Well, it seems someone at the John Paulus Swamp didn't like my pic of a bunch of losers holding on to their identity (crotch) so they decided to do a little hacking. JP wanted total credit so this is what he left me in the comment section and I like to oblige by giving him credit for criminal acts originating from the swamp:
***JohnPaulus has left a new comment on your post "Embracing One's Self Identification":

Seems he had someone go directly from the swamp, into my blog, and then into where the photo was stored. I love this...sitemeter is a wonderful thing:

So who is Ricky Smith? Why would someone from Quebec want to mess with my blog and a perfectly good depiction of the people involved in the most diabolical smear campaign against a celebrity.

Well, hey! I had to replace the pic with something so I guess the truth is as good as anything.

RETIRE CLIVE AND CLEAN UP RADIO
It seems that Clive Davis is taking himself a little too seriously in his role of God's Gift to Recording. Perhaps this feeling of superiority is a delusion that comes with aging but in his case I think it's a precursor to senility.. or perhaps he just thinks he's all that.
There comes a good time in everyone's professional life when an exit can be made with dignity but Clive has missed that boat, in my opinion. Remaining effective in a position such as his one needs an open mind. Claiming to have one's finger on the pulse of music buyers should never be confused with having said finger stuck in one's own antiquated ass. If Clive would breathe in deeply he'd realize that what he is smelling isn't money.
Let's talk about the music buyers, or should I say music lovers? Clive has lost that Lovin' Feelin'. The man has become more about control and his tactic is Control by Abuse: abuse of payola, abuse by catering to Clear Channel, and abuse of his bread and butter meaning the artists. I am a music buyer and a music lover although my choices have become very limited because of the likes of Clive Davis and what radio and the music awards have become (PAYOLA DRIVEN), thereby only exposing me, the public, to the music of the highest bidders who vie for 15 slots on CC's play list (via illegal payola). Payola sucks!
RCA and other labels wonder why they are taking drastic financial hits... and not for the good of their investors. Well....duhhhhhhh! What do you get when you add up payola, monopoly, mediocrity, and antiques? The loudest bunch of horseshit, ever, guaranteed to make your ears bleed and you hear it over and over and over by the same 15 artists. As a direct result the music award shows are giving the awards to the same artists and because so few others are heard on the radio they (the 15) are nominated for their genre and outside their genre where it makes no sense whatsoever.
A DJ left a post on an American Idol forum in answer to fans requesting play for Idol artists and here is what's happening in commercial radioland, not that we didn't already know it.
"It's not so much that they hate street team activity, it's more that we can NOT act on it for the most part. You will find a station here and there that is independent where they make their own playlists, but for the most part radio is automated and preprogrammed and the jocks have absolutely NO SAY in what gets played (no pay the big guy, no play for the artist). We answer request lines because it keeps people tuned to the station, we tell the person we'll play the song even if we don't have it because it keeps you tuned in for longer than you might tune in normally. Stations want you to hear the commercials, not the songs."
Next I want to bring you this from someone who used to work for CC:
"Clear Channel is also very big on out-of-market voice tracking. This means that the DJ you hear on your station (s) may or may not even be local, but a jock from a larger market such as Denver that pre-records his show for playback at a certain time. They are faxed information about the city so they sound like they live there."
So that's the name of that tune! Get PISSED!
What is all this leading to in my diatribe about Clive Davis? As a friend and Equalizer put it, he just had a little Texas Spit-Fire kick him in the nuts (okay, so she didn't put it that way). Those shriveled danglies had to be sore already after Clay put his size 13s to them last year. Granted, Clive was going to win both the battles but he'll retire with a couple of well deserved battle scars and a crimped dick. Kelly and Clay know their audiences and what they want. We'll take anything Clay has to offer but we know he wanted to go outside the box Clive is trying to put him in and I'm sure Kelly was confident about what she was doing when she toed CLive's groin.
Why are labels losing money? Because moguls like Clive can't get out of their boxes or away from their own egos.
WHY would Clive Davis even care WHAT the artists record when he can BUY airplay for someone farting the National Anthem and have it go multiplatinum?
Labels are also losing money because of the way the artists are being bent to one person's egotistical will. Where it used to be a battle of the wills between the boss and the artist, now other outlets are being used to smear innocent kids in order to beat them into submission. Nasty, nasty man using nasty, nasty gay gossips and gay hitmen and Clive made sure Clay was surrounded by them. Can't wait to see who Kelly draws as a hitman or hitwoman.
Lest we forget, I direct you back in time to this excellent blog article:

Clive, YOU ARE TOO TRANSPARENT. RETIRE, you bastard!
