Chink in The Screen or How Ashlee Simpson Helped to Expose The Culture of Simulation

Sorry, one more post before I continue my conversation with Juan.

Did anyone see SNL the other night when performer Ashlee Simpson simply, literally, and egregiously messed up her lip-synching routine? If not, you can see the clip here:

If this isn't a simple exposure of the nepotism, manufacturing, simulation, and deceit in our understanding of musical entertainment, television, and the screen, I don't know what is! For one pure moment, a chink appeared in the facade of the screen.

Man, she even avoided reality and responsibility by blaming it on her band!
