The debates that surround authenticity have no relationship to popular music as it’s been practiced for more than a century. Artists write material, alone or with assistance, revise it, and then present a final work created with the help of professionals who are trained for specific and relevant production tasks. This makes popular music similar to film, television, visual art, books, dance, and related areas like food and fashion. And yet no movie review begins, “Meryl Streep, despite not being a Prime Minister, is reasonably convincing in ‘The Iron Lady.’

best. cat. ever. (sorry, harriet.)

reviewofmycat:

Cat: Willow

Owners: David, Larry (Jon and Whitney)

Appearance: F

The dirty little vagabond considers personal hygiene an antiquated notion. There is dried feces [insert preposition] her fur. Stinky dirty fur. The rogues fur. That’s where she kept it, her dirty little secret. Short, balding, devious. Her name is Willow, she killed my mother.

Sociability: F

The animal truly means well, but she gets in too many fights with people to appreciate her erotic qualities. By “people” I mean the floor.

Usefulness: F

Take it or leave it.

Huggability: F

See my assessment on my cat’s appearance. She’s a big, overgrown monster always thinking about food. 

Overall Grade: F

[Ed. note: Based on this grade, Review of My Cat cannot officially recommend this cat, even if she does seem kind of amazing.]

love this.
