Dr. Forrester: What happens when you go into your favorite karaoke bar, and you want to hear “I Want To Know What Love Is” by Foreigner?
TV’s Frank: People vomit?
Bad news, everyone. The forces of evil have allied to unleash another musical apocalypse upon the world. Wal-Mart will exclusively be vomiting up CDs of Foreigner’s “Can’t Slow Down,” a three-disc set of new material, a concert DVD and a best-of collection, in September. It will be the band’s first release since 1995’s “Mr. Moonlight,” according a Billboard report, and we all remember “Mr. Moonlight,” right? Right?
The following quote attributed to Wal-Mart senior music buyer Tom Welch is telling: “When Foreigner played at the company’s annual shareholders meeting, the band’s (appeal) was reinforced by how much our associates loved it.”
This may be the greatest aural sin unleashed by Wal-Mart since Journey passed “Revelation” through its musical sphincter in 2008.
It has everything to do with hurting.
