I'm just curious if anyone's heard anything about the band. The last thing I heard was that Gary Chirone was kicked out (a good thing), and that the July 4th, 2000 concert featuring David Lee Roth was a no-go b/c Eddie Van Halen found out he had cancer of the tongue (not such a good thing).

What IS it with you people? Moody Blues? Backstreet Boys? And now Van frigging Halen?! Add to that Sol's inability to like a band if anyone else in the world has heard of it. . . And as for They Might Be Giants, here's a bit of wisdom for y'all: the liking of a band based on their funny-clever lyrics is an adolescent thing you grow out of really quickly.
Now excuse me, I'm going to listen to some Abba to calm my nerves.

ABBA = Shittiest shit shit ever shitted. In fact, a giant piece of shit, after eating a big bowl of shit, couldn't shit more shit than the shit that is Abba.
You're damn right you're a dancing queen. Shit.

Jeez, UM, you went from nerdish, to amusingly weird, to bile-spitting hater of everything. ABBA are okay, if you're in the mood.

Nimrod: Erm... "Aqualung" is by Jethro Tull. I didn't even put any Pink Floyd songs in that contest. But, please, by all means, get hooked on Pink Floyd. :-)

Although it's much easier to get hung on Simon. You could get several large elephants to hang on him, without any droop what so ever.

Actually, I was just thinking about things I hate, and I'd really kinda picked up on one: I hate renting videos.
No, really. I really fucking hate everything about the process. I hate video rental stores, they're either small and dingy local corner-shop places or vast soulless auditoria like Blockbuster. I hate the staff, morons one and all, yet thinking "huh, I'm so cool, I work in a video store, it's deeply post-modern, man" - Quentin Tarantino has a lot to answer for.
I hate video boxes. They're crass. Garish covers which always misrepresent the content of the movie, so you get assholes who go on the IMDB and slam a great film like "Sonatine" because they thought from the box they were getting a John Woo movie. And all this desperate need to appeal to the masses - "from the co-screenwriter of TITANIC!" the cover blurb screams.
And ultimately it's the whole meaning of videos I hate. The fact that I'm out, but I'm gonna go home with this vid, and, whether with friends or by myself I'm going to stay in and watch TV. Plough through half an hour of crap trailers first. If I'm with friends, I know we won't really watch the film - we'll be joking about it, talking of other things, getting drunk or stoned. . . Or how I used to be at home with my parents, knowing that this will be the only feature of my Saturday night. Reminding me that my life used to suck that much.
So, I watch digital satellite instead, I like the unpredictability.

Yeah, you've sure got it bad. You're so opressed, you'd think you were a minority.
Well, I say: Fuck The Man!

The kid at 824 Staffordshire who orders a small pizza and a soda for $9.33 and gives me a $.50 tip and thinks he's awesome for being such a high tipper. Gee, thanks kid.
Now, the old fart at 10-C Firefly actually thinks he's tipping well when he gives me a quarter (and tells me not to "spend it all in one place"), and I can't really blame him for that, because he's probably been alive since the Civil War (he looks it, at least).
The people that really piss me off are the corporations. McCormick Spices, MBNA, MCI, UPS, etcetra. Order fifty pizzas and twenty 2-liters? No problem, put it on the company card, no limit for our employees! Oh, I'm sorry, a tip? No, we can't afford that. Tah-tah!
I love college students. Especially on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm offered beer, CDs, and just about everything possible (including a few cats, a busted computer monitor, cereal & McDonald's kid meal toys, and of course, sex). There's nothing better than dropping off a $10.49 pizza, being handed three fives, "keep the change man, wanna come in and have a beer and play some pool?" and playing a quick game of pool, while tucking the beer into the hot-bag to save for another day. Ahhhh, pizza delivery.
Or being pulled over by a cop for speeding. "Sir, do you know how fast you were goi -- wait, you work for Papa Johns?" "Yep." "With Wayne?" "Yep." "Good man. Take it easy, you hear?" "Yep!" ::drive off::
It's great during the summer. I don't have an air-conditioning unit, but I've got something better: a car that can shed its doors and top in warm weather. Now, if only I didn't have vinyl seats ... oh well.
