Well What Careers Are Left?
So for the first time in a long time, Seal got interviewed. I hardly ever get to see any quotes from him that are not about his wife Heidi or the reason he has not had a hit song in forever. I like Seal. I like his music and considering I am a 30 second wonder, I have no problems with someone who is a one hit wonder. Except for James Blunt, but that just opens up things that we really shouldn't talk about today. I mean today is Monday and not go on a rant day about some guy who got lucky. There are one hit wonders who are great musicians who had great careers and for whatever reason only one song took off for the masses. I think Seal is great, just has not had his past successes repeated. James Blunt to me anyway, has no talent and is the true definition of a one hit wonder.
Now, with that being said, and all those nice things I said about Seal, I read the interview and wondered what he smoked before he gave it. The interviewer was asking him about his kids and what he wanted them to be when they grew up.
"I'd encourage my kids to do anything in life. As long as they don't aspire to become serial killers, porn stars or join the military then we’re good.
First of all, I see no problems in anyone joining the military. Obviously Seal has a problem with it, and that is opinion. Everyone can have an opinion. It is the other two things that just really freaked me out. Does he think his kids are on the path to becoming a serial killer or a porn star? Is this something he stays awake thinking about at night? And who has ever aspired to become a serial killer. "You know what dad, the whole fireman thing just doesn't appeal to me. I really want to focus on classes that will allow to me be a serial killer. I know the pay isn't great, but the job satisfaction is what I'm after."
This almost sounds like a joke, with no punch line. "An Army guy, a porn star and a serial killer walk into a bar..."
Wow. I really would have loved to have seen some followup questions to these, but as usual, there was nothing. I really thought the Mirror which is where the quotes came from would have had the guts to ask more questions, but they didn't. Is there anyone in this world who will ask a followup?
