Andy Taylor - In defense of Britney There are many people out there who have an opinion about Brittney - good and bad. I am deeply moved by what I read on Andy's MySpace blog. I feel that he's nailed it for the most part. I don't understand why there hasn't been any laws created to deal with the stalker like actions of the paparazzi. What is it going to take to end the craziness that is created when they stalk their prey? I guess someone has to die first. Oh wait, that happened in Paris already. I just hope and pray for a better world every day. I'd like to think that I'm not alone with that.
Good Luck Britney. I hope you make it. http://blog.myspace.com/i...=347699389 WAKE UP - IN DEFENCE OF BRITNEY... Current mood: blessed Category: Music Disney is certainly not the "School of Rock" - I often wondered which one of them would be the first to implode or self-destruct - this could be a long running show... The naivety of your childhood bubble has bursts - blown up from years of "selective achievement" often as a consequence of your loving parents vicarious ambition, which can hardly prepare you for the unforgiving reality of adulthood - particularly when mixed with the vicious cocktail of... 2008 L.A.- Celebrity & 24-hour junk TV... The pre-fabrication of success - the inevitable promotion through' the Disney ranks, bears no reality to a career path in one of the most brutal businesses on the planet... Britney was the first of a new generation of talent - spawned from the unprecedented rise in kids TV programming - & I believe she has got some extraordinary ability, but the ground work was phoney, sorry inadequate for her to take this into a proper, full on, non-scripted adult career - I can't imagine that anybody had a crystal ball & could have foreseen what the media would become - or the the potential effect that this could have on their child - notwithstanding that, forget career - how did it all get so very badly out of control on a basic human level??? The fairy tale is well & truly over, or did it ever really begin??? One things for sure - she won't be the last - her sister is right up her rear... Nailed by another young lad - who inevitably can see some major bucks being returned on his semen if he can just sail up the River Spears & deposit a little... nice work if you can get it!!! What advice is Zooey 101 going to give her new "tiny tears" - We can't ask the grandmother cause she writing a parenting book - must be a bloody good comedy... And what does k-fed say to the kids... "hey your moms a real fuck-up, that's why your with me - & kids I ain't made a legitimate dime in my life & to be perfectly honest when your moma's bucks run thin, I don't know where its gonna come from, but for now lets bleed the bitch dry - get my bodyguard to call my lawyer"... Why does a dick-head like this even need a bodyguard??? Chris Crocker perhaps... The knuckle-head sends the bodyguard to pick-up the kids, & Britney is paying for this - let me get this straight - this non achieving, shittiest rapper ever, is getting $30k PCM from his missus cause he can't even work a carwash - she pays his legal fees - house - and everything - and he has to send a lecky round to pick-up his own kids, I would have told the guy to fuck off also (& got my 2 bodyguards to kick his ass all the back to k-land, away from the kids of course) - Anyway... shouldn't k-fed personally be picking up his kids (that's what real parents do) particularly in this sensitive media frenzy, step up himself as opposed to dispatching the bodyguard, of course I forgot - he's the busiest man in showbizz... what a freeloader & what a totally crap name, sounds like dog food - k-fed... With a good, actually no with a right bastard of a lawyer in LA you can get away with murder, so this is a garden party for the predatory professionals, easy meat with a client as dumb as this guy & a target like Britney - don't forget he's got previous & 2 other kids, which he also can't afford to feed or cloth... So... How do you transcend from Disney pixie to LA player... Try 500 shitty gigs, playing all sorts of crap, to god knows who... when at least half the time some drunken yob wants to beat you up cause' his drunken bird flashed her knockers at you during "I will Survive"... Or trying to get your money from some flakey Luxembourg agent who doesn't turn up to pay you end of the contract - so you have to pay a visit to his mothers house & confiscate her TV & stereo, purely as collateral until her crooked son pays up - only then to be held at gunpoint by the cops several hours later (still got paid however) Of course I only had the good fortune to experience these fundamentally grounding escapades because I managed to master an instrument & escaped either north sea fishing or fucking freezing cold building sites... The problem for Brit is probably simple, aside from no fundamental street experience - When the time comes to take control of your life, usually around 25 years old - the people around you, who were used to getting it all their own way, cannot adjust to your new found adulthood & the realisation of your power - it is now their turn to listen & do what you are asking of them, this may not prove to be very popular - so they turn on you & start airing their concerns for you, probably because you have seen thru'' their bullshit & are about to fire their greedy ass... (As they are doing more coke than you & also buying it for you, even when you don't want it) It is also inevitable that you will want to break free from your parents shit - so its probably not going to resonate very deeply within Britney if she is constantly told to speak to her mother or family (not exactly the most shinning of examples) - when she is also a mum - To be perfectly honest, they may be with you all the way & love you unconditionally - but it ain't their life to live anymore & no doubt she has been very generous with her family & confidantes - therefore any lack or waning of support on their part, will be seen as treachery by her, particularly when everybody around her claims to have the answers & are constantly telling her that only she is wrong or bad - as they unwittingly bite the nails of the hand that feeds them... The girl has got to be thinking "fuck you lot - you seem to forget who's show this is & who's the ONLY one CAPABLE of