It's not about protecting a song so much as it's about calming down the hysteria about abandoning a cheesy, overplayed song that would never in a million years approach "My Old Kentucky Home" in significance. |
So have some unknown artist sing a popular hip-hop song, with a performance that made American Idol rejects look okay? Makes total sense.
If Patterson did request this as some poster said earlier (not sure of the validity behind that), it is a situation where I wish he was not blind but deaf...
...and yes, you are fired up, and its very comical. Who knew a Jay-Z song meant so much to you! Its a little bit heart touching...
