"Sally Field doesn't speak for me"
I am as anti "god-damned" war as the next guy...but saying "sally Field" doesn't speak for me as some declaration of independent thought is like saying:
Marv Albert does not wear the same underwear as I do.
Who does Sally Field speak for - Forrest Freaking Gump?
So what I am saying is that this "Fierce mother" has chosen an odd thing to rant and rave about.
Anyway - I thought it might be good to identify some people who do not speak for me:
John Denver - Not just because he is dead, but for the Muppett shit - what a sellout.
Stephen Hawking - He might speak for me, but who the fuck can understand him?
Snoop Doggy Dogg - When he used to rap well, yes, he was, indeed a spokesman - but now he just kind of talks lazily - and thus cannot speak for me.
Daffy Duck - Too much spit.
And some others too
Beaker - See muppets and Stephem Hawking.
Mush Mouth from Fat Albert
People with hairl...errr - cleft palate - sadly, people who make other people laugh cruelly at them do not speak for me. Of course it is not the fault of the laugher, it is the fault of the person with the congenital defect...
I could go on and on about people who do not speak for me - Marilyn Manson, The Unabomber etc...but the overwhelming point here is that saying that Sally Field does not speak for me does not say much about the writer either way except that she is a righteously indignant bitch - and I am glad she is not my "mommy" - the word "fierce"is a long cry from "oatmeal cookie after school"
Saying "Sally Field does not speak for me" is like saying "Melissa Etheridge does not make me think when she sings her global warming song"
She does make me think when she sings "Come to my window" and I am in the room with the lady who used to be a lesbian but now she is not like Anne Heche - and I am caught like the Allman Bros in "One Way Out" - You know "Cause there's a man down there / might be your man / I don't know" - and Melissa is crooning and I am hiding in the closet huddled with the ex who has tossed her flannel shirts and Indogo Girls records and I am shaking because Melissa sounds kind of pissed...
Anyway her stalker songs do make me think but the global warming does not - since it does not involve lesbians at all - and it sucks like other political songs [Except for Public Enemy and Rage against The Machine, those are good, but Joan Baez and her morose croonings do suck - I bet Joan Baez does not speak for Mommie Dearest either.
