Dear Moby,

I own and enjoy your cd titled "Play." I listen to it periodically.

However, I find you to be an invertedly arrogant sissy with obtuse and obnoxious homosexual vegan beliefs.  I would like to challenge two of your writings.  The first is your cd insert for "Play" and the second is your writing about misogyny which was a rant levelled at Eminem, another dubious personality who happens to create good records.

Regarding PLAY:

i) You are out of shape. Do some exercises. 

1)
You said, "If we base our belief systems on the humble assumption that the complexities of the world are ontologically beyond our understanding, then maybe our belief systems will make more sense and end up causing less suffering." You assume we are or should be agnostic and that we have a moral imperative to prevent suffering at large.  I disagree.  I believe agnosticism is bisexuality of the religion, and that a man need only occasionally reduce his own suffering.  This means out the window with Plato, Kant, and Buddha.

2) You called out for a reduction of prisoner abuse and defended victimless crime in a libertarian way.  I can support that.  There is a limit to your Platonism, that being "live and let live" and "mind your business."

3) You then list various reasons for being a vegan, none of which are particularly valid, but your rationale was very cleverly presented as a nonpersuasive advertisement for veganism.  Some people are persuaded by and therefore seek out nonpersuasive arguments.  It's a fad, I think, like Beck being a scrub Scientologist.  I did want to say however that "a vegan diet is materially more efficient" doesn't matter because nobody wants to eat a silo full of wheatberries when they can have one nice juicy hamburger.  Prion resistance in humans indicates that they also periodically eat each other, rendering a Jainist "do no harm" outlook on life rather amusing.  I also wanted to point out that you harm people by using plastic.  As do I.  Plastic contains polyvinyl chlorate which gives children autism and destroys cells.  Musicians are cd-selling murderers.  You are doubly a murderer for wearing nylon sneakers and shirts with plastic buttons.

4)  You said, "whenever we're aware of a despotic regime victimizing a segment of its population, we are all to some extent responsible."  This is in reference to the recent fad of counting Americans among the enemy tribes of Judah for not opening wide the gates of Immigrantland to the last waves of German Jewish exiles in WWII.  You then build off this shaky edifice that therefore fags and bohemians must be widely accepted, and you go on to ban various human emotions, and set your own criteria for permissible intolerance.  Kurt Godel proved that all systems are incomplete, and therefore extensible.  So, naturally various fantasies can be compounded off any basis including Jewish contempt for Americans, and the vague language of the 14th Amendment.  What is not necessary is that this extended system of fantasy be demonstrable within the lower or more physical dimensions of this universe.  This I am sure you find a great convenience, especially when setting up your synthetic intellectual and moral speedbumps.  Let's be aware that "some extent" does not necessarily indicate a whole number, a rational number, a cardinal number, or even a real number.  The null set, being a subset within all sets, most likely describes the extent to which I am responsible for Nazi Germany.  Your quote of course was the rationale for the invasion of Iraq, which caused human suffering.  Oops.

5) Finally you say, "how absolutely horrified and sickened I am by supposed Christians who [sic] commit acts of violence in the name of Christianity." Then you do a clever deconstructionism of Christianity using violence as a negator.  Very good.  Very run of the mill.  True even, but you miss the point that what is truly horrifying and sickening about Christianity are its virtues and teachings, not the way they are twisted by the hillbillies and rednecks that you hate in such a benignly concealed way.  You uphold those virtues.  You represent the new Christianity. Find a Unitarian Chapel.

Regarding i'd like to write about misogyny

www.moby.com/journal

In this writing you pat yourself on the back for criticizing Prodigy for "Smack My Bitch Up" and for criticizing the
"pernicious and pervasive spread of misogyny in popular culture" as if a) celebrity musicians speaking on issues was ever relevant beyond the realm of commercial endorsements and b) lesbian hustlers did not already make a living speaking up on this alleged issue in various colleges.  If misogyny did not exist, it would have to be invented.  What a cash cow!

This is not to say that I believe you are raising the issue for financial reasons.  I believe you are raising the issue because it satisfies a feminine urge which you were somehow born with or acquired.  I believe invisible boobies glow on your chest when you say such things, and Moby wants his invisible boobies to glow and spray warm milk.  I don't think that is too far out an assumption.

You were "deeply offended" by the "irresponsible" release of  "
music that glamourized misogyny."  This I can relate to in limited form.  I am frequently deeply disgusted by the mendaciously ignorant release of music that glamorizes crack dealers and murderers.  But even more by music that glamorizes defeatism, resentment, ignorance, herd mentality, or paranoid delusional feelings of persecution.  And yet, Flipside saying your message sucks in no way resembles Moby saying "you have blood on your hands" and generally posing as a bald Jesus Christ or Kevin Spacey lecturing Pontius Pilate or Brad Pitt.  That is because I understand that the musician is not responsible for the listener who may or may not have an identity of his own and who may try to emulate my identity by repeating my lyrics over and over again like Sirhan Sirhan.  I do not have that responsibility because I did not rob that moron of his identity in the first place, and also because he is an infinitessimal value, a fluke, a worst case scenario.  Further, I reserve the diabolical right to install my identity into my listeners anyway.  You have your label and your microphones.  Do your best.

You then go on to recapitulate your testimonial with an accusation of complicity of "the media" for "
hav[ing] celebrated and glamorized music and musicians who write lyrics that glorify misogyny and homophobia."  So was this rant just a big ad for fags after all?  You sure expended a lot of effort to slip that one in at the end.  The gay rider, the vegan rider, the rider for mandatory spanish, the rider for anti-capitalism.... and then,


"i asked a rhetorical question a few years ago, which was: 'if a musician made a record wherein he talked about killing blacks and jews would he get covered in the press and played on radio and mtv? if the answer is 'no'(as it should be), then why is radio and mtv filled with music that has lyrics about killing and brutalizing women and gays? is it somehow less offensive when women and gays are brutalized and killed?'"

Allow me to answer that.  First, anything sensational gets covered in the press. Second, the Gay Lobby is not yet as powerful as that of "blacks and jews," but with your celebrity endorsement, no doubt you can join the long line of people who want to make MTV pee it's pants.  The owner of MTV's parent company is a Zionist.  Perhaps one day he will become gay, and then on that great day homos will win the reversals in music video that they once won in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

To be a little less sarcastic for the speds who live on alfalfa sprouts and handjobs, what I mean to say is that comparing women and their homosexual shopping pals to blacks and jews just follows with vegans complaining about music that glorifies the "animal holocaust."  You are responsible for that deluge of nonsense.  What punishment do you deserve?  Sit in the naughty corner and think about your actions.
