Mary J. Blige: “I Have a Responsibility To Not Hurt My Fans”

11/9/07, 6:37 pm EST

Does music have a social responsibility? Mary J. Blige tackled the question as part of our interviews about the future of music for our current issue. “From day one, I’ve been singing songs about women,” Blige says. “It’s my responsibility to walk what I’m talking about and say, ‘Okay, if I’m screaming about confidence, then I’ve got to be confident,’ because it’s a different job for me, it’s a different thing.” For more of Blige’s Q&A, click here, and for interviews with Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, Marilyn Manson, Gerard Way and more, click here.

My point was that it’s irrevelevant whether or not tattoos are cool or trendy anymore, and I was not directing my comment towards anybody in particular. It was a very general statement. It’s a personal decision one can only make for themselves, regardless of fashion or trend. And as for the nasty commentors here at these blogs, they can go ahead and insult other commentors with verbal attacks as much as they want. In the end, they appear as the ignorant fools in the eyes of everybody who reads these postings.

“i guess those are the same kind of rationalizations you use to keep yourself from jumping out a window, eh?”

Speak for yourself, and stop attacking others with your toxic BS. What a jerk.

It’s not “cool” and trendy anymore to get a tattoo? All the more reason to get one. Bandwagoners.
