“Joshua Radin is an up and coming songwriter who creates strong melodies with well-defined moods.” - Peter Gabriel

“Paris gets up on stage, has the people in charge throw her ‘record’ on the house stereo for her to lip sync two of her songs. She gets up on the stage, pukes, leaves…” - Joshua Radin

I am constantly seeing guys who have loads of talent and only a little fame latching onto women with no talent and lots of fame. I guess Joshua might have been put off by Paris Hilton’s behavior in this instance.

But picturing these two hanging out reminded me of how I feel about John Mayer and Jessica Simpson . It’s depressing that guys who have creative voices like this have public relationships with vacuous tabloid darlings. I guess I have to open to the idea that Paris and Jessica (who, yes, CAN sing) have more to offer in a relationship than it would appear through the media filter. Or it could be that when struggling musicians start getting invites to parties with celebrities they crave acceptance so badly that they make really bad decisions about who to date or socialize with. And, from the viewpoint of the ladies, there just aren’t enough Tommys and Kidds and Nicks to go around these days.
