Too Hot

 I find it strange when people talk about celebrities as though they are friends.  When their personalities are discussed, admired for their beliefs, or when people believe their character as truth.   This is not a rant about the overly processed parade of palatable misfits churned out for mass consumption.  I appreciate the process and all those who contribute to the molding of the fake humans we love so much.  But I will never look at a performer and think their actions or words are in any way real or without prompt.  I bring this up because the greater public, including myself find it distasteful when a star makes the facade known by acting out of character.  It's beyond irritating when pop stars become slightly self-aware and as a result get hard.  You have been molded like plastic, please stay in your candy coated shell where you belong.

This brings me to the point of this semi-rant, Alanis Morissette.  Morissette made all the moves that would generally cause me to roll my eyes.  She started off one way and we all know how she ended.  But in her case, I sincerely believe that every one of Morissette’s actions is her own.  I believe the heartache of Jagged Little Pill.  I believe it left her without the will to dance.  I believe that both Alanis’ coexist and the earlier didn’t require erasing for the other to get a little mad.  I also believe that the below video is Alanis hanging out with friends and a camera just happened to be present.
