Music Takes Another Run Down Scapegoat Road by Emily Dun

As night fell at the Sydney Big Day Out, a black parade of mostly thin, androgynous looking teenagers streamed into the main stage arena. From afar, in their shrunken jeans, inky hair hanging low over their black-smudged eyes, they appeared a fearsome lot. When questioned, most were softly spoken.

Then, out of the darkness, My Chemical Romance began to play and the teenagers erupted in rapturous excitement, not one wrist-slasher among them, not one theatrical swoon.

Sometimes it is too easy to blame the music. With news this week of the deaths of Melbourne teenagers Jodie Gater and Stephanie Gestier, the menace and melodrama of "emo" subculture became the latest target.

Emo, text-speak for "emotional", has been around since the 1980s but only recently surfaced in the mainstream media via the commercial success of bands such as Dashboard Confessional, New Jersey's My Chemical Romance and the suburban proliferation of the music's mostly juvenile followers, characterised by black clothing, asymmetric haircuts and a melancholy air.

The music blends goth and punk influences but it is songs such as Dashboard Confessional's If You Can't Leave it Be, Might as Well Make it Bleed that have raised the ire of commentators quick to link the music to acts of self-mutilation and suicide.

Hunched and depressed, emos are not the first rock'n'rollers to cop the blame for youth malaise and bad posture.

From Black Sabbath to goth-rocker Marilyn Manson and the disaffected pin-up boy Kurt Cobain, the dramatic lyrics and costumes of the dark music genres have always been a more tangible enemy than the behavioural and mental health problems that contribute to a young person's decision to stop living.

Music has been blamed for inciting suicide, murders and massacres.

The teenagers responsible for the Columbine High School massacre listened to Marilyn Manson; in 1995 the Australian band Silverchair, then teenagers, were accused of inciting a 16-year-old Washington boy to kill his family.

In 1990 court claims were made that subliminal messages on an album by the British metal band Judas Priest led two youths, in 1985, to shoot themselves. One died at the time, the other died three years later. The case, which failed, was brought by their parents.

After the Virginia Tech tragedy in the US last week, an article in the Miami Herald criticised My Chemical Romance - who openly shun the emo tag - as "wallowing in gore and death" and "offering a timely window into the damaged psyche of today's troubled youth". Forty years earlier the Beatles were cited as influencing Charles Manson's killing spree.

Only the first one about Gerard is actually a Vin Deisel joke

Most people don't know this, but the bible actually ends with Gerard Way showing up at the crucifixion with a pair of Mystic elf throwing knives and kicking some Roman ass. Gerard Way was all like, "Jesus, I totally saved you." Then, off on the horizon, a bunch of Romans show up riding dinosaurs led by Mecha Pontius Pilate. Jesus busts out this sweet ninja sword and says, "Now it's my turn to save you." Then Jesus and Gerard Way run towards the Romans in slow motion. That's how the bible ends. It's a cliff-hanger. I can't wait for the sequel, "The Bible 2: Water...Into Blood".

You are what you eat. That is why Gerard Way's diet consists entirely of  black magic, eyeliner, David Bowie’s old costumes, and the testicles of pissed off indie-kids

Sergio Pizzorno once tried to give Gerard Way the finger. That’s why he can’t play guitar. Tom Meighan once tried to talk shit about MCR. And that’s why he can’t sing.

The reason Kasabian suck is not because of how bad their music is, but because of what they will be doing to Gerard Way’s cock once they finish up kissing the Gallagher Brothers’ asses.

After his brother killed allthe dragons, Mikey Way brought them back to life. Upon their revival, Mikey Way looked at him without his glasses on for the first time. Then the dragons shat themselves and then shot themselves.

If you laid all of Mikey Way’s hula-hoops out from end to end, he would turn you into a cat.

Mikey Way once asked George Lucas for Darth Vadar;s original helmet, but Lucas would not give it to him. So Mikey Way invented a time machine, went back a long long time ago, to that galxy far far away, and beat the shit out of Darth Vadar and took his helmet.

