Rock Star: INXS

Rock Star: INXS is down to the final six. I could just watch these people perform onstage week after week. If the “losers” don’t get full time fabulous careers after the last episode, I say bring ‘em all back and keep playing!

This show blew away any expectations I had about INXS meets American Idol. American who? Head to head, Rock Star would drive American Idol into the ground *AND* break a guitar over their heads just for style. I even envision Ozzy swooping down from the rafters like a giant black cloud and biting the head off Simon Cowell. Ah, but I digress… Pleasantly…

I’m going to be sad to see the show end. I’ll be looking forward to a new INXS album fronted by *ANY* of the remaining singers. I’ve got a theory that INXS might pick two singers - a male and a female. They already have, like, 16 band members, so why not? But after the last episode, I don’t see much chance for a Rock Star: INXS - SEASON 2, Roadie Auditions!

So, CBS, can you get ahold of Eddie Van Halen? Try the dinner theatres in Florida. Maybe you can help them find a singer next…

Embrace Change

My brother got one of the new nickels from the gas station - the one with the return of the buffalo on the back and the big off-center president head on the front. The gas station attendant told him they were thinking about not making this one anymore because people didn’t like it.

If this is actually true, I have one thing to say to these people…

EMBRACE CHANGE! ;-)
(stole Keith’s joke so it’s his fault)

Wedding Music Hell

My brother/business partner is compiling some music for a friend’s wedding. Right now he’s checking the songs before burning them to a CD. This means he has to play them all. Someone already walked into the office with a question while Shania Twain was singing some sickening love song. Now, Barney’s “I Love You” (hey, it’s not *my* wedding!) is playing. This is so entirely gay.

If he doesn’t play some pre-sellout Metallica and Kid Rock to balance this out, I’m going to have to kill him. Softly. Probably to a background melody by Harry Connick, Jr. or Marc Cohn at this rate. It will be a mercy killing. He’ll understand.

eBay Sucks

eBay sucks. Any more it’s like going to a garage sale looking for a “cool find” and discovering it’s all the same junk you can find at K-Mart - only more expensive since some fool thinks the whole auction concept is still a great deal and pushes the bid higher than retail.

Diet Chocolate Rabbit Droppings

I don’t know which is worse… Taking a drink of a soda and finding out it’s actually DIET soda or biting into what you think is a chocolate covered raisin and it’s actually a chocolate covered COFFEE BEAN. Grr. I *hate* coffee!

What did you think I was going to say when I mentioned chocolate covered raisin? You people are sick sick sick. I don’t even own a rabbit.
