I am feeling so uninspired today. I blame the weather. It has been cloudy and rainy for far too many days now. When the weather is crappy I tend to feel blah and, well, kind of lazy. This was how I was feeling today. I just didn’t end up doing much of anything. Well, anything of importance, like my laundry, but I did watch TV, read, and go online. I checked the weather network and it is suppose to continue for next couple of days! How can I snap myself out of this funk if there is going to be more clouds and rain!
Anyway, last night I saw a commercial of this year’s Canada’s Walk of Fame, and I became outraged. They were listing off who was getting a star this year, Sandra Oh, Burton Cummings, and then they said Drake. All I ask is are they serious? The whole thing about getting a star of the walk of fame is that the person has been around for a long time and has contributed greatly to Canada’s entertainment industry. I just find it hard to believe that Drake is there yet.
I’m not saying that Drake isn’t going to eventually deserve this award, but I just think that it is a little early in his career to be getting a star. To put this in perspective Burton Cummings, one of Canada’s most celebrated singer/songwriters is only getting his star this year. Does that not just blow your mind? It honestly blows my mind. I don’t care how many albums Drake has sold, he is no Burton Cummings.
Drake got his start on Degrassi. Now, before I continue, I can make fun of Degrassi because I have seen every episode, some more than once. Degrassi not exactly the best show on TV, it is poorly written, poorly acted and overly dramatic. In short Degrassi is a soap opera for teenagers. Next up is Drake’s music career; so far he has released one album. Call you call it a music career if you have only one album out? Overall I feel like Drake hasn’t been around long enough to warrant a star on the walk of fame, and I wonder what the decision behind including him with this year’s recipients was.
The following links are two songs to show you how great Burton Cummings really is, incase you didn't already know.
