If you were Michael Jackson, and you were constantly having to deal with claims that you have been molesting young boys for years, would you really think it was a good idea to hire a lawyer namedCharles F. Gay Jr.to defend you? I know I wouldn’t. Sure, maybe he’s the best lawyer out there, but …

Huh?
This is a direct quote from a news item in an email I got fromRolling Stone.Does it sound as strange/stupid to anybody else as it does to me? “SUGE KNIGHT pled no contest to driving without insurance and making an illegal U turn in San Bernardino County, last February. The Death Row Records labelhead was …
Why Is It…?
Why is it that on extreme weather days, people always feel the need to start every conversation off with “hot enough for ya?”, as if they somehow have control over a thermostat that they can turn up if you happen to say “no?”, And even if somebody could do that for you, what would be …
My Name Is John Daker…
A couple of updates here in 2023. The links in the post don’t work anymore, so this two and a half minute video of Jon Daker’s performance will have to do unless I can track down video of the whole thing again. John or Jon (I’m not sure why his name is spelled differently everywhere …
NWA: Nina With Attitude
I was talking with somebody the other day, (I think it was Carin actually), and we got talking about cover songs, specifically ones that sound nothing like the originals. I didn’t think about this one at the time, but now that I have, I figured I might as well share it with all of you …

All of the songs are picked by Brad himself, and each new posted instalment will feature 5 or so tunes that he finds himself digging at any …
Seethirvana?
I’ve heard the new Seether song “Remedy” a couple of times now and I’m kind of liking it. It’s pretty rockin’, it’s catchy, and it’s got that unexplainable thing about it that just makes me like certain songs. But tell me something, am I the only one who thinks that they could have slipped that …
Green Day
Last night I went and saw Green Day in concert, and wow, that’s all I can say. They put on an absolutely fantastic show. The set was a really well put together mix of new and old and even though a couple of albums weren’t as well represented as others, I have no complaints. Everything …
