James Blunt Sucks

So I usually don't do the bitter diatribe thing, but I had to say it. I do not understand how this guy can be the top download on iTunes. I mean, seriously, that "beautiful" song that is always on the radio is about him getting high, somehow ending up in a subway station (or probably a "tube stop"...since he's british or whatever), seeing a girl who is with another guy, wanting her body, she sees him sitting there totally stoned, he realizes he will never be with her, and continues in his high-ness. Wow. Every guy who gets high and loiters in subway/metro/tube stations leering at women should take notes from this guy and start writing music--they could all be rich and wasted instead of broke and wasted.

I was forced to listen to the CD on a road trip to SoCal w/ my little bro, whom I love terribly but who has poor taste in music... like the rest of the nation apparently. It made me want to start cutting myself and lie in a bathtub of warm water. I told my brother this, halfway joking. But really, the "music" was incredibly depressing, mediocre and unimaginative. Then I started snooping around the internet, and happened upon the music video for the song. And oh my goodness, the entire video is watching him commit suicide!! HE can't even stand his own music! All I can say is, if you think James Blunt is the next Bono, you should expand your musical horizons.
