Was
Anna Nicole Smith really the
Marilyn Monroe of our time? Was she the
Princess Diana of Reality TV? The way the network news and celebutainment shows are joining forces slogging through the mud in tribute to the sad
beauty, we can't help but think that maybe she does complete that particular
Die in Threes triangle.
And now, someone has sent us a song that confirms it.
Goodbye America's Rose comes
"with apologies to Elton John... which are wholly insincere because he was such a bitch to Madonna.""Goodbye America's Rose"
by Mike McNamara
Goodbye Vickie Lynn
Though I never knew you at all
You were the crazy glue
Stuck to the hearts of us all
You crawled out of the fast food stand
up to Guess? and to Playboy
And you brought leagues of men
Lots of masturbation joy
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a Red Bull mixed with gin
Never sleeping, never sober
Until the pain gave in.
And I would have liked to known you
But I was a too poor gay kid
Your sanity ran out long before
Your TrimSpa ever did
Spilling cereal on your chest
Drooling milk down your chin
You were truly outrageous
Even more so than Jem
Another people's princess lost
The empty eyes under your smile
Your death is incredibly suspicious
Could see that from a Texas mile
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a Red Bull mixed with gin
Living fully, living happy
Until Howard K Stern moved in
And I would have liked to have known you
More than just your show on E!
The Supreme Court gave you a ruling
I hope you're finally free...
