Lyle Lovett has recorded the theme song to the awful-looking upcoming musical satire Walk Hard: The Legend Of Dewey Cox with the help of Jewel, Jackson Browne, and ... Ghostface Killah. (Somewhere my pal John's throat just clenched without knowing why.) The brief description of said song in this Rolling Stone interview has rendered me momentarily ... something:
"I had met Jackson years ago and he's always been really kind to me over the years. And I had met Jewel but I had never sung with her. She was great to work with. And it was the first time to meet Ghostface Killah. It was very cool, he's very cool. There's a breakdown in our version, in the middle of it, where Jewel yodels and he raps over that."
Well, that's it. There is nothing Kanye can ever to do top that for awesomely awful collaborations with wack-ass white people. Ever. Sorry, 'Ye. Swedish whistling shrivels and dies in the face of Alaskan gap-toothed yodelling. Holy crap. I mean, what??

Come on, it doesn't look that bad. Just the trailer is better than Talladega Nights.
The movie will probably be a slog, but the trailer is dead on about biopics. Especially with the song "inspirations" and the sixties being an important and exciting time.
I wish Apatow would get around to making Advantage Agassi.
Man, don't dis the lady's teeth. She didn't grow 'em that way on purpose.
I actually thought that Walk Hard looked really funny. Surely it's better than the absolutely bizarre Talladega Nights.
The idea of Ghostface Killa rapping over Jewel's yodeling makes me certain that life is worth living. It's so ridiculously off the wall and utterly perfect that I'm sort of bummed Kanye didnt already jack it and put it on a mixtape.
Nothing is better than 'Talladega Nights.'
1) walk hard looks funny
2) this song sounds interesting now
3) talladega nights wasn't that good, almost bad
Whatevs. Jackson Browne f'ing rocks.
