The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

This is one odd note to write, but if you live in the States you will know that there is a Butter Statues Pavilion in the Iowa State Fair that every year sculptures make sculptures of the most influential people around the States, sounds pretty cool but maybe the headline told the key aspect of this note; there was going to be a Michael in this year fail, well there was a statue, but it was melted down after many complaints that a man with a dubious personal life shouldn’t be honored. The organizers said the butter sculpture was made to honor the late King of Pop as the influential artist he was, but town folk started to complaint and said that Michael Jackson wasn’t a role model because of his child abuse allegations; that is a biased comment specially because he was proven as innocent and in this country you are innocent until justice say the opposite. Hey what the heck Harry Potter is honored? Is only a fictional character and as soon the 8th movie ends it’s going to be a thing of the past and what the heck as Harry done for the arts? Nothing at all.

It’s a shame that a great piece of art was melted, I think the artist was really talented and retentive in the details of his Bad persona… and at the end, who wants to see a freaky butter cow, I guess nobody with some common pop culture sense, I can see a cow only 20 minutes from my home and sometimes only a couple of minutes away in a farm that is near me, I live in a rural area that’s why. but a freaking butter cow, please! get real a butter cow over Michael Jackson, give me a break!.
