A quote from a local college radio station host, that did a semester-long show based on Bungle & similar bands: "Mike Patton could fart on a snare drum, and I'd pay good money to go see it."
Thoughts? Feelings?

MY ANSWER:

That is idiotic for a couple reasons. The first question that comes to mind is ‘why?’ I can’t image that would be a good thing to see, not to mention have any merit. Also, it’s been done so it wouldn’t be original either.
More importantly, is this host implying that the flatulence of said artist holds the same merit as his music? Doesn’t that belittle the music? I wonder how this guy got the position of a radio host. Also, if this person has “good money” to spend on something that would last a matter of seconds, why aren’t they spending it on something with some actual value? Honestly, people who put anyone up on a pedestal loose my respect immediately. I wouldn’t want to receive a compliment nor a payment from anyone who would just as well get the same out of bodily functions as they would some thoughtful invention.
