The Beatles vs. Dostoyevsky
What is with people and preconceptions? I mean come the fuck on. I wanna talk about two recent arguments: The Beatles and Dostoyevsky. And yes, I know some of you are going “Oh shit… again!?”
Anyway… why do I have to automatically like something because a lot of other people do too?
Take The Beatles for example… highly overrated. I think they’re a piss-poor excuse for a band. They play stupid whoopty-fucking-doo songs for hillbillies. The only real talent in the band was Lennon, of course, who in my opinion made it by himself better then he ever did with the band. (too bad he fucked it all up with Yoko Loko later on…). Anyway, Alecu made a great point at the Irish Pub a week ago, by saying they were trend-setters back in the 60′s. They were new, edgy, people fell for it. I get it and I totally agree!
But Today. Now. June 26th 2009… The Beatles suck!
The other great preconception of “all times” (as I recently discovered) is that if you don’t like the works of the russian writer Dostoyevsky, you’re pretty much a redneck…
“Ohhh… well he’s a russian classic, you have to like his works!” Why do I have to like a suicidal type writer with heavy morbid tendencies? Why do I have to find it wonderful to read about feverishly dramatized scenes? Why do I have to like overly scandalous characters?
Don’t get me wrong, I respect his immense contribution to the world as well as his formidable achievements, but I don’t need him shoved down my throat on any account!
I’ll pick my own winners, thank you…
