Related to talk about finding a timeline, I wonder exactly when Brian wrote Too Much Love Will Kill you? Do you think it was before or after he broke up with Chrissie and got back together with Anita?

Oooh, interesting question. We don’t know for certain, but let’s look at the information we do have. First of all, Brian originally let Freddie sing the song and the only reason why it didn’t appear on The Miracle was copyright issues regarding his solo album. The song must have been written during The Miracle era, and I believe the songs for that album were written in 1988. Wikipedia says the album was recorded over the course of the whole year, for what that’s worth. Thus, Brian likely wrote the song during the year his marriage broke up for good. Whether he did it before or after that happened is hard to say, although the lyrics are all about him being torn between the two of them and being unable to choose, which suggests it was written before he and Chrissy broke up. Something that might contradict that a little bit is how the lyrics very much say he’s in love with two people, and there’s that interview we discussed yesterday where Brian said he was in denial he was in love with Anita in 1988 and was living on his own after his marriage ended because he thought the feelings would pass. Was he simply more honest with himself about his feelings in music? It’s hard to say.

HOWEVER, there was an interview Brian did during the rerelease of Back to the Light in 2021 that intrigued me. I don’t have it handy now, sorry, but he said he got the permission of the people who the song affected to go ahead and publish the song, and obviously, he must’ve meant Chrissy and Anita. He said something like they realized it was something he needed to do. I cannot imagine Brian still being in an actual relationship with Chrissy with the marriage on its last legs, and him turning and going, “Hey, do you mind if I publish this song about how I can’t choose between you and Anita?” Like lmao call me crazy, but I could imagine Chrissy not being happy about that! BUT if he approached her about it after they were separated, that would make much more sense. It’s possible he wrote it while he was still technically in a relationship with her but on the brink of breaking up and he simply approached her for permission later, but I don’t think that much time would pass between those two events if that had been the case, since we know the breakup and writing of the song happened within a single year.

I’ll also mention the interview with Anita at the end of the year where she said she and Brian were broken up, too. That all suggests to me that Brian either wrote the song while on the brink of breaking up with Chrissy and he got her permission for the song later that year, or he wrote it in that unspecified time period when he was single and living alone. But I don’t think we can narrow it down more.

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

and while i’m on a self indulgent thing? i think that any of the kids calling Bruce “dad” changes his whole demeanor. it helps him know that whatever they’re talking about is serious.

hearing his name shouted across the house does nothing for him. a hundred people say his name all day, including his kids. whatever the situation is can be fixed.

but hearing “Dad!”, cried out in battle or screamed from the other room, has him rushing to their side. what is it love and i’m here you’re alright and shh i’ve got you

“Bruce, I need help” = can’t open this large jar, have a question about math homework, need someone to look at this case file for me

“Dad, I need help” = I am hurt. I am scared. I am in danger. I need you to make things better. I need you to protect me.

this is what everyone has been saying!! no one is looking at celebrities for political statements, but they should and must use their platform to amplify the voices of those who need and most importantly be against this genocide!!

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.
