DJ AM's "New" Show, Gone Too Far




Well I was home surfing On-Demand, bored out of my mind. I don't know what I was doing in the MTV section, I think I was looking for music. Wait that couldn't have been write. Anyway I came across Gone Too Far. The show is the brainchild of the late DJ AM. Formerly Adam Goldstein, and not just formerly because he's dead, he was formerly Adam Goldstein before he died. He changed his name to DJ AM because he wanted to say "Yo, dowg, and "that's tight". And with a name like Adam Goldstein that just isn't possible. Now the show features AM going to drug addicts' homes and trying to get them to change. We are lead to believe that AM is a former drug addict. This little ruse is not as cunning as you would think. AM overdosed and died while filming the show. Does anyone think that is as funny as I do? I mean here's a guy that is trying to teach kids on drugs to not be on drugs, while they're on drugs and he's still on drugs. What is going through his head other than new beats to use at his club, when he is spitting his lies (AM lingo) Here is the best part. This is from MTV's website.

DJ AM knew all too well about the daily struggle of drug addiction. The late celebrity spinner (born Adam Goldstein), who died from an overdose in August at age 36, spent his last few months filming an MTV series called "Gone Too Far," in which he spoke candidly about his own addiction, his 11 years of sobriety and his desire to help other young addicts overcome their demons.

I believe a few things are off here. He spoke of his 11 years of sobriety? Ah, really? Because I think he was as sober as Layne Staley. Watching the videos of these kids getting high was probably like watching Sesame Street for Predators. I have another idea. Instead of making these kids go to rehab, and then looking awesome as you come for a visit. How about go with them. Check yourself in with the kids, that would be an even better show. Wait it was a show. It was called Celebrity Rehab. God tried to get rid of this show before it started with that plane crash, but now these kids are fucked. You're telling me that these drug addicts are going to stay clean, after hearing their beloved PM, sorry, AM is gone?

I think not. So overall, if you're looking for a laugh, or a boost in your self-esteem, watch Gone Too Far.
