"The Has-Been Who Never Was"


Recommended Posts

He/she was, at one time, probably respected somewhat as a "player's player", and such may still be the case to a lesser extent, by those who have heard his/her music. However, his/her solo material never made the BILLBOARD charts.

He/she once had a brief association with a famous band. Nepotism may have played a part with the temporary membership.

He/she has fancied himself/herself to be a socio-political commentator, writing a number of screeching screeds on a regular basis.

In one of the "commentaries", he/she lampooned the cancer affliction of a national personality.

He/she has alluded to the possibility of being under the influence of alcohol when some of his/her commentaries have been written.

Some readers of his/her "commentaries" have lampooned right back at him/her, responding with sardonic comments like "Don't hold back---tell us how ya really feel!"

He/she is on a short list of musicians that I would decline to interview if given the opportunity to do so. Sometimes you have to stand for something...even something as trivial as not being interested in profiling a musician who, in my opinion, fits the title of this thread (and there are probably others who conform to the title as well, for various and sundry reasons).

To plagiarize Paul Harvey, he/she might want his/her name mentioned, but that ain't gonna happen. You're free to guess who I'm talking about, however.

It's the first thing I think of when I hear "screeching" and "social-commentary" together.

I don't think this phrase quite fits her :rolleyes:
