Touch My Me
11 04 2008
This post did start out as an April Fools joke, but it is now a full week and a half past that excuse and I’d be the first to admit that since then I have paddled way too far into dangerous water. If the truth can set me free then let this is my get out of jail free card, so here it is… I bought Carey’s hit song from iTunes but I didn’t stop there, I attempted to make “Touch My Body” into poetry…
Yonah Korngold over at Merry Swankster follows the footsteps of John Cage who supposedly ‘wrote through’ James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake, but choosing a more curvaceous muse in the form of Mariah and her latest US-chart-topping opus.
If you liked that, you might enjoy Carl Wilson’s contribution to the 33 1/3 series on classic albums: Céline Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste. You will learn to strangely respect the Quebec chanteuse and be doubled up by the final chapter.
Thanks for the good words!
I haven’t seen the 33 1/3 on Ms. Dion yet but it sounds like a must read.
Your unit price is ONLY 99 cents?
Woo! Online when you were! I don’t know where Yonah is, but in Yurp it’s 99 Euro cents. And that is $1.58. Hey! No fair!!!!
Meanwhile, Paul Morley meets Mariah Carey, as only Paul Morley can: http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/story/0,,2273934,00.html
The thing is, she actually seems quite sane in the interview. Maybe she does ‘get the joke’.
