On what planet is Camille Paglia a "feminist icon?" Most feminists (and thinking people) revile her.

Camille Paglia IS wrong all of the time. The KC song of which is speaks is quite clearly a mind-bendingly shoddy rip-off of Radiohead's Exit Music (For a Film). KC has the all the songwriting savvy of a solipsistic 14 year old. She is not a cultural vanguardist, she is a nardbag. And to Paglia, failing to pick up on this, actually rating the song... For those who remember Julie Burchill's riposte to Paglia during the infamous Modern Review fax-war of '93 - I won't quote it because it's terribly rude - it applies here once again. Hurmph!

Labels should hire Paglia to endorse their competitors' releases.

Jess: what class did you have CP for? I had her for Shakespeare. I feel like we've discussed this before...

God-DAMN that was annoying.

Ms. Paglia, Terrence Malick would like a word with you...

...as would Robert Altman's ghost.

My favorite CP rant is on why Madonna sucks. Keep an eye out for why she doesn't dance to dance music. The pretension just kills me!

She doesn't know what live production actually means. I highly doubt that Kelly Clarkson and company headed into the studio and laid it down Motown-style.

She also digs Paul Van Dyk, so bear that in mind.

I hate to be a dick about this, but she could spend the rest of her life shunning the press, feeding the homeless, macrameing clothes for Guatamalan children, planting geraniums in Detroit, whatever, IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE, nothing she can do will ever make up for all the years of attention-whore sophistry she's inflicted on the public.

So much for true love,
I'll take the chivas instead.,
Oh,
I'll take the chivas instead,
Oh your bad,
It wasn't even good,
Trust me

I must've been so, so, so, so, so, lonely,
You are crap
Yeah
You should keep your eyes on your new little brat
Yeah

....this does sound like a conversation that would happen in Irvine.

Does saying Paglia "has never, ever been right about anything ever" mean we have a Dworkin fan in our midst? Or does it mean that nobody should love the new Star Wars?
