Aerosmith and Lefty and Righty Politics

I'd like to do a documentary set in 1990 surrounding the national storm that Aerosmith set into motion with their song Janie's Got a Gun.

Liberals would be shown bulldozing their Aerosmith CDs (with electric dozers, not diesel of course) in response to the band's unrepentent endorsement of putting down child molestors.

Meanwhile conservative groups would be remembered for forgiving the band's past drug-usin' ways - culminating with the NRA honoring Aerosmith as their "band of the year." Steven Tyler's invitation to the NRA awards banquet would have a hand-written note warning him to "leave the scarves and shit at home." (1)

Somewhere in the documentary the band would be honored by Paramount's Star Trek division, awarding each band member with the status of Admiral, complete with uniform.

Motley Crue Makes Obama Honorary Member for Still Kickin' Ass

After this past weekend's bringing down of Osama Bin Laden in ultimate PvP fashion, hard rock legends Motley Crue reached out to President Obama, making him an honorary member of the band. Nikki Sixx of the Crue said, "We've never done this before, but we figured this was kicking ass of epic proportions. I didn't think it would be a go when I brought it up to the other guys, but when Mick rhapsodized about how good of an idea it was and when I called Tommy at 4 a.m. and he said, 'Sure,' we went ahead and made it official."

When asked about the decision, Vince busted into song, highlighting why the Crue put Obama in the band.

"When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by
I'd say we've kicked some ass

When I'm enraged
Or hittin' the stage
Adrenaline rushing
Through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass"

Na Na Hey Hey [Freddy Kills]

It was the spring of '89 and I was in 6th grade. Many who know me realize I'm quite the prolific songwriter, if not the most competent. In this year, I cowrote with Tom Simons the song, "Na Na Hey Hey [Freddy Kills]."

It's fortunate for me that Bowie isn't the owner of the song rights, as it bears an uncanny similarity to "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." But I digress.

With what has been coined the "Paying of Bin Laden," I was amused to see crowds singing this song in the spirit of good riddance.

CNN DOES Allow Controversial Comment

I was reading an article about a particularly nasty strain of bacteria that can flourish in unclean medical environments. One commentor offered up wisdom that it's a wonder didn't get him silenced, or worse, targeted for a hit by the government. Thankfully, the government and CNN didn't seem to really care. ErikinHawaii says:

"Garlic !!!!!! Garlic cures !!!!!!! It worked wonders for me ! The medical industry can not make a penny off of garlic and it is one of the strongest anti-bacterial nature substances on earth.Anytime you get infection take garlic, if you have to take antibiotics prescribed from a doctor top it off with garlic. I haven't used antibiotics in 14 years. I seriously doubt it that CNN will let this post go."

Steve Koss: So They Have a Cave Troll

Huffington Post recently tried something interesting where Mia Kirschner writes about bullying in a piece called "Grade Three: Rise of the Order." It's a little different than your average coverage of a bullying story, in that it includes three short fictionalized scenes that illustrate the point.

But leave it to a message boards poster to live up to the unnecessary, misanthropic, I'm SO much smarter than you cliche.

Steve Koss, seriously dude...

"When the leaves in the forest next to the school grounds exploded in degradations of red."

Excuse me, but if this post is going to be included under Education, can we at least get the English correct? Degradation means moral or intellectual decadence, or the process of (bio)degrading. It has nothing to do with shades of coloring, for which Ms. Kirshner seemingly meant the word "gradation(s)." Perhaps she should have stuck with "shades," a word she may be better equipped to handle.

Then again, who knows, maybe she's infinitely brighter than I think, and she deliberately misused "degradations" as a literary coinage, a clever foreshadowing of the degrading state her "character" is reduced to by the girls of the Order. N-a-a-a-a-h!

My only hope for Ms. Kirshner's salvation from the rampant despoilage of the Canadian/English language is that she will "refudiate" her usage of the word. Maybe it has something to do with how close you get to the Arctic Circle? I'll have to check with Sarah and Todd Palin on that.

how painfully literal you are, Steve Koss!
quite unable to grasp any figurative or poetic speech, it seems.
let's put it this way: *you're* the one suffering from linguistic inadequacies, mate.
