Washington Post wrongly claims Trump officials said Billie Eilish is ‘destroying our country’
New York Post ^ | October 30, 2020 | Lia Eustachewich

A Washington Post story wrongly claimed the Trump administration accused Billie Eilish of “destroying our country” — then spread like wildfire among the entertainment industry.

The article on Thursday — in part about hundreds of celebrities being vetted for a Trump administration coronavirus ad campaign — included a misattributed quote from the White House about Eilish.

SNIP

The flub was picked up by Vice editor Jill Krajewski, who noted that “an embarrassing number of music outlets” including Complex, NME, Consequence of Sound and The Fader aggregated the misreported Washington Post story.

First picture I ever saw of her, she looked like the girl coming out of the well in The Ring movie. Can’t ever get that image out of my head when her name comes up.

I can appreciate alternative music. I really can. I was one of the first people who latched on to Nine Inch Nails in the very late 1980’s. I enjoyed the heck out of 1990’s and 2000’s “urban contemporary”, like “Get Low” from Li’l John and the East Side Boys.

But this music just sucks. Her voice isn’t all that AT ALL.

She was slickly produced. And was quite well received by her target audience.

The China virus put an end to her touring. And probably her career.

The same socialist a&&holes who refuse to acknowledge the Bidens’ corruption are still running with fake news and unsubstantiated rumors to steal yet another election.

How is anyone supposed to hum that in their head?

I thought A View To A Kill had a bad theme song.

Her very early songs online with her brother were good and she seemed like a sweet young girl. Then her music went viral, the music industry took hold of her and her look became dark and full of angst.

Reminds me of this from Casablanca

Ugarte: You despise me, don’t you?

Rick: If I gave you any thought I probably would

I saw her on Austin City Limits. She isn’t my cup of tea.

I listen to a lot of alternative....and pop. Just got really tired of hearing the same old rock over and over. I can’t stand her. When she comes on I switch stations.

Anyone who still regards the ComPost as a news source is brain-dead.
