I know this is a classic rock radio station that I work at but I think we can and should all appreciate the genius that is "Weird" Al Yankovic. He's always known the right song to parody at the right time and does it while being family friendly. Some of it pushes the limits but his stuff is so incredibly silly that I LOVE IT.
He's got a new album out called Alpocalypse and the first single is a parody of Lada Gaga's "Born This Way". Check out the video.
I've always been scared of someone just coming into where I live. I'd like to think that we're pretty safe in Canada though you never know what can happen. Here's a scary news story from Colorado. Look how she got out of trouble!
Stupid...maybe. Gutsy...absolutely! I don't think I could have kept my composure like she did!
All along, I thought this rivalry was all about hockey. All about what happened on the ice. For years, the Montreal Canadiens have ousted the Boston Bruins in the playoffs but it seems like things are starting to favor Boston. Although Montreal won the season series this year, Boston beat Montreal 8-6 in their second last meeting of the regular season in a game full of line brawls and destroyed them 7-0 in their final meeting of the year. Last night, their playoff series wrapped up with Boston finally getting the better of the Canadiens in a Game 7.
Jack Edwards, a play-by-play man for NESN proves that the Bruins/Canadiens rivalry goes MUCH deeper than what happens on the ice.
Wow.
Alright...Glee seems to be the most popular show on television and I don't really understand it. I mean, these people are getting famous off of other people's music which kind of bothers me. Same as American Idol for the most part. You don't see many cover bands that get as massive as anyone on Glee or American Idol.
I guess "Weird" Al Yankovic would be the exception but he does make the songs a parody instead of a cover. He's also very grateful for the artists that give him permission to make fun of their music EVEN IF HE LEGALLY DOESN'T NEED PERMISSION. Ryan Murphy, the creator of Glee, is a egotistical bum though. He seems to think that every artist should be begging to be on his little show.
There are two notable artists who've turned him down in the last little while and the princess blew a gasket. He called Kings of Leon "self-centred" and Slash "stupid" for not wanting to take part in the show.
Dave Grohl has recently spoke out and I really like what he had to say.
Yesterday was the must anticipated rematch between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. Last time these teams played there was something like 192 penalty minutes with multiple line brawls and a goalie fight. Old time hockey! I think everyone was looking forward to round two but no one expected this to happen:
Honestly, I think the hit happened so fast that Zdeno Chara couldn't control what happened. Other fans of the league, however, are enraged. They're pretty much calling for Chara's head but I'm not sure if they would be if Pacioretty didn't suffer a serious injury. He has a severe concussion and fractured vertebra. He may not play again that's very sad.
I don't think we need to punish players just because someone gets hurt though. Are we going to punish players for shooting a puck into someone's ankle now? It was an unfortunate incident and Chara is not going to be punished by the NHL and I think it's the right call.
I need to start off by saying that I pretty much hate everything about American Idol. There have been a few moments on that show that I like including anything to do with William Hung and the "Pants on the Ground" guy. What happened last night may have made me a little bit of a fan.
There was no screaming guitar solo but I need to give props to Mr. Durbin. He did a pretty good job of hitting the notes Rob Halford does. I think I may have to watch a few more episodes of this show to see if Durbin does anymore sweet songs.
