I'm really, incredibly sorry to do this, but it can't be helped…

Exactly my point. If you're going to retroactively bestow genre categories on bands that existed well before those categories were created, what are the rules? Is Screamin' Jay Hawkins goth? Horror punk?

So when did it become okay to come right out and call the MC5 a 'punk' band? Used to be you had to qualify it with 'proto' or something. Now that I think of it, the Stooges get this same pass.

Seriously, you guys. Bromancing the Stone would fucking work. It's a golden idea. I guess for TV they'd have to recast… how about James Van Der Beek as the author, and Dennis Hastert as the adventurer? Or that Idris Elba guy everyone likes? Biracial in the hizzy y'all!

Can you smell what the Rock's cooking in his banana sling? WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I definitely think they should have just stopped after Joshua Tree. RHCP should have given it up after Mother's Milk, IMHO. BSSM has some okay songs, and I freely admit I listened to it way too much in 1991, but I think the world would be an okay place without it and everything they've done since.

I thought he was great in Diggers. There was a lot of Ron Donald in that role, in that he's a sincere guy who just doesn't quite get what he's doing wrong.

Made me feel upset in the late 90s. To this day I can't see a Jackie O. outfit without getting the creeps.

Good point. You're right, it is a lot easier to write something if you have something to say. I guess what I was getting at is that it's never EASY, even if you're on fire. And of course then you have to edit, which can actually take years for some people :)

TO HAIL! With! THE DEBBIL!!!!!

Hi, My name is Rex Laos. LET"S ROCK THIS STADIUM METAL TO THE MAXXX!!!!!!

Oh yeah and fuck Dave Eggers and his hipster-lit persona.

That movie is fucking annoying. I mean, come on. He goes out of his way throughout the whole thing to be a self-centered, lazy fuckhead.

Yeah, that came out wrong. There's that myth that Writing with a capital W (by the way, why do you do that to words, Lobsters? Are you from the 18th century?) is this magical thing that happens when one has a poetic soul, and the only work involved is getting the world out of the way so the magic can happen.

I want to believe that Billy Corgan actually gets on here, doing everything he can to convince people that he ACTUALLY IS BILLY CORGAN, YOU GUYS, but we're so jaded that we could never, ever believe it.

That was nice
Really good! There's a little bit of not-quite-snark conveyed by the allusions to things Serling used to say on the Twilight Zone, but in the end you make it clear that this could be a good thing.

Sorry In Advance…
…but listen. I know it's a free site and I have no room to really bitch, but I come here a lot so I'd like to just say one thing.
I have to take exception to the default snark position taken on every single news item. It's like a weird bizarro-world take on news objectivity, except instead of trying…
