Slog - Comments on Smelly Britches, Crusty Sleeves or, Re: Sheryl Crow v. Karl Rove http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/smelly_britches_crusty_sleeves_or_re_she Yesterday, I was indifferent to Sheryl Crow. Today I have learned to loathe her. First, there's the Rove incident that Dan posted earlier: In his attempt to dismiss us, Mr. Rove turned to head toward his table, but as soon as he did so, Sheryl reached out to touch his arm. Karl swung around and spat, "Don't touch me." How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be touched by Sheryl Crow? Unfazed, Sheryl abruptly responded, "You can't speak to us like that, you work for us." Karl then quipped, "I don't work for you,...

That way, all the electricity that goes into powering the massive stadium she plays will be pre-emtively saved.

if you don't want to be touched on the arm by Sheryl Crow you don't like the ladies much. and i'm saying that as a guy who hates her music.

(Is she also going to suggest saving water and paper towels by limiting hand-washing to only bathroom visits that involve #2?)

Um... Hasn't she ever heard of the old fashioned handkerchief? You can still buy them at most department stores. Heck, you can even get them all fancy with your initials on them! I would think promoting people going back to carrying a good old fashioned hanky in their purse or pocket would be loads easier then designing a clothing line and trying to convince them to wipe their face on their sleeve. Ewww.

Whatever her theories on saving the planet, she is still more beautiful, famous, talented, popular, and wealthy than you. If you two were standing next to each other, no one would even notice you were there.

I know, it's a hard pill for a narcissist to swallow.
