SEE? THIS IS WHY PEOPLE MAKE SH*TTY MUSIC!

Call me cynical (“Nnnnoooo!” you cry, “Not you, Axl!”), but I’m generally of the mind that people are by and large pretty stupid, and that’s why stupid stuff does so well; fact is, by and large huge multi-squillion dollar multi-national corporations fund our art these days, and those corporations fund what the public has demanded – fair enough – ’cause the people vote with their wallets. So Arrested Development gets cancelled while According to Jim will run forever and ever, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford tanks at the box office but The Game Plan is one of the biggest hits of the season, and Faith No More’s fame was fleeting but Disturbed have somehow managed to stick around and release platinum-selling record after platinum-selling record.

So while talented musicians everywhere struggle to make ends meet and keep their bands alive, Flatbush’s own orthodox Jew-turned-monkey screecher David Draiman is selling his house (seen above) for $2.9 million fucking dollars, which is nearly a half a million more than he payed for it. That’s right: he gets to be fabulously rich and make a killing on the California real estate market, all for being a lame white dude who sings about his “people” in the “barrio.”

Sigh. I’m gonna go swallow a handful of sleeping aids and wash ’em down with some Stoli. Anyone care to join?
