Wait, Sony offered Ke$ha the chance to make music without Dr Luke yet she declined? I guess this pretty much proves her main problem was the terms of her contract barely allowing her to see any of her royalties
Kinda disgusting she lied about rape to try and achieve those means though
Yeah that was sketchy how they offered her a chance to not work with him but she declined because she was concerned about Sony potentially not wanting to promote her future music. She basically decided on a PREMISE that her commercial performance would decline. Why would someone in her position prioritize that over the "trauma" her producer allegedly gave her?
Sony lawyer: "Our interest is in her success. Our interest is in Dr. Luke’s success. They are not in the least bit mutually exclusive."
It's what I've been telling people in Ke$ha threads all along. Sony benefits if they both stay on top. They would do anything to avoid damaging either of them
HBO’s Girls, in its penultimate season, has long been one of the trickiest shows on the air to get a hold on. It would be silly to demand likable characters—not to mention hopeless, given our current TV age of morally ambiguous protagonists—but Lena Dunham’s Hannah Horvath has flirted with outright sociopathy so often that it’s borderline exhausting. (Never mind the degree to which Hannah gets tied up in Dunham’s own persona in the public imagination.) Good news for the show’s haters: season 5 of Girls resolves the angsty cloud that has long swirled around the series by making it, more than ever, something generic. Hannah is maturing into a person better able to fit into polite society, which is good! The fact that the show is doing the same, though, gives us something to mourn.
Why is it that every GIRLS review makes me fume? Sociopathy? Really?
