Thought's after seeing Green Day's video for "Wake Me Up When September"

" Wow. Green Day woke me up. I have never been MORE anti-Green Day."
" I guess country artists aren't the only folk who make crappy, talking videos"
" I can't wait to run into the next person who uses the words "Green Day" and "punk" in the same sentence. I'll beat them silly!"
" I'm glad they show the horror of war by showing men getting haircuts for a minute."
" I haven't seen such video acting since the great Travis Tritt video trilogy."
" Green Day really speak to me. Right now I hear "We're crap!"

Note: This may or not be Green Day. I don't care.

Michaelbay.com postings update

Anyone else hooked on listening to The Island soundtrack? Ever since I got it in, I listen to it at work and at home.......

I honestly believe there are people out there who just hate Bay no matter what he does. The very sight of his name gives them the shakes. Critics can't digest his success, espceially when every move of his which they tear apart in their reviews, ends up grossing millions..........

Most critics are older guys, and hence, didn't grow up on the work of Michael Bay. To put it simply; they just don't get it. Their commercial filmmakers are Spielberg and Lucas.....Oh well, to each his own. Michael's going to continue making cool films that people love no matter what the critics say.........

I dont think Team America helped any.......

Maybe you're not the right people to ask, but do you have any idea what some people mean when they call Michael "the devil"?.......

Michael Bay.....I will watch every movie you make but go with a reputable producer like Jerry and you'll bring box office gold without people pointing fingers at others.......

We need you now....... (from Just thunkin')

Friday, 22 August 2003
Let me get serious for a moment. Man things are tough. With everything thats going on, we need a person to help us out. A person to help us mend when we are broken, a person to ease our pain when we hurt too much. A person who voices everything we are thinking in perfect detail.

We need you now Chris Gaines.

You came and went so quickly, like a bad idea going through a brain stem, or a record label. You promised to heal us with a Motion Picture, but yet we didn't even get a straight to video release. And the summer of "White Flag", "Snow In July", and "Digging For Gold" playing on every radio everywhere sure kept the peace whenever that year was. Oh I see, you make one perfect album that was so successful and you just drop us, like Jerry Lewis dropping a bunch of pans that go BING BANG BOOM!!!!!.

Come on back, Chris Gaines, and rescue us one more.

Oh, and Garth Brooks? I hope you smash a guitar and a piece goes through your jugular you waste of a pig!!!!
Thanks for listenin'

First Silvio, now this....The coolest person in the world

Rolling Stone Daily 8.12.2005

VAN ZANDT WILL PAY FOR CBGB
STEVEN VAN ZANDT of the E STREET BAND has offered his support to save famed New York club CBGB from closure. Van Zandt proposed a deal to the Bowery Residents' Committee, a nonprofit homeless organization and CBGB's landlord, in which he would serve as a third-party guarantor for the historic punk venue and plan an annual benefit concert for the homeless. He also suggested a more "reasonable" rent increase than the 200-percent increase the Committee is now seeking. "Let us go back to making rock & roll," Van Zandt told Rolling Stone, recalling his conversation with the Committee, "and you go back to helping the homeless." Despite a ruling Wednesday by a Manhattan judge dubbing CBGB a "landmark" and stating that the club does not owe back rent, CBGB's lease expires August 31st. Van Zandt is awaiting a response to his proposal.

Amazing: I actually learned some NEWS from Rolling Stone! That hasn't happened since Ellen came out...... Sorry, wrong mag.

W.T.B.

The first season of 'Who's The Boss' is on DVD. Who's the Boss. Who's The Freakin' Boss. The show with Tony Danza. WHO'S THE BOSS!!!! Goddamn Who the Goddamn Boss!!!! Do You Understand?!?!??!

From Steve Perry:
June 30, 2005
Dear Fans;
It's been brought to my attention that Fan Asylum has been hit by hundreds of e-mails all trying to get a REAL answer to a rumor that has been circulated. As I said back in February 3, 2005:
"The band may be jamming this summer with "X" members, but I will not be one of them."

I was hoping that my February 3rd statement would clear any confusion in this area but due to these e-mails, I decided to again post my original statement.
Question: Is there any truth to the new rumor that you and the band are getting back together this summer when Journey is on the road ?
SP: No, there is NO truth to that rumor. As of May 8, 1998, I'm no longer legally a member of Journey. The band may be jamming this summer with "X" members, but I will not be one of them.

All the best to you and yours in this warm and sexy summer.
Love ya........Steve Perry

Note: A sexy summer?
