Post-ironic meltdown

This is the kind of video that makes you wonder why you even woke up this morning.

Iggy & the Stooges perform at the RnR Hall of Fame ceremony. Two Madonna songs - "Burning Up", and "Ray of Light". Iggy's collaboration with Sum 41 was rock-scum-bottom for me, but this... this is something else. The Hall had a load of fucking balls asking these guys to play when they haven't even been inducted. I can only imagine Iggy heading off stage straight into his SUV back to his mansion and champagne. In the good old days, he would have been cutting his chest open with broken glass, pissing all over the stage and audience, and making lewd and lascivious comments at Madonna. The headline would have been excellent - "Godfather of Punk woos Queen of Pop".

If only.

Train wreck alert:



This is possibly... possibly... the worst thing you will see, hear, or witness all year. If you didn't think rock was dead, this video should be the final toss of dirt upon the final nail in the coffin upon the 50th bludgeon after a fall from 30,000 feet.

The world of popular music has officially imploded on itself. All is lost.

I must now go wash my eyes. My soul needs cleansing.