Frank Iero’s Full name is Frank Anthony Iero. That name is an anagram for his creto: “Not in a Horny Freak.”  Hey….. Ever seen him in one?

Frank Iero was the tallest kid in Bilbo Baggins High School class of 1998

Travis Barker once tried to say his tattoos were better than Frank Iero’s. That’s why he ended up playing drums on the new Avril Lavigne record.

Ray Toro’s full name is Ray Manuel Toro-Oriz, which is an anagram for “Try a mineral zoo tour.” No one knows why. The reason is buried along with all the other lost secrets of the afro.

Bob Bryar once accidentally used the wrong detergent when washing his band uniform, so it faded. So he sucked all of the black out of Michael Jackson to return them to their proper shade.

When Bob Bryar was circumsized his foreskin was not disposed of. Instead it was raised as a normal child, and it grew to love the game of football. Today we know Bob Bryar’s foreskin as Payton Manning.

When Bob Bryar admitted he liked the new Christina Aguilera record, it inspired Britney Spears to give K-Fed those walking papers.

Someday, I would like to be a writer. More specifically, I'd like to be a jounralist. One of the things I'd like to write about would be music.

I was very happy when I heard Alicia Simmons and Mikey Way got married. There was more than one reason for this.

1) Come on! Look! Aw! Skinny-bassist-roadie-love! Cute! And look! They even dress up their cats! That's just as cute as when old people find love in the nursing home! In fact, that's borderline prohibition! Aw!

2) Gives me an excuse to throw rice at stuff

3) Puts a serious damper on all of the psychotic fanfreaks who were spending time they could have used learning to spell on going "BREAK UP! BREAK UP MIKEY AND ALICIA! MIKEY IZ LYK SOOOO HOTTT!!!1!!11!!!!" Hahaha! NOT SO FAST! Now there will have to be PAPERWORK before that happens! HAHAHAHAHA!

So yeah, very happy.

And then Gerard's little note? Aw! So sweet!

Hey Guys,

We like to keep all of you in the loop because although you are fans we see you as our friends...

I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive.

In light of this joyous event, the band has decided to give he and his wife a much needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all of the things a newlywed couple should do.

I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continue to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life.

We thank all of your for your love and support, and know you are all as happy for him as we are.

See you on the road,

Gerard

Aw!

And good, Mikey should get a honeymoon. Newlywed couples should do that. You know, take a little time off to lock themselves in a hotel room for sixteen hours a day and spend the other eight trying to get those guards outside Buckingham palace to move/talk? Yeah. Good stuff.

And of course, because of this, there are going to be headlines. And at first that was fine.

MCR's Mikey Way marries, takes band break

Thanks, yeah. Awwwww....

Okay, I'm going to say, Shotime's new Series about the early reign of Henry VIII? Great show. Fantastic. True, a bit to clean, but very good. Johnathon Rhys Meyers is a fantastic actor (which is kind of why he has a Golden Globe) who really portrays Henry VIII fantastically. The attitudes and setting are very real and fantastic, the script is very good, and Sam Neill is in it. All good things. In addition, I have a great fondness for the way they portray one of my heroes, Saint Thomas More, as well as the way they set up the chemistry between Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. They are able to set these characters up to not make it cespecially biased, which is something many writers of historical fiction have a tendency to do (Phillipa Gregory, I'm looking at you. The Other Boleyn Girl is addictive, but The Virgin's Lover? Ugh!). Expecially when it comes to the fucked up dynasty that started with Henry VII.

But oh, some of the inaccuracies!

I'm sorry, but this really had my phantom testicles in a vice.

Okay, I realize they are going to twist a few things and push certain events to milk Henry's reign for all it is worth, but really. In the show, Henry's sister Margaret is shipped off to marry the crypt keeper the king of Portugal around the time Henry notices Anne Boleyn. Oy vey.

