La Verita
I am a half kuwaiti/half american girl living in Kuwait.
I am perpetually suspended in the granite hollow that fills the space between two worlds...
Not quite who I am, not quite who I want to be... Cat-lover, poet, music-nut.
I currently hold a PHD in both BS and Smartass. In short, I pitch my tent in the median of life..

Occupation: Freak
Have you noticed how practically every artist who has reached or passed the 30 year mark in their career is, unquestionably, a FREAK??
What is it about freaks? They are, in their own ways, undeniably talented and, yet, there is something, unconnected to the music, about them that grabs our attention and refuses to let go. Seriously, the safe, predictable, stable artists never have careers that last for more than a decade at the most. The FREAKS, it would seem, never die... Some of these artists are positively ancient! and yet, there they are shaking their asses like it was 1979!
Let's review the evidence, shall we?
..........................................................
From Virgin to Erotica to Frozen... Is there anyplace this b*tch has dared not go?
Those lips... That body ... *shudders* ... The Rooster....
A living legend... undeniably a freak of nature.... Was there a better "feel-good" song than Crocodile Rock?
Correction: There was and it was called "Wake me up before you go-go".... In my opinion, the most original, talented artist of our time... The smooth vocals, the beyond-honest lyrics, the catchy melodies and hypnotic videos.
With George Michael, no two decades were ever alike...
And the father of all FREAKS....
Whether you believe he did it or not, you still bop your head to Billie Jean... You still scream along with Dirty Diana... and, whether you admit it or not, you still tear up a bit at Man in the Mirror. Unquestionably, the most famous man in the world. The quintessential show man. The artist with the most trademarked moves of all time. The one, the only... The freakiest of Freaks...
The freaks are the artists that have survived. The freaks are the ones who refuse to fade out of the boundaries of our collective awareness. The freaks are the ones who challenge us... The ones who force the evolution of our musical tastes... The ones who illuminate, enlighten and elucidate... They are the ones who have stood by us, providing us with something to relate to... The ones we grew up with and who remain dear and familiar to us as we move through our lives... They document our experiences.. And their songs.. their songs are like little tabs on our lives, whenever we hear one of them, it invariably takes us back to the hour, the day, the event that is forever embedded in 2-3 minutes of pulse, bass and emotion.
To the freaks of days gone by.... I salute you.
Vive Le Freaks!

Ooooh so that's why you were going on and on about freaks. FREAK!
Actually this post makes me want to burst out into song..FREAK OUT!
Tooomz ze 1st
lol damn you toomz, now i got that song stuck in my head!
it even extends beyond music, cos the freakism you speak of is probably the "it" thing, the x factor.
andif theyre not carefull, they evolve into car crashes,... horrid but you cant take your eyes off em.
plus we all enjoy watching them an going wtf are you doing?!?!?! :P
Hahahahhaha Skunk!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Car accidents make me think of buggy accidents make me think of the freak.
toomz> I love ze freaks ;)
skunk> most of them were born car crashes! I don't think wacko jacko was ever normal! :P
tinkerbell> welcome, freak ;)
diigmaa> how could I forget boy george?!!? You know what I heard yesterday in Debenhams? kama kama kama chameleooooon :P
Lol! KD everyone's leaving your page with songs stuck in their head huh?
I got that chameleon thingie stuck in my head now, xept that it seems to have more kama's whne I sing it!!!!!
BTW, bounced by to tell you to check out U2'S bloody sunday n Where the stars go blue... Unless you've lost the U2 phase (hey n they never reached Freak-zone) did they?
jitterbug> yeah I guess everyone's got the groove! :P
it does have mroe kama's but seriously how many more could I put? :P
I will check out the songs! I still love U2... but they are kinda normal.... even though they are fabulously talented! :D
Oh my God...it just dawned on me...I'm in love with freaks...!!! They're all my favorite....so the question oughtta be ...why do we love these freaks??!!!!...I love your comment about Madonna...so true...is there anywhere that bitch hasn't dared to go....damn I envy her!
actually, the beatles were one fo the first freaks with their haircuts, weird side to side bopping and screaming their songs. yellow submarine? lol wtf was that about? the whole movie was nuts!
amazingly it was the beatles who were one fo the first boybands :P
and lennon was a nutjob just for dating that damn yoko! :P
i think sheryl crow played in MJ's band. something musta rubbed off:P
I think that is why shows like American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance caps off the contestant limit at the age of 30...hmmmMmm
7> interesting question... and no lil john don't count!
misscosmo> we love'em cos they're talented!
k> if MJ doesn't count, no one does! :P
skunk> ur absolutely right... my apologies! :D
caff> possibly... also if they let anyone over 30 on so u think u can dance, they make break something :P
