Comments on: Amanda Palmer Creates High School Play Based On In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Destroys All That is Holy To Me http://radioexile.com/2009/04/01/amanda-palmer-creates-high-school-play-based-on-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea-destroys-all-that-is-holy-to-me/ Indie Music Reviews and Interviews Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:18:11 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Lee http://radioexile.com/2009/04/01/amanda-palmer-creates-high-school-play-based-on-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea-destroys-all-that-is-holy-to-me/comment-page-1/#comment-17397 Lee Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:17:57 +0000 http://radioexile.com/?p=79957#comment-17397 There is only one point to anything Amanda Palmer does; to promote herself in her continuing attempt to claw her way to the top of the heap. Which will never happen because Palmer is a clown... and not a funny, ha-ha clown, just a circus geek "bites the heads off chickens" kind of clown. What won't Amanda Palmer do to get attention? Nothing is too low for this joker. Prepare for years of internet posts about her bowel movements, her dildos, her tits, her latest STD, what she ate, who she's fucking, how a friend's death affected HER, ad nauseam. Now she's even got involved with Scientology. What is amazing is that there are always zombies ready to idolize someone as empty as Amanda Palmer.

If anything, it seems more disingenuous. But okay, whatever you say. By the way, this project wasn't Palmer's, it was the kids in Lexington. Palmer joined them and helped to shape their ideas. http://pulpandcircumstance.blogspot.com/2009/05/needle-is-still-singing-in-my-heart.html http://www.examiner.com/x-4150-Providence-Events-Examiner~y2009m5d14-High-School-theater-never-looked-so-good Tom,

I am obviously being facetious here. I don't care if Amanda Palmer makes this play! I think it's sort of a dumb idea but if she wants to expose kids to Aeroplane then good for her. Do I want to see it ? No, I prefer to keep the image of Aeroplane that I have in my head and not to subscribe to Amanda's. But seriously, this whole piece is a joke. I'm glad for any exposure or press that Jeff, Julian, Jeremy, and Scott get. They deserve to sell a million albums so they never have to work again. People! I am obviously being facetious here.

Zack and Eli are right. I understand your personal aversion to this concept, I do. Sometimes you just don't like the idea of an artist you dislike covering (for instance) an artist you do like. But to say that any piece of music is sacred - that's an idea I suspect Mangum would puke over. No, Tom. Zack and Eli are right. I understand your personal aversion to this concept, I do.
