Yeah! I mean, everybody knows that the best breakfast at Disney World is the Tonga Toast at the Polynesian Resort. So they've got that going for them!

I love how the latest spam in the HT thread talks about Jesus changing lives then goes immediately into advertising nude pics. It's really covering all the bases there.

Nah, not really all the bases. But it does cover the American Bible Belt.

Speaking of those two things, isn't there a new Prince album coming out soon?

From one of my favorite snarky celebrity gossip web sites:

"Our thoughts and prayers are with cancer during this difficult time as it battles Donald Sterling."

Great line!

When word of Reagan's cancer had just broken, A Boston DJ read the lines, then added, Yes! There IS a God!" We all laughed. He got suspended.

AND

Last week, a man in New Brunswick, NJ was awarded 1.5m by a judge in a suit filed against the city that forbade him to name his new establishment "Buck Foston's Sports Bar." Nice!

And

Last week we all learned that it can take decades longer to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that it does to become a Saint!

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll! If you wanna become a saint, eh, not so much.

I know that sonicfox and RockHead will like this one:

Rated PG-13 due to language.

I just discovered http://www.markprindle.com and the many record reviews he did from 1996 - 2011.

Bob, is he your long-lost cousin or something? Because I read his reviews with your voice in my head.

Here's the introductory paragraph from his page of Rush reviews, mildly NSFW due to Bob-like language:

---

Oh, Rush. Scourge of a nation. Murderer of a generation. Defamer of the eras. What is it with Rush, eh? You either love 'em or you hate 'em, right? Sure sure. It makes it easier to categorize them like that and not bother discussing their good points and bad. But dammit, I'm not an easy man. I'm a hard man. And I'm here to set the record (my own personal opinion) straight on Rush.

Rush is a band for nerds. Sorry, hate to break it to you like that, but they are. Drummer Neil Peart writes lyrics like "High on the sacred mountain/Up the seven thousand stairs/In the golden light of Autumn/There was magic in the air." Singer/bassist Geddy Lee has the high geeky voice of a guy who, as my girlfriend puts it, "has been playing Dungeons & Dragons his whole life." And guitarist Alex Lifeson???? Well, he seems okay. Not sure what he's doing hanging out with those other two dorks.

Now let me get to the good points of Rush, those that may be - all three of them are topnotch at their instruments. Sometimes it's hard to tell, because their songwriting can be a bit simplistic, but if you sorta pay closer attention, you can hear that behind their silly overblown mystical nonsense, they've got a helluva nimble-fingered bassist, a crapuva lightning-speed beauty run ambiance guitarist who doesn't hog the spotlight, and one vulva bigass drum kit. Again, sometimes it's just hard to tell. A little TOO hard, thanks. With spotty hard rock songwriting in the '70s and an overreliance on keyboards and generic pop melody in the '80s (not to mention one of the most 'has to grow on you' lead vocalists of all time), it was perhaps inevitable that they would end waiting until the '90s and '00s to put out their most instantly likable releases. At any rate, I used to loathe Rush, but something in the middle of 2005 (a few good albums in a row? a few solid live triple-CDs? me turning gay?) made me suddenly become a fan and supporter. I don't even hate Geddy Lee's voice anymore! Plus, I just feel so goddamned sorry for the drummer who lost so many beloved family members right at the same time (father, wife and daughter if memory serves. I could be remembering wrong though, so feel free to correct me via email or yardstick). So keep it up, Rush! You may have some lousy songs, but you have some great ones too! Plus, you're Canadian and one of you was on Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Take Off"! You're still a nerd band for loser dorks though.
