Dipsticks of Music Thread

[Shawn Hopkins]

Who are the biggest dipsticks in musical history? I'm nominating the young, controversial enfant terrible ...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Yes, he was one of the greatest geniuses of all time, but he was also a freaky little jerk.

Much has been made of Mozart’s apparent obsession with defecation and farting, formally known as “scatology.” In one of his funnier letters, Mozart writes that a stink has entered the room. When his mother suggests that he’s farted, Mozart puts a finger up his rear and then sniffs it to confirm she’s right. Less well known, however, is that Mozart liked to imitate a cat. He’d be rehearsing an opera with his singers, when he’d suddenly grow bored and leap over tables and chairs, meowing and turning somersaults. He even wrote a comic song in which a woman responds to her husband’s questions with nothing but meows, until the poor man has no choice but to break down and meow, too. In English, the song is known as “The Cat Duet.” Mozart loved wordplay and created nicknames for his friends—Duchess Smackbottom, Countess Makewater, Princess Dunghill, and Prince Potbelly von Pigtail, just to name a few.

Hey, what a bloody good idea that was!

Considering that this guy is WAY too easy a target:



And also taking into account that Guns N Roses remain an awesome band, I still can't get around some of Axl's past indiscretions.

St Louis says hi Axl!

(Great singer though, can't stress that enough)

John Lennon was and still is one of the biggest assholes in music, barring actual criminals like Gary Glitter.

Urgh, yeah Glitter. It pains me to say this but I actually saw the guy play live once in the early 90's. An old friend of mine is a huge fan of the UK Glam Rock scene of the early 70's, David Bowie, The Sweet, Slade, Mud and all that. He had a spare ticket so I went. It was at the Manchester G-Mex and was packed, around 9000 people.

Glitter has never, EVER accepted any responsibility for his crimes, in spite of the overwhelming evidence. Scumbag.

Nah.

Just a little fussy.

Richard Wagner, major dick.

[Starchild]

Definitely Michael Jackson. Taylor Swift. Most rockers. I have no problems with Kanye West, he elevated Hip-Hop culture.

I haven't seen the video, but I heard Tommy Lee has a big dipstick.
