There are a lot of whores in the music industry. Music whores are accomplished musicians who lend themselves out to the dumbest shit. Take for instance, Elton John. He is a very accomplished penis and an excellent dick writer. Oh sorry, that was Freudian. Pianist and song writer. But Elton whored himself out for a duet with Lady Gaga during the Grammy Awards. Slash did the same thing with T Pain and Jamie Foxx later in the Grammy telecast.

Maybe I can't fault the artist too much. Maybe the idea sounds awesome at first, but then turns south. Take for instance the following news, Mary J. Blige will try her hand at the Led Zeppelin classic Stairway to Heaven. Not content on having destroyed One by U2, ol Mary is going to over sing and vocally run over another rock classic. I can just hear her version now: "She's buy-uy-uy-uy-uy-uy-uying a Stair-air-air-air-air way to HEAVEN!"

I am more excited about the news of the guitarist she chose, Steve Vai. Vai told VH1:

"You know, you gotta be really careful when you're gonna consider playing a song like this because it's just steeped in folklore and respect and it's been played by everybody," Vai said. "I believe it's the most requested song in history. So I was trying first to imagine how it was going to sound and then the moment that I heard that Mary J. was doing it, I actually have her records, so I went, 'Oh my God, this is going to be great.' And we got into the studio and just blasted it out. It was amazing. It was really special."

He is right. While I think Stairway isn't the best Led Zeppelin, it is their most popular and people have perceptions about it. I am intrigued to hear their take on it. INo word on when the song will be released, why the song was recorded, or how in the hell Steve Vai, Mary J. Blige, Travis Barker, and Randy Jackson of Journey and American Idol fame, decided to work together.
