SNL
Shouldn't SNL be booking better acts than Ashlee Simpson anyway? I mean C'mon already.
Interpol, Ambulance, Thrills, Killers all come to mind as better choices. Or do a throw back with Camper Van Beethoven, AMC, or even Duran Duran would at least be a curiosity. Wilco maybe?
Enough with these phony acts that have not talent, and can't even perform their own songs.
SNL should be hip, and a bit more forward thinking. Just a thought.
Sawks backlash; Ok enough with the woe is Boston stuff ok. I'm still pulling for them, but enough already, they've had more success than a number of teams, and more importantly they have money to go buy players. I'm not a fan of either Texas team, but Hou, and Texas would both trade with you. They only 'deserve' to win if they go out and win it.

Oh. So. Delicious. I loved how at the close of the show, Ashlee has the audacity to blame the Milli Vanilla lip synch screw up on the band. Bitch, the band tried to save you! They were playing live and switched quickly to "Pieces of Me" in an attempt to save your ass. I don't think they minded though. Watch for the knowing look between the bass player and the lead guitar player when Ashlee freaks and walks off stage.
That said, I remember watching The Clash performing on SNL in 1982 and being throughly unimpressed. I thought they were really flat. But better to see a band fail on their own than a phony suceed with trickery, I say.
Interesting philosophical question; Is it better to watch the failure of giants than to see failures act like giants?
Off on another Pills, Thrills & Bellyaches related tangent. I was just listening to the song "Cowboy Dave" off the Happy Mondays very average and drug induced "Yes Please." I've never listened to this song long enough to hear hidden track containing a series of Shaun Ryder smacked-up prank phone calls.
"Hello, White House."
"Yes, this is Shaun Ryder calling from Manchester England. Can I speak to the President?"
"He's not in."
"Is he well?"
It's not particularly funny. And the album is not particularly good. So maybe it's appropriate somehow that the last words ever uttered on the last Happy Mondays album ever was a bad prank phone call.
There's a little Madchester philosophizing for you. Put that in yer pipe and smoke it.
