What SellsA Poem by Michael HowellThe only way I was ever going to get attention was if I shouted and jumped up and down of Oprah's couch because there's two things that sell in this world: talent and craziness
You don't watch the biggest loser because you feel sad for the fat guys, you watch it because you marvel at how fat those people really are, and you watch it for that really bitchy lady who secretly makes you laugh at all the poor, poor fat people.
And you don't watch Lady Gaga or Ke$ha because you like their f****n' music you watch them because it's insanity they make a dime doing what they do, dressing up like some clown or a zipper or whatever else Gaga comes up with
And open mic's are a prime example
You listen to the singers and the songrwriters because they are incredibly talented and they can do things with their voices you couldn't even dream of
Then there's the poets who you listen to because they are absolutely crazy. Their minds spin in so many different directions you can hardly hold on to the handle bars as they drop you down a mine shaft or a roller coaster
The only way I was ever going to get attention was if I shouted and jumped up and down on Oprah's couch
