Darren Hayes to come out

On the Simpsons

1. Who is Darren Hayes? 2. Come out of what? A closet or something? 3. In a society where big time politicians appear on "The Daily Show", I guess it is perfectly normal for gay people to come out of the closet on a cartoon. Although in a society where we are supposed to mind our own business and respect other people's privacy I don't understand why "coming out" is such a big deal.

An Australian pop singer. Used to be 1 half of the group "Savage Garden", but now he is a solo singer.

Ugh. Worst import ever. "I Want You" should be on everyone's "50 Worst Songs Ever" list.

I hear ya..... Don't blame us though. Perhaps it was in retaliation for Billy Ray Cyrus..... lol

On behalf of all Americans, I wholeheartedly apologize for releasing Cyrus upon the world stage. Except Sweden, which still maintains a major awful music export imbalance with the US (ABBA, Ace of Base, Europe).

Don't forget RoXette.....

They weren't that bad, at first. By the time Joyride came out, I wanted them nuked.

I'm not sure if Aqua with their insipid "Barbie Girl" song came from Sweden. If so, add them to the list.

And why stop at music? What about all those Volvo drivers?

And that crappy Ikea furniture.

Swedish meatballs..... (actually I've never had those, just thought I'd chuck 'em in)

Actually I like Darren Hayes and his new album is brilliant and VERY VERY different from anything he did with Savage Garden. Would be nice if people would give the guy a chance and listen to his music with an open mind for a change. :)
