Where in the hell did this psuedo rock crap come from? It's making a fuck ton of money from the one demographic with 100% disposable income. Kids. The bands suck, the lyrical content is predictable and canned, the shows are lackluster and these dumb ass kids LOVE IT.
Another bunch of geniuses, the rap/hip hoppers. I worked a show for the 36 Mafia last weekend. The same as Lil' Scrappy and Juvenile, the shows start WAAAAY late and "plays" for 30 minutes and leaves. The songs are incomplete and every one ends with the same gunshot sample in rapid fire.
I suppose I shouldn't complain because the rappers pay more than the rock/metal bands, and they ask no questions about production. Why? They don't know anything about the production end of this business. That's almost better to me than some band guy that knows just enough to be dangerous or annoying.
The music business is funny. If you're an adorably cute boy that sings and plays guitar badly, you're in. If you can pull of the thug/ghetto image just right, you're in. As long as you present the image that they want to sell, you're in. Talent is unnecessary. The company will find you a band, and I'll make sure that it doesn't sound like you suck.

Crackheads
A few weeks ago I was in and out of the shop at odd hours packing gear and unpacking gear. I left for a rave that I was doing sound for around 4:00 pm, and everything was normal. I returned from the rave around 8:00 am and there was a trail of wrappers leading from a small unit in the warehouse to the vending machine where the shattered glass from the front was all that was left.
It turns out that the unit was rented out to some useless crackhead for minimum money. This jackass broke into the vending machine and stole all the candy, leaving a trail right to him. Needless to say, he was arrested and evicted.
Fast forward to the now. I just looked out the door and saw the exact same guy hanging out on the dock at the back of the building. THAT IS BALLS! Either that... ...or the crack has totally fucked his mind out of any common sense. The dock is attached to the vending guy's unit and he wasn't at all happy that his machine was destroyed.
I wonder what it's like to go through life that stupid.

Opening Day!!!
I love the Cubs, and as of right now the Cubs are leading 12-6 in the 7th inning of opening day in Cincinnati.
The best part of this game, the jackass Reds fans. Reds fans are undoubtedly the WORST fans in the game. They love their team as long as they are winning, but the minute they start to lose, they leave the stadium, bitch about everything, curse their team and call talk radio stations to bitch about how lousy the Reds are and how much better they could do as manager.
This game isn't even over. The Great American Ballpark is 1/3rd empty and the Reds fan grumbling is audible over the fan mic from the booth.
I have nothing against the Reds, but their fans are assholes and sore losers! Fuck you all.
On to New Business
Watching the Game, one of the highlights was President Bush throwing out the first pitch. The cameras followed the President as went through the clubhouses and met with Reds and Cubs players. As he met Dusty Baker, he said "This is your year, right?"
This is just great. As if we didn't have enough to deal with, i.e. the Billy Goat, the Bartman Ball, and the general bad luck late in the season, now comes the Bush curse. Damn, Damn, Damn!!!!!
Go Cubs!!!!!!!!!!
