Nothing bores me more than celebrity news, except maybe celebrity news repeated ad nauseam about rich and famous idiots who enthusiastically clamor for attention by aggressively making a big, steaming shit heap of their otherwise charmed, perfect lives. Yawn City. I wish I had their problems. But today I read this story about Detroit Radio Station 95.5-FM’s Britney Death Watch Contest, and that really caught my interest. Not only because it is extremely politically incorrect – which I am all about – but because mean-spirited, gonzo parody is the way that all celebrity meltdowns need to be treated. No quarter given.

While I am seriously paying for it today in the not-enough-sleep department, I’m so glad I forced myself to watch it as soon as I staggered in the door instead of waiting until tonight, because it was just so good. I admit I was left sitting on my bed at the end going “What? What just happened? Did my tape run out? when the screen cut to black right as Steve Perry was singing the words “Don’t Stop” in the woefully underrated Journey song, “Don’t Stop Believing.” Continue reading My Two Cents on The Sopranos Finale!→
Ask Me What Happened to that 11 x1 4 Framed Halftone of Green Gartside
So, I’m fast asleep in my bed when I am awakened by a loud crash/bang/boom which I immediately identify with some kind of commotion (i.e. loud, drunken assholes who have no sense of consideration for sleeping people) going on between the front door of the building and the stairs…because that’s the wall my bed is up against.
