Friday Fives

1. Tell us a good bar story! ok, this is embarrassing... but what good bar story isn't. One time in Vegas I was drunk. Simple enough story, right? Well, it being a long day and all that drinking and heat... I got tired. So, decided to put my feet up to relax. No crime in that, eh? Well, I had put my feet up on the green felt of a gaming table. Right, that uh... didn't go over real well. It gets worse. When the security folks came over and asked me to take me feet down (a more than reasonable request), for some reason I called them 'white slavers' and 'oppressors'. They, quite wisely, kicked me out. 2. What are your favorite album covers of all time? Electric Ladyland (Hendrix)- Unforgettable Fire (u2) - Blind Faith (boobies!) - All Things Must Pass (George Harrison) - Physical Graffitti (Led Zep) - you have to experience the vinyl one. It was an interactive building where you could change the scenes in the windows. Also, the first 5 of so Dylan albums are all cool.

3. List your favorite insult! F*ck you! It is a classic! A timeless piece of portable hate that transcends both race and gender. Always there at the ready, a trusted companion. 4. You've got to "go away" for a while and you're only allowed to bring 5 movies on DVD. What would they be? Forrest Gump, U2 - Elevation Live (Boston, 2001), Blues Brothers (the new edition has 45 minutes added), Oceans 11, and Oceans 12 (which they are making now, will be out in Christmas). Now, about this 'going away'. Do you know something I do not? Are you trying to tell me something? Have you heard about my case? 5. What are some of the worst lyrics (lines or entire songs) in music history? Please cite examples. Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Women 'She blew my nose and then she blew my mind'. There is nothing more to say about any other song. That is singlehandedly the worst piece of shit poetry ever committed to a page. I mean, there are many others... but this line keeps me up at night. ok, one more. This is from Motley Crue's first album (which is great. It is very aggressive, no glam yet). Anyhow, we think they are talking about sex here - 'Tight Action, Rear Traction, so hot you really blow me away'. The entire disc is full of 16 year old bad poetry like that, but it rocks unconditionally. via Roy
