And the loser is ... James Taylor? Sure to raise the ire of Sweet Baby James fans everywhere, Blender magazine has placed the sensitive folk-rocker atop its list of the 25 biggest wusses ever. The roster in the August issue (on newsstands Tuesday) accuses Taylor of initiating "an era of confessional, listen-to-my-troubles singer/songwriters and turn(ing) self-examination into a hallmark of the baby-boom generation."
Who else deserves wedgies? Nick Lachey, at No. 2, for a post-divorce disc that "wallows in so much misery and self-pity it makes Morrissey sound like the Pussycat Dolls."
Next are Dan Fogelberg, Boyz II Men, Peter Cetera, Kenny G, Rascal Flatts, Babyface and Chris Martin of Coldplay. His wussiest moment? "Being derided as 'a bit wimpy' by noted ruffian Charlotte Church." In 10th place is Hilary Duff, "a sex- and drug-free sprite best summed up by the name of her next movie character: Sunshine Goodness."
A round-up of sissy songs includes Taylor Hicks' Do I Make You Proud and You're Beautiful by James Blunt, "this generation's Debby Boone, only not as pretty."
Some do. I also know sweet, beautiful women attracted to cruel or unfaithful men. I think some people find mean sexy. After 22 years of marriage, I can say that nice guys do NOT finish last, they are definitely the best. :-)
Duh - I told you that 3 years ago.
