"'Bob Dylan' is not his real name. The 'Ramones' were not related. 'Sun Ra' was from Alabama, not Saturn. The Strokes' dads are not plumbers. 'Rick Ross'… look, we don't have time for this."

Aw, I miss the Black Kids.
But make no mistake, GWAR is GWAR, and you will all die.
"Let no man speak against Video Games." I hear you, it's an artifact, but what about the women? Do they get a say?
"breathtaking bullshit" seems about right, the album manages to be both great and cringe-making, often at the same time.
I'm sorry, if you can speak English, you have no excuse for enjoying LDR. Her lyrics are beyond terrible. They are a 14 year old's idea of emotive.
@deepomega: I'm sorry, if you can speak English, you have no excuse for enjoying *. Her lyrics are beyond terrible. They are a 14 year old's idea of emotive.
*Lana del Rey, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Florence & the Machine...
@deepomega - So are these, by a completely shitty band:
She says she loves you, and you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you, and you know you should be glad
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah, et the fuck cetera.
@Leon Saint-Jean I would be pretty willing to argue that that is an awful song. And, you know, was written 60 years ago? I have higher standards for pop originality and thoughtfulness for those who come later.
Dad didn't particularly object to jazz music. He thought some of it was downright catchy. But he felt that we devoted far too much time to it, that the words were something more than suggestive, and that the kind of dancing that went with it might lead to serious consequences. As he walked from room to room in the house, jazz assailed him from phonograph after phonograph, and he sometimes threw up his hands in disgust.
"Da-da, de-da-da-da," he bellowed sarcastically. "If you spent half as much time improving your minds as you do memorizing those stupid songs, you could recite The Koran forwards and backwards. Wind up the victrola and let's have some more jazz. Da-da, de-da-da-da. Let's have that record about 'I love my sweetie a hundred times a night.'"
"You made that song up," we told him. "That's not a record, Daddy."
"Maybe it's not a record," he said. "But take it from me, it's well above average. Da-da, de-da-da-da."
@melis Wait, which one of us are you accusing of eventually being played by Steve Martin in a lackluster book-to-movie adaptation?
@deepomega THAT WAS NOT AN ADAPTATION
THAT MOVIE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK
RRRRRR
Also I guess Leon would be my accusation. Sorry, Leon, but, you know.
Also Dr. Hook was actually just a dentist.
@My Number Is My Address - Professor Longhair was my Intro to Linear Algebra instructor.
@My Number Is My Address you're thinking of Dr. Teeth (of Electric Mayhem fame).
