I am really getting sick of hearing that every new Rolling Stones album is a revitalized return to form. Let's be really bloody honest, the STones have not had much of a form since around 1981, and all albums subsequent have been generally ploys to push off another pickpocketing tour to see the now almost fully dessicated frame of Richards and the weird perma-gurn of Jagger's mug.

I found this one on Fark, and they stated it pretty much as I would: Green Day wins "Best band on planet" award, but organizers refuse to say what planet that is or which one they're from. Oddly enough, Kerrrang! (the organizers) showed a clue when they gave Iron Maiden a Hall of Fame induction while Killing Joke received the lifetime achievement award. But whatever in God's cosmos were they thinking about Green Day is beyond me. I still remember watching their pitiful performance at the forst BFD show at Shoreline Amphitheatre many years ago. They were shockingly whiny & dull then, and have not improved since.

Dear Tennessee Attorney General. Drop it. It's just bad music, not advertising for bad habits (unless you consider listening to bad music a bad habit).
