Sleeping Schedules and Rich Girls
Well, it’s official. Since I started sleeping as often as possible to purge myself of this virus I have, my body no longer knows what time zone to expect from me. So, here we are at 3am discussing Paris Hilton.
Paris Hilton? Yes, that’s right. I was driving back from a night in Manhattan last week when I heard her new !song! on the radio, complete with the program manager from Z100 explaining her decision to play the song. Of course, they all fully admitted they edited the song "a lot" to get it to its current state of - um, quality. If you’re curious, you can play it on (where else?) www.parishilton.com. You can even check out her new video there. Of course I was curious, but she does nothing but practically have sex with a hunky guy on the beach. I think my favorite line is, "If you show me real love, baby, I’ll show you mine." Ha ha ha. Classic Paris Hilton.
Why am I talking about this? Well, the Z100 DJ’s brought up a very interesting question. Would this song play on the radio if she were just some random girl from Oklahoma? Her new single didn’t make me vomit, but it wasn’t exactly the best piece of music I’ve ever heard.
Of course not! It is interesting though, living in America, where the poor really do get poorer and further in debt. As nice as it would be to "make it big" someday and have the ability to buy my dad his dreamboat (sailboat, that is) one Father’s Day, right now I’m working toward the goal, living in a house with 4 other people and getting - that’s right - further in debt and my master’s degree.
As for Paris, it would seem that the rich and famous have nothing better to do but to find ways to make them even more rich and famous. We all know she’s not a singer, but she sure does know how to keep getting attention, doesn’t she?
And by the way, I do like my pipe dream and the way I have to work to try to achieve it. I am performing, and I know I can sing. ;) As for my popular listening choices, I think I’ll stick to Christina Aguilera’s new single - "Ain’t No Other Man." It’s much more fun - and with a girl who can sing and worked hard to get there at a young age. Good for her - and even for me, despite my smaller fan base.
