I was thinking about that piece… Kim Thayil proves a great foil to Corgan's hysterics. It's like, who would you rather have a beer with?

Soundgarden rules! THEY FUCKING RULE!!! [throws punches at nothing]

Word.

Definitely one of those "Am I the only one who saw this, much less liked it" films for me. I remember it getting savage reviews when it came out, even from those who would fall into the loosely defined target audience (too close to home, perhaps?).

As has been said before (really, what hasn't been said about the most scrutinized trial of its year?), but Zimmerman's really flimsy defense was based on, among others, the contention he was completely defenseless against a beatdown from a teenager who weighed less than him (Zimmerman was also training to be a cop,…

Still searching for any joke that can be made out of Bob Dylan's real name being Bob Zimmerman.

I was kind of thinking along those lines this week as Bill O'Reilly was trying to initiate a feud with Jon Stewart.
