Behind The Music: Lil Wayne Is Going To Be Legendary

Here's a preview clip of the episode, which airs this Thursday at 10PM.

Excuse me, Miss Katie, but I just have one question: um, what? Something something riff something something I was like something something show my fingers something something make anything sound good. No offense, but how is he not dead yet? Make no mistake: I hope that Lil Wayne lives to be 1,000,000 years old, the oldest man who ever lived, and he is placed on a hoverstool in a space museum and people line up to pay 1,000 moon dollars to go visit the eighth marvel of the world. But what I want and what are the reasonable medical prognostications for someone drinking that much codeine out of styrofoam cups are two different things. You know he turns 27 this month, right? You know about the 27 Club, right? Right this way, sir. That's morbid. Let's hope his membership is denied.

In any case, this obviously carries the Videogum DVR Seal of Approval. I could watch him mumble mouth nonsensically without normal pause breaks the phone book.

It took me 45 of those 58 seconds to figure out he was talking about his horrid guitar playing skills.

I don't know what it is, but the video won't work for me.. I see the thing about a gecko saving prices (huh?), but not the actual clip. Is it because I don't live in your precious country?

Once again the internets discriminate against us foreigners who just want to enjoy preview clips of crazy people talking crazy about themselves. And isn't that something everyone should have? Life, liberty, and unrestricted internet laffs?

Yep, that about sums it up.

The more contemporary deaths on that chart stretch the meaning of the word "well known musician". (The background singer for "Passion Fruit"?)
Also, way to put your fan art as the pictures of Hendrix and Morrison.

Is this the guy Josh "Weezy" Collins is based off of?

I'm glad I checked that link. I'd convinced myself that Hank Williams was a member of the 27 Club too.

It would have to be the next summer of death if he was going to join the 27 Club, he turns 27 on September 27th which is 6 days after the end of Summer of Death.