making any serious bucks to keep this privileged lifestyle running - Kev & co." ... So don't kid yourself into thinking that the layers & layers of Sicos surrounding her will ever give a toss - I always remember what the shortest man in the music business once said to me ... "Talent is like apples, you can pick new ones from the tree every year, because the old ones always go rotten"... Funny because he couldn't reach the apples, but he sure knew how to pick em - eat em & screw them to the core when they went rotten... Such a nice man!!! In these uncertain times for the music business, its difficult to see where the Brits of tomorrow are going to come from, so perhaps we should look after the Brits of today a little better - There's nothing more obscene than a 50-plus talking head white male, dissecting this young woman's life... like these guys in the media are clean, give me a break... If they haven't got laid in a while then they should go find the appropriate services, but this Britney obsessed stuff is obscene & presented in a way that is nothing more than a crass double standard predominately male orientated - at last a rich chick gets nailed, does it turn them on or merely deflect from the more pressing issues of the day??? So what will her circle do when - her value is reduced to zero, her self worth has been zapped & she can't afford to pay the extortion that she is currently subjected to, in part because of her own behaviour, but so obviously because she has been exploited by a bunch of thugs - who are so stupid that they can't actually see they are laying the path of their own demise by attacking her in this way... Unfortunately she's been carrying these people since she was a baby & the transition will not be easy... Yeah I do feel for her, it must be a bloody nightmare all things considered... Britney finally woke-up - realised she had a living nightmare & no control of the train she was riding - admitted, her reaction has not been very good, however there are many out there doing a lot worse within relationships, so you get the impression that she is being judged very harshly, infact the prisons would be overflowing if every drunk mom & dad paid the price she is paying, & where would you put all their kids??? Therefore would the courts have been so bold with Britney's kids if "daddy" wasn't so readily on hand with moms cash - and had the so called media not gone so ridiculously over the top with this, then maybe a little sanity would prevail - because its not a headline story more than once, its a very sad story & should be mostly kept private - & not all fathers are such freeloading kid-snatchers, for me its only one above kidnapping... But if she was really ill, psychotic or bipolar then she would have been committed for sure, but she hasn't therefore she can't be & what's it got to do with us anyway... The sadly misdirected courts & her con of a husband, have attempted to removed every piece of dignity they can, I believe she has major contempt for the process & good on her for showing this at times, its obvious she wants to piss everybody off - But I don't believe anybody at all has listened to her side of events, I can't find that anywhere - we are solely subjected to are the pathological winging of 50-60 year old white males - a few preppy Murdoch girls... And Dr Phil, Dr fuckin Phil - surely all we need now is Oprah to really set-up the school of rock ... Make Britney the Head-teacher... Owch!!! None of this plays out well to the public - its not so fundamentally important that it deserves this amount of coverage - so why do these so called "news organisations" bother & devote so much time to a story that, whichever way you read it, is simply about one girls rocky patch in life & a bunch of blokes without real jobs scamming her for money - hopefully she won't be so quick to share her hard earned that easily in the future - but she will survive... Although by the looks of things she is presently running an "If I go down then we all go down" campaign... and don't forget, she is not asking for anybody's money - I believe ownership of her own mind would be somewhat of an achievement for the girl at this point!!! The media needs to run the gauntlet on the following issues... 1. Dinosaurs - Sorry, they did exist & God did not put the bones there to test us!!! 2. Celestial Marriage - Hmm what should I call my planet??? 3. Clinton vrs Obama - who's the dealer ??? (but only one can supply Rush-lands) 4. Family Values - whatever happened to that one - new show on Nickelodeon 5. Is there anybody in sport not cheating, gambling or on drugs??? (gotta be careful with that one because of the major networks & their advertising bucks) Here's a challenge... If you make celebrity & profit from the so called demise of others - & you are also guilty of the same type of bad behaviour - then the punishment could be along the following lines... 50 lashes bare assed on the Bill O'Riley show - Followed by a lesson in honest accounting from one of the major record companies or any Wall St CEO - Complimented with model parenting & fidelity classes courtesy of Mayor Gulliani - Then if you are still a bad boy you will be sentenced to 6 months as Rush Limbaughs pill runner - who uses a dealer named Ohbummer... If you want the trailer class to behave - then you had better sort out the ruling class - cause' they make Britney look positively angelic ... As a final thought... She can come round our gaff anytime for a little sanctuary - because we don't allow anybody in unless we like them, regardless of their job title or perceived self-importance - & providing they are not asking for money or a Jehovah witnesses... It sounds to me that to many people knew where the keys were hidden and have been letting themselves in her backdoor for far to long - So its time to change the locks baby, & I can help with that, because I still have my carpenters tools from my days on the buiding sites...

Thanks for this. Glad to see something in her defence, cause this circus surrounding her is really getting ridiculous.. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Very well put Mr. Taylor. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

BEYOND ridiculous. yeah, I was looking for a better word, but couldn´t find one. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent.
