Loverboy and Frances Bean
Frances Bean Cobain has hit the news, its only a matter of time when she starts her own band right? Well there is one band who will be watching her with great interest. Mike Reno and Loverboy, who have recently been seen at Amusement Parks and of course Hit Me Baby One More Time.
Why you ask?
Well I was watching on VH-1 Where are They Know a ways back... and they were interviewing... Mike Reno from Loverboy, and he claimed that Killed his career.... Because RIGHT... it was THAT that spelled the end of Loverboy... and not the ripped zubas and headbands... (Interesting Interview with Kurt and Courtney where he mentions Mike Reno, sorta.)
So I mused to my buddy Kale... how funny will it be when Loverboy goes on the road... for a reunion tour... get a little buzz going... and then Frances Bean starts a band and explodes a nouveau grunge era scene... I figure Reno shoots himself Cobain style on that one...
It's a matter of time. and now onto today's links:
- These Aren't Activist Judges
- These are ELECTED OFFICIALS making these decisions. Of course, if Arnie vetoes, you are looking at a lock for A$$-hole of the week.
- The Emperor's New Clothes
- Gay bashing? Or Free Speech trouncing? Protection from the FCC?? Or Shilling for the GOP? You decide.
- Barbara Bush "Good Enough for the Poor"
- Boy Ol Boy, Look what Old Money can do you to you. Never met a Republican* that helped a damn person. *Politician, that is.
- Yahoo! collaborating with Red China
- Remember the Cold War? It was so much simpler back then. No we have to nominate great companies like Yahoo! for A$$-hole of the week. McCarthy must be telling Hitler I told you so in Hell right now.
- Ham Radio Operators Making a Difference in Katrina Relief
- We're going to keep up the Ham Radio stories here. I feel a kinship with Amateur Radio Operators. Of course these folks are actually making a difference, while I'm just a big ol goof.
- The Mummer's Dance
- One of the Pows of the Day inspired me here. I'm pretty sure she wasn't singing about New Years Day in Philly.
- Sports Guy | More Cowbell
- More good stuff from the Sports Guy.
