Sinister: conditions of US Stardom

[rebelstrange at xxx.Miller]

I've been hearing about how B&S are destined to become "HUGE" successes and
"Famous" worldwide.  the Breaking-Out.  I can see how it might happen in the
UK or europe, or japan, or what not.  but i just can't imagine them
appealing so widely to the mainstream US, in our climate of worshipping
HUGENESS and Crassness of all kinds (i.e., Titanic, Marilyn Manson, Etc...)
If they want to make it really big here in America, they would have to
fulfill at least 2 or 3 of the following conditions, i am sure of it:

1. Stop singing about sad librarians and bucktoothed girls; start singing
about Ho's and pimps, and how they owe their power to Satan.

2. The Dust Brothers/Trent Reznor produce their next album

3. Stuart does a video in fake breast prostheses,  leather bustier and
halloween makeup.

4. Isobel poses for Penthouse

5. a band member dates Leonardo dicaprio/Matt Damon

6.  a band member offs themselves a la kurt cobain, in tragic drug orgy

7. Change wardrobe from flares and second hand threads, to mesh shirts and
adidas track gear, dreadlocks;  become the Backstreet Boys, stop playing
instruments and dance stupidly in a line instead.

8.  Next CD of industrial beats and distortion pedals, contains enhanced
CD-ROM game where the band members as superheroes join forces with KORN to
defeat the aliens

9.  Puff Daddy "samples" Seeing Other People, turning it into a frat-party
sex anthem

10.  Sarah becomes Courtney Love's lesbian lover


Unless this stuff happens, i just don't think  mainstream America is going
to put up with them......
