I am one of the many millions of people around the world that still has their e-vestigial tail, aka a Myspace account. I pay my ridiculous fucking phone bill more often and cheerfully then I check that old web-buick.
However the great thing about abandoned fads is being able to observe those who stubbornly hold onto that glory, becoming illogically standoffish for whatever came in its wake.
(Granted this can go the other way. After disco came and fell, the backlash was violent. Too bad too, Disco fucking rules. But basically the bridge and tunnel riff-raff got Springsteen so really it was just god's way of letting the beautiful people do coke off each other's penises in their own company if you want to split hairs. But again, I bet Discotheques were basically the Garden of People Watching Eden in the 80's.)
I'm not here to ''dutch rudder' both social networking giants, or really even to disparage one or the other (seriously!)
No, I am here to celebrate whats left of Myspace.
Left in the wake of the under dressed tweens and mirror shots; something much more beautiful arose. Have you ever gone to Walmart after midnight? These are your people. The salt of the earth. Not bad people. Somewhat honest people. They don't get into the 'fads' us go-go hipster douche bags get into. Not in time for the fad anyhow.
No. They talk straight, they mean what they say (kinda,) and they hold nothing back.
Like our friend, A.J.
Wait...what? NOTHING in your brain puts up a stop sign and says "private message"?
Thanks again, Myspace.
Yours in honor,
Reno
