Youp van ‘t Hek hand out an incredible bastard to Gordon because of his bizarre idea to pimp the grave of Whitney Houston without permission from the family. “With his coke head!”
Gordon went to her grave to look at her grave thirteen years after the death of Whitney Houston as a tourist snack. One problem: the grave did not meet the expectations of Goor, and he now makes a lot of fuss about that. The singer has even started a foundation that aims to release her grave. However, the family does not want that.
Petrol pump
It is bizarre what that man gets in mind, thinks Youp van ‘t Hek, who is full of grinding in his NRC column. He speaks of a ‘self -addicted Gordon’ who goes with a ‘scanty, bunch of flowers scored by the gas pump’ in search of Whitney’s grave. “Of course there was a camera. People like this do nothing for nothing.”
Whitney indeed has a modest grave, just like so many people. “The sung folk singer immediately thought: there is something to get here and maybe I can also make a good salad here.”
Pair of lines
It is laughable that Gordon thinks he does not need permission from the family or cemetery to get started with Whitney’s grave, according to Youp. “I think Gordon came up with that after a few nice lines.”
Unprecedented, he thinks so. “It is interesting that some sagging Amsterdam idiot makes it to be shamelessly committing violation on the grave of one of the greatest world stars of the last century. And just because this gentleman (…) craves attention.”
Botoxteefs
Perhaps Gordon is bored among the ‘botoxteefs’ that come to his Blaricum blushing, Youp sniffs. “Of course I also know that it is not all going on and that it is a curse and a sigh of a warhead damaged by Coke, but is it not going just too far that he dances on the grave of the Great Whitney Houston?”
A ‘false torture market vendor of the Albert Cuyp’ has nothing to do with Whitney Houston, he concludes. “Leave the deceased alone.”
