The Question Bag - May
Here are the top ten questions I've received in the last month. Okay... At least the ten questions that were printable...
I'm so glad that the Backstreet Boys aren't breaking up. How about you?
I'm glad the B.S. boys are staying together, too. Otherwise I'd have to slam 'N Stink twice as hard.
So who's the better Canadian singer? Shania or Celine?
Neither one. I'd rather listen to Amanda Marshall, Jann Arden, Luba, Melanie Doane or even Sarah McLachlan before either one of them.
Hey! What's up with Marilyn Manson? Haven't heard a lot about him lately.
And this is a bad thing...?
I just caught part of the CMA awards show. people actually listen to this horse s***?
Yeah, they do. And other people listen to crap like rap, trash like thrash, slop like pop and shlock like grunge rock.
Nice little piece on Perry Como. Thanks for remembering a true entertainer.
Thank you and you're welcome. It's a shame when the entertainment industry loses one of its truly great performers.
I think Britney's totally hot. A beautiful, young woman with a hot body and a sexy voice that drives me wild. Do you think I have a chance?
Forget about having a chance. Take off those rose-colored glasses and get your hearing checked. Sexy voice? When I think of sexy voices, Nancy Wilson, Tina Turner and Molly Johnson come to mind. Not Miss B.S.
What do you think the next big thing in music is going to be?
I don't know. Let's wait and see what David Bowie does next. Half the world will just imitate him anyway.
What do you think about 'Lady Marmalade'? Hot song, huh?
The original was anyway. Patti LaBelle made it sound so inviting without being sleazy.
You always get down on the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync and Britney and Christina. What about Hanson? They're just three boys trying to be a group.
Difference is - in ten years when Miss B.S. and the B.S. boys and the rest are playing Vegas to make a living Hanson will be rocking out to full capacity auditoriums and stadiums.
I got to get this off my chest. Everyone should know that you're a stupid a******. You don't know jack s*** about music. Who the hell died and made you the f****** authority on music? One more thing. Metallica rules!!!!!!
Wow. I'm impressed. Did your mom help you with the big words or did she write the whole letter for you? One last comment - Metallica sucks...Napster rules.
But then again...
That's all until next month's question bag...
