from this week's Entertainment Weekly:
<blockquote>
''Anyone can sit down and write some boring artistic song,'' says Britney Spears. ''Pop music is the hardest s--- to write.''</blockquote>
i have NO idea what she means by that. is she debating the merits of sitting down to write a boring artistic song vs. standing up to write a (hopefully not boring) artistic song? or is she just inviting everyone to write a boring artistic song? um, while sitting down. if pop music is the hardest s--- to write, maybe that explains why there are so many really bad pop songs. written while sitting down. OTOH there is that barry manilow song that starts out with that classical piece, which is kind of artistic because it is based on classical music. but barry manilow is such a manly man that me probably stood up to write his boring artistic song.
anyway, i dunno how britney feels about non-boring artistic songs.
