I knew that Klein was a scumbag before I read the book, but after doing some more reading about how he screwed Sam's children out of his publishing catalog, my feelings were cemented.

]]> Comment on Dream Boogieing with Sam Cooke by Sam's Neph http://www.fuzztonezine.com/?p=1289&cpage=1#comment-517 Sam's Neph Sat, 17 Jul 2010 13:37:08 +0000 http://jasonbugg.com/blog/?p=1289#comment-517 While I agree with you on the power of "Nothing Can Change This Love" (personally I think it's the simplicity of the song which makes it special), "Dream Boogie" painted Sam as dark, brooding, and almost despicable character at times. Truth is, author Peter Guralnick's character analysis and recollection of events were heavily attributed to Sam's infamous business manager and the one who has monopolized Sam's music catalog since his death, the late Allen Klein. I'm glad to see, however, you were able to look past some of the sleazy aspects of "Dream Boogie" and extract the good music and monumental accomplishments of a truly great artist and person like Sam Cooke.

Excellent work. I'm a regular reader but this is the first thing I've seen here that made me wanna comment. So, um, yeah. “Madonna exists to shock and titillate those around us who don’t have to courage to find actual shocking and titillating things.”

One is artistic social commentary the other is just blatantly sexual and a little gross. And while I feel Gaga definitely borrows way to much from Madonna and others, it isn't like Madonna was ever original herself. I’m far more shocked by the Lady Gaga video than the Madonna video.
