I was looking for the John Prine and Bonnie Raitt duet performance of "Angel from Montgomery", since I wanted to hear a well performed depressing song before I went to bed.
But, every single link I could find with their names in it was some other clowns using their names to get their pitiful out of tune performances a better chance of getting played.
GRRRRRRRRRR….
So I settled for having to listen to John and Bonnie sing separately. Which is great, don't get me wrong!

Unfortunately, I clicked on this, and got all un-depressed:

To make things worse, I clicked on a whole bunch from the same concert, and am now just so darn happy, it's disgusting.

Ok. You are only happy when you're miserable.

Hmm. Should we start calling you Oscar now?

If you want misery listen to some real music like early black sabbath or Megadeath, not some old sotted tart like bonnie raitt who couldn't sing her way out of a karioki bar in downtown Tokyo…

At least that search has a good probability of not getting Rickrolled. Last week I got Jesus-rolled, clicked on a video and it was some street preacher talking about giving up the smut and that you must give you life to Jesus. Hey do what you want but don't label a video along the lines of "Bikini babes on trampolines" and then give me a gospel reading.

If you don't know Rickrolled here's the Wiki page.

So it is similar to being Zardozed.

I hate the annoying spammers who try to convert me to Islam or Creationism flooding certain search terms.

What annoys me are the idiots who create the videos by simply pointing a camera at their TV.

Not only do we get horrible video and sound quality, they never put the camera on a solid surface. They always hold it so we get to enjoy the headache inducing "shaky cam" effect.

Why even bother.

Obviously you are joking.
If you are serious, you evidently have no appreciation of real music, having listened in your youth to too many whistling dog farts while in your cups.

The Youtube Comments often border on the surreal.

You could just go and buy the song on iTunes. It is only $.99 USD probably, well worth it for something that you want to hear. Next time you won't even have to go to the internet for it.

Or buy the album, even better, then you get a bunch of songs.

I hate those people who believe it is their holy mission to force us to spend every waking second of our lives thinking about the tragedy that is the death of Michael Jackson …

Pphalen;I know the feeling. Some of the stuff I'd been looking at has that "removed by user" or some other on it.
