We've got everything we need on you, except clothes and a complaint!
From the tragic to the ridiculous: Erykah Badu has been charged with "window seat nudity". Badu recently completed her Window Seat video down in Texas and that included some scenes in which Badu reenacts the Kennedy Assignation while nude. I kid you not. Badu claims that this is artistic expression. Texas sees it as indecent exposure.
famous for getting mad against famous for being naked
Charges might have been filed earlier except authorities were waiting for some one to file charges. Not that it's not hard to find some one who is unhappy about something - many of us blog. Sure enough a malcontent, or perhaps a discontent - let's give them the benefit of the doubt and call them merely disgruntled (I don't want to get them on any serial murderer/ticking time bomb watch lists), finally came forward. She's an angry mother - Ida Perez - who is offended that her young daughter had to witness folk rock nudity (... and in this day and age! This is the post modern age and streaking went out with Woodstock!), and that her daughter wound up in the video as a crowd member.
pop music video is a gate way to fame addiction
NOW naturally this sort of thing has to be stopped fast. Today the young girl is in a folk rock video with Badu, but where might that lead? Possibly on to commercials and then the really hard stuff - reality TV. Reality TV is the crack cocaine of fame addiction (I would have said that it was the crystal meth of fame addiction except that clearly refers to pro wrestling!). So mom jumped in and made an official complaint. The authorities were quick to step in too, charging the naked Badu with a misdemeanor and a fine.
flavor of the month - I used to be the next main course but no one named a sandwich after me!
Meanwhile Badu, who hasn't been relevant in years (she used to be the next Tracy Chapman), now has a lot of free publicity for her soon to be released naked head shot video! So she won't try a smutty stunt like that again soon! Just as long as she'd learned her lesson, she can have a second chance. She shouldn't take too many chances though, or folk will think that she's learned your lesson not wisely but too well!
