Who is a parody of themselves...
My response to the Gene Simmons Thread had me thinking about a new post.
What "entertainer" (used loosely) has / had become a parody of themselves? Here's my vote... - Elvis (Vegas Years) - Wayne Newton (Huh...Vegas Again!) - Gene Simmons - David Hasselhoff I probably will think of more... |

Yep...but William Shatner knows he is a paradoy of himself and does it willingly. I am not sure the others listed here realize it about themselves. Jim |

Great concept
These entertainers are indeed parodies of themselves (IMHO)
Charro Flavor Flav Hasselhoff (ugh) Simon Cowell Jack Nicholson - a bit of a stretch, but compare his early stuff Anna Nicole Smith Tom Cruise (double ugh) |

My vote goes for almost the entire metal genre. Especially anything that attempts to be "serious". |

One artist who became a parody of himself, sadly, was Roy Buchanan. Toward the end, he used a lot of flash, just because the audience related to it. Meanwhile, he could play anything, but he knew his bread and butter was the flash. |

Funny. I saw Roy in the late 80s and I loved his playing, but there was no flash at all. In fact, Roy stood relatively far away from the edge of the stage, said very little and seemed entirely uncomfortable. Sadly, when I heard of his death I wasn't surprised he committed suicide. I don't mean this to be critical, just that he didn't seem like a happy person.

As for Roy, I don't think he was always happy either. Yet, many speak of him as being warm, funny and generous at times. He had a lot of bad substance abuse problems. Seems like he was a shy introvert who lacked self esteem or was cursed by moodiness--but he had a marvelous gift to play guitar. And even if he did sometimes parody himself, I wish he was with us today to continue to do so. |

The show was very good, if you could get past the shrill EMGs through a JC120 tone, he wasn't phoning it in or hamming it up, but on and off stage you could see that life was wearing down on him. |
