It was begging to be done: The 15 Most Outrageous Claims in Pop Music History. (I’m of the opinion that it’s worth trudging through the crap in the article to get to the few gems.)
It’s happened to everyone. You’re driving along listening to the radio when you hear a lyric so mind-bogglingly false that you instinctively swerve directly into a telephone pole, blinded by sheer amazement at the idiotic idea you’ve been asked to accept. Well, we’re not going to take these artists’ claims at face value anymore.
It’s pretty rap-heavy, so the more sensitive should beware, naturally. I’ll have to be on the lookout for notable omissions— can anyone think of any?
Update:
And on that note, A Retort to Carly Simon Regarding Her Charges of Vanity (and other pop song correspondences).
With love from your vain muse,
Mick Jagger or Warren Beatty or Kris Kristofferson or whoever the hell I am