First of all, yes, Henry had a sister called Margaret. But Margaret Tudor was shipped off and married to James IV of Scotland six years before Henry even became king. In fact, this happens to be very important. You see, Margaret also happened to be the grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots, a relation which gave Mary of Scots her own claim to the English throne, causing turnoil during the reign of Elizabeth I.

However, Henry had another sister. Her name was Mary Tudor. She was married in 1514 to the crypt keeper  King of France Louis XII. He died about eighty-two days later. Immediately she married the Duke of Suffolk, Charles Brandon.

This is also of special significance, not just to history but to the show.

Why? Well, hasn't anyone wondered what Mary and Anne Boleyn were doing in France in the first place? Bingo.

They were Mary Tudor's ladies-in-waiting. And since their father Sir Thomas Boleyn was appointed Ambassador to the french court when Louis XII died and Francis I became king, they stayed there for a while. Mary Tudor had been Duchess of Suffolk for about twelve years until Henry VIII started courting Anne Boleyn in 1526.

But then again, the romance between Brandon and Mary Tudor is a juicy story, and they can't spend all their time on Henry, it would get boring. And I can see since they had already shown the Great Rondevous on the show they could not exactly marry Mary Tudor to the King of France. But why exactly did they have to switch the sisters? For crying out loud, Margaret was OLDER than Henry. Oh well.

Yeah, I think that is pretty sad.

When I was about three, my mother gave me a book called, "Tell Me The Bible." By that time I was already reading, so I read the book. By the time I was nine, I had read the Children's bible, and then by the time I was twelve, I had read the actual thing.

I've read the bible about three times by now, and have not by any means memorized it because simply, it a million pages long and I don't have that kind of time. But I know enough.

In fact, when my mom taught sunday school, and we played "Jesus Jeopardy" (yeah, you read that right), I was a lifeline.

So anyways, today we had a special mass in school for sophomores dealing with the Virginia Tech shootings. And the priest needed an alter server. I go up and offer. This is the reply I get.

"Oh, I am sorry, you know our bishop only just let girls be allowed to be alter-servers, and only if the chplain or pastor of the church writes a letter. I have not written the letter yet."

Yeah, that's right. The Arlington Diocese were the last diocese in the country to allow female alter-servers. And even then you have to write a special letter. So Father Mike ends up with no alter servers because the boys don't want to.

I'm not even a genuine christian. Christ may be my route to salvation, but I believe God presents itself in different forms to different people. So believing some people may be differently attuned to God disqualifies me as a true Christian. That, and I think St Paul was full of shit. Seriously, if he were right about everything, then St Claire would not have been able to go to Heaven after St Francis of Assissi shaved her head. Look it up in either Philipians or Romans, you'll find what I'm talking about.

But I digress. Anyways, I volunteered anyways. Out of the goodness of my heart. I'm like Jesus in that way.

So I basically believe Esther and the Gospels. That's it. Exodus and Genesis can not be completely accurate, I'm sorry. Judges is gross, and in Job, God listens to Satan. That does not even make sense.

But anyways, Father Mike starts out mass with a reading from the Acts of the Apostles. Everyone stares at him blankly, not getting it. So he resorts to that old rule of priests: When in doubt, talk about the time Jesus made all that fish and bread.

Then a bunch of people start disrupting mass, and the Terry stands up and makes a joke. Father Mike tries to get everyone to shut up, finally yelling.

So then after he does that, he asks, "Does anybody remember what our first reading was?"

Crickets.

I sigh.

I raise my hand.

He calls on me.

"It's the one where the Sanhedrin, or Jewish Council has the Apostles locked up. Then one of the Pharisees goes, 'Remember the last two prophet-groups we had? After the leader left, they kept preaching for a while and then eventually broke up. So how bad could they be? And if they don't break up, that probably means they really are from God and therefore if we were to fight them, we'd be fighting God. So let's just let them go. If they're real there is nothing we can do, if they are false, they'll break up in a year.'"

Of course, the actual passage is a lot more complicated. I just put it in simpler terms.

