Criswell predicts: within the next 10 years we will elect a President of the United States who sports a glorious mullet.

But if you owned a limo service or an upscale catering service, restaurant, hotel, or cocaine dealership in L.A. I'm sure you would have the Golden Globes marked on your calendar every year. GG night probably only excites people who have a monetary interest in it.

If they wanted to go OLD they could have gotten Neil Young. He's currently on tour in North America, so it would have fit his schedule. Of course he has that whole artistic integrity thing that might have caused him to decline the invite, but no harm in asking him. Maybe next year.

Lovely and soulful songs. I don't know much about reggae so this GtG is perfect for me.

Neil Young. Johnny Cash.

When I was a kid I thought the chorus to Kiss's "Shock Me" was the following:

I agree. It sounds like a complete disaster as a musical experience, but a truly memorable disaster and a fun story to tell.

Black Sabbath. They put out Heaven And Hell in 1980 and Mob Rules in 1981. Those are two of the best records they ever made.

Van Halen definitely should have stayed drunk and coked up. Sobriety devoured their souls.

"Area Rock?" Are you talking about Kansas and Boston? They played both arena rock and area rock. Chicago was mostly just area rock.

Armpit stains? Obese people sweat a lot.

Rob Halford is gayer than Stipe and he's a badass. Stipe has said he is "about 80% gay," whereas Halford is 100% gay. Halford is superior to Stipe, even in the gayness department.

R.E.M. are pussies.

I agree. I once worked in a small construction business that died because my stupid asshole co-workers always showed up to work late and hungover, and then insisted on getting stoned during work. It was infuriating. For a couple years after that I was really negative about marijuana. Just seeing it or smelling…

Lars has also gotten lazy with the kick drum. His double bass playing is just plain bad now.

Rainbow is my prime example of a band blowing it. They put out three classic and influential rock records, then Richie Blackmore decided to blow up the band and reform it as a bubblegum pop group. Fucking retarded. When I listen to those 3 records, I can't help thinking there should have been more.

Those repeated references to "Bad R.E.M." made me LOL because I'm old enough to remember the days when aping R.E.M. was synonymous with edgy indie rockers cashing out their street cred for a big payday. That was a horrid trend for those of us who considered R.E.M. to be overrated bullshit, as I did then and still…

WTF? Does Black really believe that it's wrong for fans to ask questions about lineup changes of a band? Is he not aware that he works in show business? He acts like he's an office manager instead of a show biz personality.

You can call him Ray, or you can call him William, or you can call him Ray William, etc.

Bill Maher is an intellectual? You're joking, I hope.
