At least Celine's peeps like me
Some updates on recent posts...
Shout out to my friends at the Vines message board...
It seems that my last post, where I noted that a Vines show in 2002 was the second-worst concert I've ever attended, made me some enemies on The Vines' message board (yes, there is such a thing). That's ok, people are free to have differing opinions... and I have no bad feelings towards the Vines - in fact, I'm rooting for them to make a comeback.
Nonetheless, I don't need the Vines message board, because Celine Dion's message board (yes, there is such a thing) adores me! That's due to a review I wrote earlier this year of Meat Loaf's horrific Bat Out of Hell III album, in which I observed that Meat's remake of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" doesn't stand up to Celine's version. That review got posted on Celine's message board and I was showered with praise.
Funny, I have yet to hear from the Bryan Abrams message board about this mean-spirited post...
I was gonna quit performing, but then I got high...
I also noted in my last post that Afro Man's 2001 concert at Penn State was one of the worst I've ever seen. I assumed he'd quit music by now, but get this: He's still performing. In fact, he's doing another show at Penn State - tonight! Bizarre coincidence. I can't imagine who'd want to see him at this point, but God bless him.
I'm not sure about those Rainbows...
I've heard half of the new Radiohead album so far, and, well, let's just say it had better grow on me over time. Because I'm less than impressed. Tracks like House of Cards and Nude are exactly as I remember them when they were played live in 2006 - slow and boring. I'm not against slow songs - in fact, Radiohead have made enough beautiful ballads over their career to fill an entire iPod (You and Whose Army, Exit Music, Life in a Glass House, High & Dry, True Love Waits, Street Spirit, Pyramid Song...) But aside from 15 Step, these new songs don't do anything for me. I'll track down the rest of the record before I draw any firm conclusions.

Messageboards seem to be littered with too many young kids or people who are just too immature to accept anything less than positive comments and ass-kissing praise for their favorite artist. If you say anything slightly negative, all of a sudden you're "a hater." I can't get into messageboards anymore for that reason. I feel like I'm having an argument with a kid that I'm babysitting or something.
Yep, there are a few exceptions but that is generally true. I'm amused by it, sometimes...
