both the music and lyrics for protest songs against Republicans, Iraqi Freedom, and prominent African-Americans he considers sellouts for not being Democrats like him.
I’m certain Bacharach’s CD will sell. There will always be people that buy something from an artist no matter how poorly conceived or executed just because those fans think the artist can do no wrong.
A good example of that is Yoko Ono. She’s the older woman with marginal talents and a failing career that hooked up with a younger man with some talent that was going places. Most people with any objectivity knew that Yoko Ono was just a parasite on John Lennon, but John Lennon thought she could do no wrong and turned his career over to her. No matter how bad Lennon’s creative output was after Ono entered the picture, there would always be fans of his that would say: “Right on, man. You’re, like, so inspired as artists, man.”

scoff< Hippies!
Of course, if Yoko Oko didn’t have John Lennon’s previous output with Paul McCartney to draw from, she’d be screwed. That’s just par for the course… Burt Bacharach can do a CD full of lackluster protest songs he penned by himself because he’s living off his past glories of the songs he co-wrote with other artists.
