And now a word from Pee-Wee Herman... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f03WDDwz2bo&feature=related

I'll have to find the Letterman bit from tonight where he talked about the NBC Shuffle. It's not on youtube yet. Funny and honest stuff. Also, Craig Ferguson said a lot too on this matter.

Now if we can finally find out who murdered Bob Hope.

Fair enough! The great twist would be that Bono is really the Anti Christ.

I don't see why he or anyone in that position of celebrity can't do both. Or could someone even do the issues with such a broad platform without already being established as someone big? Well, I'm sure you know that the ZOO TV tour was a "wink wink" joke. Bono really had fun with making fun of his 80s persona with such characters as The Fly, the Mirror Ball Man, and Mr. MacPhisto. I don't know why I typed that...oh, maybe just to say that he's aware of his ego and has in the past made fun of it. He has walked the fine line of parody in the past decade. I'm shocked that those kids used AT

(I'm not picking on you Speed Racer, I'm using the above as an example of pop music) You should have issues with the people who played the music and not U2. I highly doubt that said track and cross country team really played Grace or New York off of that album to get them pumped up. I agree Beautiful Day got severely overused, especially by the New England Patriots. But you should really be blaming the fickle people who jumped on the Beautiful Day bandwagon and not the U2 bandwagon. It was the song of that moment for whatever reason and now I'm sure those same people either scoff at the idea o

You got to love the idea that we actually have a portable communication tool that you can call somebody on and talk to them and/or text message someone. Most people choose to text instead and they do it while they fucking drive. Why is that? Is that because most people have a hard time to know when to end a conversation and are thereby ashamed to call someone? What about all those people who would laugh in school when our teachers told us that people "back in the day" used to send each other letters: lovers, brothers, soldiers, Publisher's Clearing House? How could we change our collective mi

U2 sure seems like the George Clooney of the music industry. People love to hate them both and don't know why. So George and Bono want to sing you a little song from their tattered hearts. Boys! No one likes us-We don't know why We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try But all around, even our old friends put us down Let's drop the big one and see what happens We give them money-but are they grateful? (though it's not by the crateful) No, they're spiteful and they're hateful They don't respect us-so let's surprise them We'll drop the big one and pulverize them Asia's crowded and Eu

Creed. No questions asked. No doubt about it. I would post a pic of them to get my point across that all that it takes is one look at that monstrosity of a "lead singer" and you'd say "uh huh". But I won't cause my fellow VCers to turn to stone.

This reminds me of a ticket story from this past September for U2. I know that this is why I was helping out Nomis in his "are they real tickets" quest. I sold a U2 GA ticket on the 1st of September because I hadn't seen the money from my best friend's friend whom I really don't know too well. The week of the show I had to scramble to find him a ticket. I kept hearing "maybe" via my best friend on his friend seeing U2 3 times over the course of 2 weeks and 2 cities. Some guy on the U2 message board sold me a GA ticket for $50 and threw in the other GA ticket for no extra cost. He couldn't m

I'm afraid of the ticket scalpers (online or not) abusing this return policy. Although, it could be used to reveal who these people are lurking in the shadows. I'm sure these people have "ticket runners" and don't buy all of these tickets themselves.(yeah, I'd like to return 20 tickets...uhm?!) Imagine ticket scalper A the night before the show or day of and says "ok, I can't sell these overpriced tickets at $200 a pop, so I'm going to get my money back and not lose anything." As opposed to ticket scalper A losing money, since no one (save for the rich) would pay $200 for a ticket and that sc

Yes. I like the idea, but I find it too addictive for me and probably others to buy like crazy then return like crazy. I'll give you an example 1) You need a ticket so you catch a ride with your friends and you find a person selling a ticket outside the venue for below face value to get rid of the ticket. You buy it and everything goes smoothly. 2) Same scenario except you are afraid of buying from people on the street no matter how low they go to get rid of a ticket, so you venture to the nearby box office where it is still face value plus a service charge. Obviously example 1 can bite you

Ah...I had to reread this a few times. At first I thought you meant that you wanted everyone to have an option of sending their tickets back if they decided they couldn't go or even worse deciding not to go. That would be horrible. I know of a few friends who I stopped buying tickets for about 5-7 years ago. (the fact that I had to buy tickets for them speaks volumes about their shitty passive nature. Edit: On top of that the tickets had to be the best seats in the house and the cheapest, if they passed inspection I'd get paid the night of the show or after the fact) It was all "I'd like to go

I'm sure people know what's going on with the proposed merger between Live Nation & Ticketmaster. So I took this from the Minnesota Independent on December 31, 2009. "Minneapolis’ First Avenue night club is urging its supporters to oppose a proposed merger between Live Nation, one of the nation’s largest promotions companies, and Ticketmaster the nation’s largest ticket seller. The United Kingdom approved the merger last week prompting venues and consumer groups to ramp up efforts to urge the Department of Justice to reject the merger on anti-trust grounds. “In the last 12 years, since

LOL. I love Craig Ferguson. Almost all of his monologs and interviews are amazing. I need to find the episode from last month where he was a "puppet". It was pretty amazing. He had on Jason Schwartzmann and Kristen Bell and Jason Segel who did his Dracula's Lament with the same puppet from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41m_DDKejAI&feature=related

Choosy moms choose Jiffy Lube Live.

It's certainly being advertised that way with it's tagline "You will never watch movies the same way again." I've heard that the story is very similar to Dances With Wolves. And people I know, who generally don't like big budget movies short on story, actually liked this film. I haven't seen it yet, but I think once I do I will have low expectations going in.

OK. Then I guess my issue is with ESPN. Am I the only one who feels like they don't see anything similar about the NFL Super Bowl or the NBA or NHL All Star Games on the crawl screen? Maybe my eyes get glued to the crawl when it says MLB and I expect to see something about a trade. Anyways, it's really no big deal just an observation that I've made every day since December.

What I can't get over is the MLB Network & ESPN listing the Opening Day Red Sox vs. Yankees game on the crawl screen every day since last month. 3 f^&cking months away!

LOL. I love how the 1st thing that crossed my mind was "Wait, do I remember that?" or better yet "Wait, do I have that boot?"
