I always judge my book by the cover.
Congratulations Trey Songz, you officially have the lamest name known to man. Seriously, “Songz”? What the hell were you thinking? I imagine it was something along the lines of “Oh mah gah, I write songs, but I am also a dipshit. How can I get those both into my name at the same time?” I respect you as an artist, but why do you have to use a pseudonym? Does it make you more mysterious?
I like to judge a book by its cover, in fact, it often saves me time. For example, I thought the cover of every fantasy novel ever looked horrible, so I would skip reading it. Instead, I would head towards the cleverly illustrated covers of Chuck Palahniuk or the attractive jackets of the nonfiction economics related novels. Either way, I know what I am going to get before I read a page. But this applies to everything. Specifically, I can tell that I will hate Trey Songz because of his horrific abomination of a name, or that I will hate Dashboard Confessional because of their solemn wording, or even that I will like Tokyo Police Club, because it has the word Tokyo in it ^_^ \/.
This is why we should all judge books by their cover, you see the name “Lil’ Scrappy” What did you honestly expect? How about U2? The more one thinks about it, the more they realize it is often easier to judge a book by its cover.
