Dave's Record Review
Lisa Marie Presley
"Dirty Laundry"
$$ out of four
Every once and a while I'll have something to say about the recording industry. Today, I'm gonna slice and dice Lisa Marie's record, the old 1982 Don Henley song, "Dirty Laundry." Let me start by saying I picked up her last CD two years ago, and there was no reason to dig up Elvis and show him how his little girl grew up. That is until I discovered the CD-ROM on that disc with a few of her videos. Wow! Some pretty heavy stuff. Running around in tight black leather and rolling around the floor half naked. That made it worth every penny! Now, Lisa Marie is weirdo. She's already got a daughter about 18 years old, and I think she's been married three or four times to a list that includes two more nuts: Nick Cage and Michael Jackson. She's always wearing black everything from her hair to her toes like a friggin' vampire, or really, like her Pop's wore in his big 1968 comeback special from Hawaii. So, why's everyone screwing with Don Henley? Leave those songs the way they were! This will make it the third remake of a Don Henley song in as many years. It's a lot slower, sadder, and darker. She says it fits her well because it's about the media constantly following your every move and everything you do, making it impossible to live a normal life. Lisa, you don't want the attention? Then don't marry every guy you roll in the hay with! Most importantly, quit making records and videos! This is mediocre at best. The video is getting played on VH1 and FUSE!
