Jamiroquai

Whatever happened to Jamiroquai?

Remember those guys smoking joints on stage at Metropolis in Montreal and thinking they were the next big long time thing. Isn't it amazing how bands that come and go get plenty of attention as "one hit wonders" but film directors that make incredible work and fade into oblivion do so in obscurity? "Deer Hunter" director Michael Cimino did fuck all after that masterpiece and nobody said boo. My favorite movie growing up, "Arthur", directed by Steve Gordon was his last effort and again, nobody is the wiser. Why is it that for musicians it takes one three minute song to become a household name, but for filmmakers, you could spend a year making a two hour masterpiece and fall off a cliff the next day and nobody would notice?

I actually really like Jamiroquai and they are no one hit wonder, they sold more than 35 million albums worldwide with multiple number one songs. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I do agree with the sentiment of your blog though.

No director is better than a hopped up Jamiroquai. AND Jamiroquai's videos are better than anything Scorcese has ever done. I would stick to your milieu Jewpoo (hacking darts, vodka consumption etc).
