| + | '''''Honk If You Love [[Fred Durst]]''''' is the name of a single by [[TISM]]. It was the second and last to be released off ''[[De RigueurMortis]]'' ([[2001]]). The title is a play on the phrase ''honk if you love Jesus''. |

| + | ==Song== |
| | + | On a literal level, the song deals with God, and is essentially a [[monologue]] with a short introduction. He observes that [[Christianity]] is in popular decline and seeks to find another star to replace [[Jesus]], claiming he has no [[Credibility|cred]]. He looks at other options, such as [[Moby]], a Christian and even [[Limp Bizkit]] frontman [[Fred Durst]], who is also Christian. At the end of the song, it is unclear what, if anything, has been decided. Though a recurring line says "Jesus rocks tha' mic" implying that God has not chosen a replacement for Jesus, but has reinterpreted Jesus into a musical idol of some sort. At a figurative level, the song presents a criticism of the "false idols" of popular culture, and the cynical use of proclamations of religious belief to attract larger sales from the Christian section of society. |

| − | == Analysis ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Personal health is generally kept confidential, and there are financial reasons for one not to publicize his or her health problems. The disclosure can cause a loss in jobs or income. This is particularly true for [[Hollywood]] stars who rely on attractiveness and sex appeal. Michael J. Fox, for example, understandably kept his [[Parkinson's disease]] confidential for as long as he could.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | But cancellation of appearances for health reasons begs explanations, and the population of [[Hollywood]] stars likely to disclose medical conditions will roughly be the size of those who are active in appearances, shows, movies, etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A rough estimate of this population is as follows. In the music world, perhaps there have been 50 women who are active, well-known performers willing to disclose a diagnosis of breast cancer{{fact}}. In the television and movie industry, perhaps there are 450 who fall into that category{{fact}}. The total population from which the above names are drawn is perhaps 500, depending on age{{fact}}.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The list of breast cancers above will grow, but already it is plainly way above the expected occurrence of the disease. For example, there are likely no more than 500 [[Hollywood]] performers under age 30 who would publicly disclose a condition of breast cancer{{fact}}, yet 3 developed breast cancer. But The typical incidence of that disease is only 2 out of 5000. The incidence in [[Hollywood]] appears to be more than 10 times that of the general population. If the population from which the above sample is drawn is twice as high, the incidence in [[Hollywood]] would still be more than 5 times the rate in the general population.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There is likely no more than 1000 in the population of [[Hollywood]] types under age 35 who would have publicly disclose breast cancer{{fact}}. The list above has 8 cases (and growing). The expected rate is only 1.5 out of 1000 in that age group.
