Do you still remember rock singer
Shirley Manson? She was the singer who wrote an open letter to blast Kanye West about his Grammy stunt against singer Beck (
Read that here).
Well it seems Kanye West replied her privately but Shirly ain’t having
none of that nonsense. She has publicly come out against Kanye again in a
new open letter. Read what she wrote below.
Dear He who shall remain nameless,’ ‘It is with great sadness that I read your email today’
‘What alarms me more than anything about
your nasty little barbs is that you are in the business of representing
artists interests and yet you are clearly unaware that not all musicians
are obsessed with the charts or being famous.
‘That some of us do not value ourselves by the number of mainstream ‘hits’ we have enjoyed.
‘That some of us just enjoy making music and having a long lifespan of a career
without having to dance as fast as we can, or be the loudest clown in
town or be having to hitch ourselves to the latest, greatest, freshest
sound in order to remain ‘on top.”
There are even some of us who do not
believe that being famous is the holy grail or the answer to a
beautiful, meaningful and rewarding life.Clearly you are unable to wrap your head around the idea that some musicians actually prefer NOT having to perform on Children’s TV shows.
‘Who do NOT want to be gossiped about in
the popularity contest columns. Who most definitively do NOT want to be
chased by paparazzi and who do NOT want to put their family name to some
s****y , poorly made product in order to build a “brand” and who most
definitely do NOT want to go out every night, dressed up to the nines to the opening of an envelope.’
‘So allow me to make my choices
as I see fit without having to endure your childish and un-evolved
criticism. As you so rightly pointed out, there are plenty of talented
people in the world who will sell their grannies to serve your desires.
‘So now then sir, that all said, Go F*** yourself.
