If there is a poll for worst song ever, "We Built This City" is my top entry, right above "You're Having My Baby" by Paul Anka.

Hindsight
It's good to be reminded of the band they once were, especially when you look at the trainwreck that is/was Jefferson Starship. I'm not saying that "We Built This City" destroyed everything they did in the sixties, but it's hard to ignore.

Not as important as being dissed by Kanye…
But one of my worst moments of the Bush Presidency was when my college roomate was killed in Iraq fighting in an uneccesary war started by the President.
My friend was black, though, so I'm sure he would have been glad to know that the decision to send him there wasn't made

Should be a registered commenter here.

Internet-based humor
Can a Lolcats Vs. Loldogs TV show or movie be far behind?

I laughed.

Huey Lewis and the News = ZZ Top
Same artificiality. ZZ Top may hold a slight advantage due to the beards.

Olbermann was being a complete whiney douche on Twitter about the thing, it was really embarrassing. Unfortunately I must agree with him on one point when he said, "Do you think if we quiet down our message that Fox News will too? No, they will get louder."

Centrism and Moderation
I think it was a success in that it opened the iris of mainstream media just a bit. If a jokey rally held by some basic cable comedians can move the needle as much as Stewart and Colbert did they'll start to pay attention. Hopefully it'll bring us more politicians who recognize that a lot of

I ain't even gonna callout their names 'cause they're so wack.

Waterboy
Mama says Jay-z's music is the devil!
She also says Hammer is ornery 'cause he got all them big pants and skinny legs.

Tribunal rebuttal
I disagree about the Tribunal, it provides a framework. Without the dark undercurrent they provide you'd just have a show about a bunch of overly famous metalheads acting like dildos. Funny, but the Tribunal and the supernatural elements of the show give it an epicness that wouldn't be there

Jammin' on the One-Homestar Runner
Homestar always had some good Halloween eps and costumes. My favorite is still Coach Z as Theo Huxtable wearing the fake designer shirt that Denise made him. Too bad Homestar Runner (or at least the website) seems to have stopped making new content.

Ya know, every time I think of the movie I remember how awesome that soundtrack is. The song "The Orgy" from the original soundtrack is one of the greatest songs ever. Seriously, go listen to it now and get fired up. However, I was getting slightly embarrased by having a song called "The Orgy" pop up on my iPod so I

I won't have you besmirching the good name od Bearded Tam O'Shanter Guy With Rasputin-Like Eyes! (BTOSGWRLE) Actually I will. Carry on.

You give Capitol too much credit. They didn't think the mono boxes would sell at all compared to the stereo so they gave it the "limited edition" tag in hopes that would at least help sales a bit. Then, when Amazon pre-orders went through the fucking roof they backtracked and started pressing more. So, to recap, savvy

Brian Wilson probably would have mixed Pet Sounds in stereo but he had a very good reason for doing it in mono: He was deaf in one ear.

If you're on the fence
They're also selling a "Best Of the Mono Mixes" set as well. I might take that first as a little taste and then come back for the whole thing if I like it. This method also works for enterprising young drug dealers.

Worked for the Beatles
Their mono box set sold out the first two runs. With iconic performers from that era like the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, etc, there has always been a desire amongst hardcore fans to "hear it like the artists intended it to be heard." All of these artists mixed in mono for most of their albums so it

Caveat Emptor
Word of warning…this is the same company (Profiles in History) that did the Lost auction. Some of you may remember the controversy surrounding several of the props that looked markedly different from what appeared on screen. In fact, the company had to bactrack on a few items saying they were "built for
