ARTFLOP?

James Poulos in the Daily Beast recently wrote ‘From Lady Gaga to Jay-Z, “Serious”Art is Ruining Pop Music’

James laments poor “…Lady Gaga, whose ambitious and costly new record ARTPOP is, we are told, the year’s most important flop.” He then goes into a diatribe against artiness in pop music, ending with “That’s why Gaga and Jay-Z are foundering….”.






I love how James, instead of delivering evidence to support his contention that ARTPOP is a flop,, merely says “we are told”. It reminds me of the leftwing politicians and journalists who smugly claim that human CO2 emissions are causing global warming by referring to a ‘scientific consensus’, in spite of the fact that global average temperatures have not increased at all over the last 15 years.






Gaga’s flop, ARTPOP, is currently #1 on the Billboard chart. What does it take for an album to be a nonflop, go to #0?






And how do we describe the following albums by other artists, none of which reached #1 on Billboard. Are they Ultraflops?

Artist(s)	Album	Year Released	Highest Billboard Charting
Rolling Stones	Their Satanic Majesties Request	1967	2
Rolling Stones	Let it Bleed	1969	3
Led Zeppelin	IV	1971	2
Madonna	Bedtime Stories	1994	2
Eagles	Desperado	1973	41
Bee Gees	Children of the World	1976	8
Whitney Houston	I’m Your Baby Tonight	1990	3

Sigourney Weaver: Socialist Moonbat of the Week

I get a big tingle up my leg every time some Hollywood celebrity speaks out against 'big business' and in favor of serving 'the people'. Sigourney Weaver speaks out in favor of us poor proletarians:

"...the Democrats are always going to be about what the people need. And the Republicans are much more serving big business..."

So Sigourney, can the daughter of the former president of NBC be considered a member of the working class? How much money did you make from acting in the Aliens movies, the Ghostbusters movies, Working Girl, and Avatar?

You are a two-legged big business. And since the Democrats are doing what you want done, it is clear that is whom they are serving. You know nothing whatsoever about living on a modest income because you have never experienced that in your lifetime.

Dirty Pony, I can't wait to hose you down!
