How Does He Do It?

Filed under: Miscellaneous — By Jack at 8:52 am on Tuesday, January 17, 2006

As regular readers of this site know, I get most of my news from Moby’s blog. Man, that guy can just cut through all the filler and spin, and give me the news the way it’s meant to be read: in all lowercase letters. Over time, I’ve grown accustomed to getting my daily dose of the world from Ol’ Moby, but the guy managed to surprise even me with his latest journal entry.(Regular readers of Moby’s know that he dislikes the word “blog.”)

Anyway, Moby’s latest entry deals with death. “Whoa,” you’re probably saying. “That’s a heavy topic. I don’t know if I can handle reading about something like that.” Well, don’t worry, because Moby handles it with his usual grace and aplomb. He asks each of us to think about how we would like to look back on our lives when we’re on our death beds at some point in the future. Moby wants to know if you want to look back on your life with contentment and happiness, or regret and sadness. I know which one I picked, but it took quite a bit of soul-searching, I must say. So if you feel like you’re ready to be enlightened by a man who may very well turn out to be our generation’s Martin Luther King, Jr., head on over to his site and pick up some knowledge.

Kudos to you, Moby. You took a dark subject like human mortality, and from it, spun gold. You also mispelled the word “germane” and used the word “arbitrary” incorrectly. Whatever, I still love you.

I don’t agree with your sarcasm on Moby - the man is a genius. Here is why:
- Have you listened to “Play”? I don’t think any album in the history of music has been used in more truck or shoe commercials. How does 2nd place taste John Cougar Mellancamp? Others may make music that “sounds good” or “wins awards”. Well Moby just sells out from day one. That is why he is rich.
- He is clearly too smart to use punctuation or proper spelling in his journal entries.
- He cites the age 246 in his article on death. Moby has obviously found the Fountain of Youth and is keeping it a secret. How does that taste Ponce De Leon?

Frank Reich,

I stand corrected. You make excellent points. Not only did you lead my beloved Bills to the greatest comeback in NFL history, you know your Moby. Kudos to you.

Moby’s blog, um….

Moby’s blog is pretty dumb and pretty incomprehensible. I guess I should have expected that….