People start talking as I talk, and Father Mike gets mad again. He goes, "Hey, do you know how hard it is to talk in front of your entire class? It is fine to make a joke, but to actually be serious and truly show you understand the readings? This girl is a true Christian who knows her faith! She's right!"

I did not have the heart to tell him.

But it's sad. Because I've gotten lectured by other students about how I should believe more in Mass and follow Catholicism like my mother wanted me too. "I think you'd really like revelations, Wendy." "Wendy, you should look more closely at Genesis." "Wendy, you should not question or disagree with our religion teachers." "Wendy, do you even know anything about the church?" "Wendy, do you worship Satan?"

At the same time the other day a girl in my Christian Scriptures class asked me if I had memorized the Bible. So it's all a bit ridiculous.

Like when I told them all of Jesus' bills were paid by a bunch of women.

It's true. John 8: 1-3.

But it is sad. Why are people so willing to throw their entire lives into believing something they don't even know?

I keep an eye on my God, shouldn't everyone else?

Oh, and Jesus was totally a feminist. Seriously.

Okay, so there is this family down the street. Lovely young mother, a dad, and two of the cutest little girls you'll ever see, 5 and 7. They moved here about ten months ago. The girls are very sweet, cute, and well-behaved; the mother is incredibly nice. So anyways, suddenly the father just instantly decides he wants nothing to do with his family anymore. Even though he decided to have two little girls with his wife, he decides now he does not want them. So he gets to keep the house, and he's uprooting his wife and the girls, and they have to move to Ashburn. Just abandoning his family. He also says to his FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, "Your Mommy doesn't like me anymore, so you're going to have to leave the house."

Oh, and in nine years of marriage, not ONE family vacation, not even a day at the beach. He never spends time with the girls.

Oh, and before they are even out of the house, he is messing around with some twenty-six-year-old woman.

I can't believe this. I mean, what is this going to teach those girls about men? I mean sure, he's not a man and you don't learn about bunnies by looking at rats. Just like you should not judge men by looking at sperm donors. Which is the best way I can describe this guy.

But you know, looking at this, it makes me proud and grateful of the rights we have as women. Luckily, the mom makes a good living and will not have trouble supporting her girls, they already found a house.

But still! Ugh! You bring two little girls into this world just to abandon them? I hope he gets Gonorrhea.

In the early hours yesterday, there was a disruption at a venue after a rock concert in Manchester, UK. Alternative-rock chart-toppers MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE were meeting with fans and signing autographs, when chaos erupted. It started when lead guitarist Ray Toro, 29, was signing an autograph for young fan called Tammy, 13. "There was something wrong with his hair," the young woman recounts, "It was strange. Ray's always had mad hair, but it was moving too much on its own." But it was not until later when the true trouble started. Some fans and the band were stil socializing an hour later when an unlikely and unexpected guest showed up, Pop-rock star Avril Lavigne, 20, showed up, "completely out of the blue," an eyewitness says. "She started pushing fans aside and walked up to the guys, talking about who know what. I think she wanted something." The 'Girlfriend' singer obviously was not getting what she wanted by ways of small-talk, so she made her desires entirely apparent. "She grabbed Frank [Iero, 25, guitarist]'s and Gerard [Way, 30, singer]'s crotches!One in each hand! And then she yelled 'Are you hardcore enough for me and my husband?!" The band's security tried to control her, and she let go. "Then she started saying really nasty things, really gross things. That was when it happened." Eyewitness accounts and pictures say that a good deal of Toro's hair lept from his head and started attacking Lavigne. "It was bloody unreal!" Fan George Craig, 27, says, "It grew nails and teeth and everything!" Security and the band tried to restrain the hair, eventually pulling it off Lavigne's face. But not before Lavigne's face was severely marred. The hair quickly was revealed to be not hair at all, but a black cat. Once this was revealed, it is reported that MCR drummer Bob Bryar, 29, squealed, "Hobbingsworth! That's where you were!" before grabbing the cat and smothering it with affection.

