What is this girl thinking? First she makes a record and a video about 'feeling alienated from the luxury lifestyle promoted by popular culture', a popular culture to which she contributes and from which she earns her living, gets it released, then it becomes popular. Now she complains about all the media attention. Well of course you get media attention, because you've made a hit record you silly girl. If you don't like popular culture and media attention, don't become a pop singer but go and do something else with your life.

Having had some involvement in the popular music industry through working at several commercial radio stations, I can confirm that all stuff like this is just bulltulip, done purely for promotional purposes.
I remember back when Dexys Midnight Runners first had a hit around 1978. They took advantage of the limelight by taking out full-page adverts in the music press that stated, at great and pretentious length, that the music press was all crap and they wouldn't give them any interviews. This had the desired effect of ensuring that they got much more coverage in the music press than they could have ever achieved with interviews, for the journalists know how the game is played and are more than happy to go along with the record company PRs - sorry, the artist trumpeting their "integrity" - over this kind of thing. Where else will all the free gigs, free booze, and free drugs come from?

who??
what a dirge.
I imagine that being a female music star results in everyone wanting to screw you in one way or another so she is probably right. I imagine its a bit like working on top of the pops 20 years ago.
Maybe she can get the music biz to become 'ethical?'
