I have a younger brother, Damian who’s a hard working dad and a hell of a sense of humor. Sometimes his humor contains some interesting wisdom.
One time discussing favorite rock bands, Damian came up with a theory. Basic, yet profound. “The best rock music was created by guys who were ugly!”
I had to give it some thought and you know what, he’s friggin right!
You want proof? OK!
The Rolling Stones-These were the Stones in their younger days…Forget now, they were homely looking guys even then! Seriously!
KISS-You know why they wore makeup?
THAT’S WHY!
Motorhead (Look at Lemmy! Just look at him!)
Punk’s pioneers:
Iggy Pop and The Stooges
The Ramones
The Sex Pistols
I rest my case!
And, yet…they created some of the best damm rock music EVER!
Oh sure, you say, what about Elvis? Or The Beatles? They’re handsome! They laid the foundation of rock n’ roll! Well the kids though they were handsome, but their parents thought they were ugly JUST ON THEIR HAIRDOS ALONE!
And why does my brother’s theory hold water? Simple. When you look ugly yet you have even a nugget of talent, you work twice as hard to hone your artistic skills. Add in the fact that you’re angry at the world that all the pretty boys get chicks just by good looks alone! You show those pretty boys that if you’re talented enough, original enough and hungry (and horny) enough, you can shine like a supernova!
Oh and to back up the opposite end of the theory, that crappy music is done by good looking people:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The current Antichrist of music!
THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE! Thank you and good night!