"He must have gotten tangled and caught," bassist Mikey Way, 27, later said, "Ever since he lost his yarn ball, Ray has been his favorite toy. Hobbingsworth has a huge crush on my brother though and no power in the world would stop him from beating the crap out of any chick that molests him or Frank. He's a jealous type."

As to the damage done to Ms Lavigne's face, her party said they would not press charges. "She looks better than she has in years," her publicist says, "She is very happy and thinks if she meets the boys again, they might take her up on her offer."

The cat was contolled and given a new black yarn ball and whiskers lickens. Hobbingsworth and Gerard are now engaged ad planning a big wedding in Massachusetts with all of Way's other 50 million fiances. Bryar will be given Hobbingsworth away.

Adam Lazara had this to say on the subject, "I want pie. Now."

-----~---------~----------~------------~

That explains a lot.

But according to some sources, that's not how it came about at all. Some say it wasn't even a cat, but a panther kitten!

I should write for the National Enquirer. This is proof.

What do YOU think REALLY happened?

Merry Christmas

Yours Soberly,

This is in regard to the MCR forum.

THIS IS TO ALL YOU UPTIGHT PRICKS. You know who you are. you're the ones who crash the mock-gossip-fun thread with your self-righteous sermons about how all the people cracking jokes are "teenies" and "stupid." Who accuse everyone on there without reading the comments of saying we'll die if a band member marries someone and screaming incoherently about how hot they are and wanting to have his babies. Of telling us to "care more about the music" to "stop being nosey" to "leave them alone" to "be a real fan." Who call people stupid and bully people about maybe saying one of the members is good looking or how they have a crush on them. Fuck you people. Seriously. Fuck you.

Honey, most of the people in those mock-gossip/aw he looks kinda cute threads are the ones who have fought against the "OMGZ HEZ SO HOT ILL HAVE HIS BABIES NOW AND HIS GF IZ A SLUT! TELL ME WHO SHE IZ SO I CAN KILL HERZZ!!1!11" crowd. We limited the Eliza Cuts/Kate rumors. We're also the ones who alk about the music constantly. We fought off yourwifeisnice's little brother. We cleared that shit up. Most of you self-righteous preachers just got on here and never helped back then. But you preach now to people who are not even doing anthing wrong nor what you accuse them of. And on top of it, you don't do it in a fun/goodnatured way. You do it like you're better than others, or like we're stupid little freaks.

Bitches, I'M the fandom prophet. So is twilightrain. So is voluptuosity. So are our friends. There are other people who could be too if they aren't pricks. You're false prophets.

I know you think you're sticking up for the band or whatever, but you're not. We're joking. Gerard does this. So does everyone. I've been making fun of rumor threads a lot longer than you have.

It's anti-gossip, actually. On the "Who is Gerard marrying this week" thread it states nine zillion times that we're not being serious. We're not being sick or twisted or making up weird sex fantasies. We're not threatening their girlfriends. We're not even looking shit up about their personal lives. We're just having fun. It keeps the harmful gossip away. I know you thought you were going to open our eyes to what teenyboppers we're supposedly being, but you just made yourself look like a prick. And you almost spoiled the fun.

Get over yourself. I know you're thinking you're being a "pure" and "true" fan by telling us bad bad girls off and advising us to care about the music, but you're not. You're being presumptuous and humorless. How many threads have you made that are truly music related? I've made a few. I can't remember all of the ones I've made over the last 14 months I've been on here, but a few I can remember are:

1. Ray Toro should put out a solo record of compositional pieces
2. SINGALONG TIME
3. Hey, I've got an idea. Let's talk about.... MUSIC! (Oh did I just blow your fucking mind)
4. The above thread part two
5. Bands attacking mcr
6. A misinterpretation of Gerard's words by Rolling Stone.

I had already made a "laugh at our own gossip" thread a million times. In fact, I did stuff to limit it. Way before you. And I did it in a good-natured manner. Unlike you here.

I also wrote the fandom bible a million years ago, a five-page piece on why people should not be rabid teenyboppers. I started a group with twilightrain devoted to getting people to treat the band/other fans/girls they date.. etc with respect.

