Blender truly is my guilty pleasure.
I’ve already posted about the Tim McGraw “Ask the Superstar” feature, mentioned some of the people the magazine chose as the sexiest women in music, and of course, there was the amusement over my letter to Blender but, this issue, the magazine even peaked my interest in Shakira. I never thought it possible.
I’m not prepared to type out the entire interview but there are certainly quotes to highlight:
“If a 25 year old woman tells you she isn’t flattered to be chosen the sexiest woman in music and put on the cover of a magazine like Blender, then I’m sorry, but she is lying,” she says. “ Of course it’s flattering. I can not deny that. And it is something to tell my children. Especially when I am old and covered in cellulite, which will happen one day.”
“It’s a game, isn’t it? We are like children, pop stars. We pose in front of the camera, we make videos, we get our hair and makeup done. It is like a little kid’s game, so full of glitter. Sometimes I feel like a Barbie doll: so many interviews, endless photo sessions. But never mind; I am well trained.”
“Also, I don’t want the emphasis to be on sexy, because being a singer is so much more than that. I want to provoke thoughts, not simply lust. I don’t want to sound cheesy, but I do feel it is important to relay such messages to the world.”
And then there’s a Q&A Rob Thomas who I already dig, though now I have a burning desire to rent some porn with him:
OK, so describe your taste in sex.
“Um, slightly deviant. I like it a little on the dirty side.”
Are you pulling hair, or having your hair pulled?
Oh, I like both. I like a little slap-around, both ways.
What’s your position on pornography?
I’m a fan of pornography. I’m a porn guy. Twice, my wife and I went into porn shops to check out some toys and some videos, and I got recognized. So I’m standing over a counter of dildos, signing an autograph. “I love your music, man.” “Great! Give me a cop of Afro-Whores and some Ben Wa balls, and I’ll sign for you.” Ha ha ha!
And a quote from “Nikki Sixx, Motley Crue member turned Backstreet Boy songwriter, ‘It’s a lesson in letting go.’”
Plus, they love moe. For over a year, my friend SL has been telling me that moe. is the best jam band ever. She’s trying to expose me. I’ve been fighting her. Maybe I was wrong. Funny that I need Blender to convince me.
But this magazine is constantly turning me on to new music. Never listened to Jurassic 5 before Blender. Or The Donnas.
It’s entertaining, sarcastic, informative, intelligent…
Before you ask, no, I am not a paid sponsor. I just love this fucking magazine. It is the only magazine I actively seek out when each issue goes on-sale.
And, coming from someone who works for a magazine distributor, that’s saying a lot.
To quote the quote on the spine of this month’s issue: “After all this, won’t you give me a smile?”
