the awesome/terrifying freedom

okay, clay aiken's cover of rolling stone is the gayest thing since the crusts were first cut off sliced bread.

check out the other photos.. taken by matthew rolston, another screaming queen who directs music videos that are indistinguishable from the l'oreal commercials he churns out. matty takes a great picture, but i despise him. he represents so much that is wrong with creativity in the music business - placing the focus on making the star look good and forgetting completely about creating something memorable or -gasp- original! he is the michael bay of music videos now that michael bay is the glossy prince of trite cinema. cheers to madonna who yelled at matty for trying to make her look 'too perfect' in the video for 'the power of goodbye.'

so if it takes matthew rolston to make clay look great, then great. but dear lord, keep him away from your videos. and heaven forbid he hops on the michael bay band wagon and tries to direct 'pearl harbor 2: back to the bay'
