In other news, Alice Cooper has accused Maynard Keenan of identity theft.

Saying “I believe women” is an odd thing to say, given women are people, and people lie. For a variety of reasons. But regardless, I also agree with pretty much everything you say here. 

Dom DeLuise, John Candy, Chris Farley...the evil thing checks out!

“Demon” was one of those “what on the tv I’m bored” things when I was a wee prat.

That story is surely the absolute, all-time, gold standard in terrifying dystopian futures. It makes the worlds of 1984 or The Matrix look like Club Med. RIP Mr. Ellison.

Wow, shocked, though I understand he hadn’t been too well the last several years. Ellison was one of my very favorite authors, loved his fiction, non-fiction, contributions to television, film - he contributed across such a wide range of genres: speculative, science & crome fiction, fantasy, mystery, all his…

He said you were “the Hank Aaron of bed-wetting.”

“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL…

I’ve heard enough stories about Harlan to know that ‘prickly’ is putting it mildly. My only personal interaction with him was when he phoned my husband and I one night - we ran a small press publishing company specialising in classic ghost/horror stories - because he’d heard we were doing a collection of stories by…

Tigger, please.

I mean, if your culture is fragile enough that emojis might cause major unrest, I think the problem isn’t the emojis.

This all comes from not having front doors big enough.

Oh, bother.

It’s become the outrage of the week.

I haven’t been into this band in many years, but still, I just don’t get this. Multiple shows canceled over one tasteless joke? Seems like massive overkill. What do venues think they’re going to get when they book a punk band, anyway? If the Sex Pistols were still touring, these folks would probably feel obligated to…

The music snob in me wonders why they weren’t banned for their shitty music as opposed to their shitty jokes...

Good article, seems to capture the influence and size of the band, and how important they were to metal as a whole. RIP.

They introduced me, you and So many to metal in the 90s. They were an incredible band. Outstanding. Im saddened to see this, I just recently started listening to them again alot lately, after more than 14 years. 

Vulgar Display of Power definitely introduced me to metal with the same punch as the album cover, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Dimebag’s was the first celebrity death that hit me. The ever loving and grieving brother is now finally at peace. RIP Vinnie.
