Fahrenheit 1112

Album: I Wanna Be With You


Artist: Mandy Moore


Year Released: 2000



Did I really graduate that year? Were the kids at that time so impressionable that they would consider this a quality purchase? Before you rip a corner off of my man card, hear this. This is my wife's album. I don't even recall Mandy Moore from the year 2000.


So far I have found no redeeming quality to this album. If you are making an album in the style of Ms. Spears, you have to follow through to make it memorable. I would probably remember this atrocity if Mandy hadn't played the sweet girl card. Shave your head, get married in Vegas to a guy you knew for a day, go to rehab a few times, let the paparazzi take a picture of your c-section scar sans undies. Then, maybe then, I would have an inkling of interest in this album.


In the book "Fahrenheit 451", America has become a hedonistic anti-intellectual society. Reading or possessing books is punishable, at minimum, by a stint in the loony bin while your books are burned. Shakespeare's works, the Bible, Homer, Whitman, if it had any redeeming quality it was up in flames. Fahrenheit 451, the point at which books burn. Did Ray Bradbury have a time machine? How could he have foreseen in 1951 what would be going on in 2000? Only a anti-intellectual society would have this called this album music. So call me a fireman, and go to the loony bin while I burn your Mandy Moore cd.



Fahrenheit 1112, the point at which cd's burn.
