Four lines from Omar Khayyam
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Trans. E. FitzGerald (b. March 31st 1809)

JERO, enka-singing hip hop artist
Is this art? Maybe.
The music (and the singing) is not beyond the realm of karaoke-bar cabaret, but the visuals are quite amusing (whether it's intended to be hip reference to the early 90's pseudo-hiphop (Vanilla Ice, anyone?) or just a poor attempt at vanilla/nonthreatening hiphop image).
I am not sure what to make of it -- I mean, is the record label really serious? Or the media that's promoting this? Are there real fans of this kid? Who are they? This kind of snipped pieces tend to get taken out of context, for sure, and this video might just be something done in jest, or some minor subculture that's forgotten. But I have to say, I am a bit concerned...
