Moby vs Jessica

The image “http://edition.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/07/mtv.awards.wrap/story.moby.mtv.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.Moby's written a new song that slams stupid celebrities, and seems to have some very progressive views regarding the pitfalls of celebrity and celebrity worship. An excerpt:

"A lot of people feel inadequate when they compare their lives to the lives of celebrities, and I think that's really dangerous," he said.

Ironically, according to Moby, those who feel like they're missing out in life because they're not famous wind up envying people who are equally disenchanted.

"I know a lot of public figures, and a lot of them are not really happy," he said. "So, it's just a sad state of affairs when so many Americans obsess over the notions of wealth and fame [and] the people who are wealthy and famous are actually kind of miserable."


Oh yeah, and his new song is a slam against Nick and Jessica.
