It's because too many parents raise their children with a "boys will be boys" mentality. These parents let their boys run wild instead of teaching them about consequences and how to be respectful, empathetic human beings. This always results in the kid growing up to be a bully and all-around asshole. I've seen it…

Kick them out, and hopefully no one else give them another scholarship.

No no no no no no no no no no no no. Just no. New Kids on the Block were a manufactured musical product. Menudo was a manufactured musical product. Destiny's Child was a manufactured musical product. Patti Smith was and is the opposite of a manufactured musical product. She was a poet who teamed up with a guitarist to…

When you read that excerpt, you come to realize how vapid many of the current crop of so-called music people are today.

Beyonce superfans are the absolute fucking worst and please, I beg of you, come the fuck after me.

You know who has really great skin? Beck.

I'm wondering if I should start training my puppy. She runs like the wind and jumps higher than a rabbit. Maybe she has a future in dog shows?

Actually, at that time—until the mid-80s and Cher, really—all the celebs just bought dresses off the rack and did their own makeup for the Oscars.
