Beck Blasts Jacko on New Album
If Michael Jackson didn't like Eminem's "Just Lose It" video, I imagine he won't be too thrilled to hear Beck's new song "Scarecrow."
The song is included on the rocker's new album, "Guero," which will be released tomorrow. The much-hyped CD turned up in some retail locations like Starbucks over the weekend.
"Scarecrow" leaps off the album because it begins with eerie sound effects like those from "Thriller," then is sung to what suspiciously recalls the bass line from Jackson's famous hit "Billie Jean" — so much so that Beck could wind up providing Jackson with some cash since there is no credit for a sample in the "Guero" booklet.
But the lyrics to "Scarecrow" — an obvious reference to the lanky, thin, Judy Garland- and "Wizard of Oz"-obsessed Jackson — are what really hit home:
"Sometime the jail can't chain the cell/ and the rain's too plain to tell/ all alone by a barren well/ the scarecrow's only scarin' himself."
Also: "What gives you comfort now/ might be the end of you then."
Ouch!

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

i posted in a thread regarding the analytical interpretations of the Guero cover, that the head with the tear looks like "michael".
my manpartners name is michael: mike.
so this makes me think of michael jackson: "hey mike!" "Miiiike....Heyyyyy....sorry about that molestation thing. shitty deal mike."
Mike Jackson.
weird.

LOL, Yeah but Dzama didn't 'paint to order' (or did heeee... queue ominous muzak) Hilariously scary how everything can be interpreted to suit. Scariest is Girl. I had no idea it was about kidnapping, torture and murder. I thought Co$ didn't watch the news.

I really don't think he is ... I can't imagine him giving up his independence - that's for the non-celebrity Co$ who "volunteer" to work off their tiers of "dumbing their heads down" and freeing their "little brains".
