Dear Adrian Brunton,
Lemme speak for Sarah when I say the following...
People that bombard her email with this nasty crap should be considered SPAM. Thats right, Adrian... You are canned ham. Just becuase we complain about our high gas prices doesnt make it wrong if you have higer gas prices. It's all the same bull. The prices suck! So instead of spammin Sarah's inbox why dont you email hmmm... i dunno, your government... or mine I dont care. Just leave the striped-shirt cutie alone :-)
I say it with love.

I believe that was Kelly. It's too bad he's leaving. He could have been the next: "Joey the intern."
"

Thomas Jefferson is Officially a bad ass. As a rebuttal for the Adams' Campaign stating he was dead, the Jefferson camp gave the following statement about Mr. Adams...
"A hideous hermaphroditical character who has neither the force and the firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."

"...
my main concern is dropping the term rock band. I'd have to say none of the bands sounded at all like Rock. They are more Alternative. .... Just because A band consists of a Drummer guitar bass and singer doesn't make them a rock band..."
A lot of bands/people still call things like Rascal Flatts "Country" even though the only thing country about them is they wear cowboy boots, cowboy hats, use an acoustic guitar in all songs, and sing with a slight twang... Though that goes to the whole "Country" subculture, which apparently you just have to do one of those things to get in, even though everything else is nothing more than current pop culture, anyways, just a small rant. However, I do agree, they need to label them correctly or not use the label at all.

Another good episode. I don't really have a problem with the background... It would probably be even better if i watched heathers part after droppin acid lolz.
my main concern is dropping the term rock band. I'd have to say none of the bands sounded at all like Rock. They are more Alternative. .... Just because A band consists of a Drummer guitar bass and singer doesn't make them a rock band.
Here's 2 just off the top of my head that maybe aren't the best but still are more rock then all the bands shown already combined.
Coke Dares
Whole Wheat Bread
