Follow your intuition?

One more thing before I go off and pretend to actually have a life today...

Does anyone but me find it supremely satisfyingly irritating that Jewel, who pretends to be being all ironic in her video for "Intuition" by commenting on how celebrities "sell themselves" but that if they just "follow their heart" they'll be all okay and stuff, but then, there's the little intuition razor, which uses Jewel's song, and seems to have come out with the little intuitionsong campaign before Jewel released her song? (Boy that is a long sentence. Just read it twice). It seems like maybe she wrote this song about selling out (making fun of it) while she was, in turn, selling out? I mean, I get it. You were homeless in your quest to become a big famous rock (not really) star. And you're a deep poet. Yeah. Sure. Why do I like the honest celebrities who don't apologize for selling out much better? Or don't try to pretend that being a sell out is not their actual JOB. (That's the point, entertainers-- selling stuff. Didn't you read the contract old Beelzebub asked you to sign?)

Okay. Now I feel better.
