Simon Cowell presents his version of the Gong Show, where is poor Chuck Berris

I am back. I forgot to get to shit yesterday so I am making up for it today. It is more of a bullshit post with little of interest but here I go anyway. I was watching, why I do not know, that NBC show by Simon Cowell of American Idol fame "America's Biggest Talent" or something like that. It is like Idol except it emcompasses all manner of "talent" and has three judges, David Hasselhoff, who appeared to be drunk at times, Brandy playing the role of Paula Abdul, and some other British dude. They all have a buzzer to buzz the people off.

All I can say is this. I think I liked it better when they called it "The Gong Show". Other than putting it together, Simon Cowell has just ripped off Chuck Berris and his Gong Show. I am thinking that this makes Brandy, Jaye P Morgan. Juicy Jaye P Morgan, why was she "famous" (another Charo type question there) anyway, did flash her tits in "The Gong Show Movie" which I am ashamed to say that I saw in the theatre. The mitigating factor there was that I was 14 or 15, it was R rated, and I got in. When you are underage, you will pay to see the fruit of the forbidden tree, no matter how much it stinks and disappointing it is. It is the thrill of breaking the rules. The joke was obviously on me and my companion, an old friend with whom I had a sort of a falling out. That is a story for another day.

There was some talent there but I wonder about it. A few of these people would make good street performers or buskers. Others look like they would be best suited to Vegas acts, which is not a bad thing. The show sucks, but it is summer and there is nothing on the tube now that hockey and basketball are done. Do not say World Cup because that does not count for me, so it is meaningless to me at least.

Well, just thought I would mention that and now I must run. Ciao!
