Not Bitter

This is sad, I came up with this site to bitch about things and now I'verun out of most of my A list material. I guess that I'm not as bitter and angry as I thought I was. Maybe I should change the name of this blog to "Shiny,Happy Thoughts." Nah, that'll never work for me. I've never been one of those shiny, happy people that REM sung about. Then again I've never been a big fan of REM, so no wonder. They stopped being cool in the 80's (at least in my book).

I heard that Van Halen is making a comeback. I heard a rumor that they have picked yet another new singer and added a few new members to the band. In an effort to expand their fan-base, they have added another keyboardist and a sax player. Yes, you heard it here first. Eddie has decided to bring on John Tesh and Kenny G to help round out the band. In an effort to bring in more Midwestern housewives and the soft rock crowds, they are adding the lyrical stylings of none other than Michael Bolton.

Now after reading that, aren't you depressed. Good! If that were to really happen, I just may have to go "postal" at these concerts. The sad thing is that some of you out there would be happy to see such a travesty happen. Van Halen is (was) an incredible,dynamic band, but,alas, their time has passed. The aforementioned artists (I use that term loosely), have no talent whatsoever. They are the reason behind the "pussification" of our music and our country. A great man once said that we are harder than our parents generation and will be harder than our kids. We are the generation who grew up with greats like Sabbath, Maiden, Slayer, AC/DC, Megadeth and even Dio. Music like that is not being created these days,but instead is being used to make background music for new "artists." Let's bring back the good old days before Ozzy became a household name, before he was medicated. All of us 30-40 year-olds need to rise up and teach these little shits what music is all about. The stuff they call "rap" isn't even real rap. Lest we forget great artists like NWA,Public Enemy, Run-DMC, 3rd Bass, Chubb Rock, or even Chunky A. This was before the "East-Coast v. West Coast" rivalry. It was music that had a message (positive or negative), but it still had something to say.

We need music with a message, and now!!!!

That's it for now.
