Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

ICYMI we’ve devised a fun user-generated assignment for young Julia: Stereogum Presents… Nochella. You guys are gonna pick a random-ass music festival and we’re gonna send her there to report on it. Just to be clear, though, we expect you’ll pick an unappealing event or at least a fish-out-of-water scenario — it’s supposed to be funny. Go here and nominate any music fest (happening in the US this summer) you want, but we’re really looking for weird/unique experiences to include in the final poll that’ll launch next month. Give us some suggestions that will make Julia regret suggesting this project in this first place!

That’s fascinating, because I heard that her biologucal father was Dr Arnold Klein, celebrity dermatologist. He was Debbie Rowe’s boss & lover for many yrs. Debbie Rowe bore 2 of Dr Arnold Klein’s biological children. Not Michael Jackson’s biological children.

Are you seriously trying to yell me that everyone knows Paris’ biological father was Dr. Arnold Klein, celebrity dermatoligist, and that Prince & Paris carry the DNA of Debbie Rowe and her long-time boss and lover, who was Dr. Klein, so Prince & Paris thankfully carry no DNA by MJ?

Is there an unspoken rule that people with chest tats die young or do we just never talk about the people who managed to survive their own impulse control?
