Review: Justin Timberlake - Live At Boulevard 3/Hollywood CA

[DudeAsInCool]

Blogger The Passion of Weiss reviews Justin's most recent show in all it's GLORY This is another must read - here is an excerpt:

..."Timberlake, backed by a group of talented session musicians, had broken into a tepid and nausea-inducing version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit. " The entire time he spent mangling one of my favorite childhood songs, I had considered Kurt Cobain and his shotgun.

And how with three precision-placed bullets, anyone could play their own version of Dick Cheney goes hunting. Except rather than take out some lame-duck Texas lawyer, the assassin in question, could carefully snipe Timberlake, Levine and Hilton, thereby eliminating three of the power players in the scab-infested world of pop culture in 2006. It was a question almost akin to being in Berlin, Germany in a beer hall in the late 20's. Some jackass with a Junior varsity mustache is approaching you, telling you his name's Adolph and that he hates the Jews and those filthy gypsies. We all know that murder is wrong but still....

Now I'm not advocating the murder of innocent-in-name only pop stars, nor am I really comparing cultural holocaust to a real one. Those are wild accusations to make, even for me. Though watching this sham show, that old refrain from Bob Dylan popped into my head: "if my thought dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine."

I think we actually have a guillotine around here somewhere...who wants to do the honors? :)
