  • The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect. "
    — Marquis de Sade

    POP STARS???

    PianoManGidley on 2009-02-22 03:59:07
    Amazing that such a quote still holds true today...I didn't even know that the French in the time of the Marquis de Sade used the term "pop star."

    maradnu on 2009-06-25 01:45:03
    Makes more sense that this quote is from Sade, not De Sade.

    It's hilarious, but it took me FOREVER because I couldn't imagine that it was "pop stars!"

    "Franz Liszt invenÂ*ted the whole concept of the pianÂ*ist as star: a virÂ*tuÂ*oso who takes centre stage for an entire evenÂ*ing, playÂ*ing in proÂ*file to a conÂ*cenÂ*trated, adorÂ*ing, enrapÂ*tured audiÂ*ence. In fact, his mere presÂ*ence on stage caused women to swoon. They would keep his disÂ*carded cigar butts nestled in their cleavages."--from an internet bio of Franz Liszt There were pop stars in the Marquis de Sade's day.

    How funny, I didn't pay attention to the author. I was shocked to see his picture. A fun mistake.

    chopstix on 2014-02-02 16:35:57
    …Lisztomania … I too doubt that this could be from de Sade, I've found it attributed to Thomas Beecham who died in 1961 - that seems to make more sense as to the use of "pop star".

    abra on 2014-09-14 15:48:34
    I wonder if the women throw their pantaloons at Liszt, when he was on stage.

    If the Marquis said it, he would have said it in French - this would be the translation.

    This quote is from 1987 and attributed to Sade Adu (the singer) in "Rock Venom: Insults, Abuse And Outrage" By Susan Black and "A maioria dos pop stars é composta de completos idiotas". - Fonte: Guia dos RoC(k)uriosos, publicado pela revista Showbiz, na edição 146.

    It was a mistranslation; this should have read "pop tarts".

    ADMIN: This quote should be attributed to Sade, per wobray2's comment above. Here's her bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sade_%28singer%29
