With all the bad things going on with Justin Bieber, it is fun to discover one good thing! Last night he had a cameo in The SImpsons, the one place where Michael Jackson to George Harrison to Red Hit Chili Peppers to Barry White come to rehabilitate themselves with a minimum of fuss.
Bieber only had one line but it is the sort of thing that can start the change from one place to another and begin to lift the bad karma away.
It is really a shame. I remember seeing Bieber on stage performing with a broken foot at Jingle Ball maybe four years ago and it was the first time I’d seen him live. The girls in the audience went insane but Bieber, was he sixteen? Well, he was beyond a trooper. With every reason to call it in, he worked his tail off to make up for his injury.
It changed my mind about the kid and since then, well, since then I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt whenever possible, His situation is completely impossible, you can’t have that kind of fame that early, you can’t provide for your family and entourage and not become infallible. Scooter, his Mom, everybody around him have the choices: either suck it up or walk.
Of all his sins, the only ones that are beyond the pale is
1. Showing u late for work.
2. Stranding his monkey.
Everything else i stuff and nonsense, even the story of leaving his Grandpa in poverty begs the question, why is his Grandfather not calling out Bieber’s parents because you know damn well both of them are cashing in.
So, any way, for a little while we can give the kid a break and watch him on The Simpsons.