And I dug Gerard when no one really knew who he was and he was wearing all that makeup and was sick. I remember showing really early career pictures of him to my friends and them saying gross.

In addtion, you obviously know very little about the fanbase here. A lot of us are the type of people who would have hung with Gerard when he was in high school, sodon't presume to know us because you don't know shit. the only exception is viki0rox, who won't date him now and would not have years ago. Because she is married. And I like Gerard not for his looks but for the shit he sings, what he sands for, and what he says. But I'm not uptight enough to scoff at a half-serious compliment of his ass. Check my journal about how I defined him on urban dictionary. Tell me I'm too superficial.

If Gerard saw these fake gossip threads, he'd approve. You are not showing us anything. We are able to laugh at ourselves.

I'm looking at these replies, and the only sad/pathetic/ignorant one I see is from you.

I might also add that most of the people who are replying to the faux-gossip thread are the people who were the ones who most actively participated in my music related threads. Fuck, Voluptuosity starts a bazillion threads devoted to pick a line that means something, how much you listen to the band, etc. She gives gig details constantly. So what was your point about not caring about music?

Saying someone is cute without being disgusting never hurt anyone. Neither did "Gerard is marrying my Llama next week on mars"

But you have to crash everything. So fuck you.

You're not being smart, you're not being pure, you're being annoying. You're kind of being like Brandon Flowers, you know, preaching but being enitrely ignorant of what you are talking about? Or the Spanish inquisition. In fact, that's what I'll call you.

And by the way, if you don't like gossip threads, don't enter them.But I bet half the reason you do is to be in the know and read the gossip too. that's why you enterred in the first place. So don't bullshit me. You're being a poser. And hypocritical.

Get over yourselves, because I'll put my fan-validity up against yours any day. Because it's clear you entirely missed the point of what these guys are saying.

Warning: This has to do with race

When I was in kindergarten, I had a nanny who was African. And while I had been in contact with African-American people before, I was kind of confused about something. You see, I had heard snatches of some things before to do with people with pale skin and dark brown skin being different, but did not understand why anyone would think this. They did not seem too different. Hell, I thought even in terms of skin color we were not too different because I knew a lot of pale people who tanned a lot and got really dark brown skin by the end of the summer. So what was so different? My confusion became especially prevalent in my mind after some time being looked after by Judith, my nanny. She did not seem so different, apart from in age and accent (she was actually an african immigrant). But then one day I sat down with my mom and Judith to ask what was the different between Judith and I in regards to other matters. Judith just chuckled. My mom told me while I could get dark brown from tanning. Judith was did not have to tan. I asked why she was born that way. The two of them explained it was because while my ancestors were from Poland where there was not too much heat and sun, Judith ancestors lived in places near the equator where the sun was really really hot. So, by the grace of God and evolution, they said, her ancestors developed more of the chemical known as melanin in her skin to protect them from being burned a lot by the sun, and melanin made her skin darker.

Even then, I could read, and I did not accept the things everyone told me completely until comfirmation. So I got a book on "evolution" from the school library. From its elemntary explanation (after all, this WAS an elementary school library) and it added up and made sense. So I figured it was just natural selection. The next day I told my african-american friend Jasmine I wished I was "brown-brown and not pink" like her so I would not have to put as much sunblock on when I went to the beach.I still kind of wish that. I hate sunburns.

Jasmine just laughed.

At the time, Jasmine, another friend of ours named Sammi, and I decided we were fashion designers. So during coloring we would draw ladies in outfits we made up. One day, Sammi drew an outfit that she complained it did not loook as pretty as she thought it would. I looked at the drawing and said she had put it on the wrong person. She should have put it on a girl with more "melon-pin like Jasmine" because "that color looks better on girls with more melon-pin."

I knew we looked different . I knew it was because of melanin.

But after I said this, my teacher freaked out a bit.

Three weeks later, we learned about the Jim Crowe laws, slavery, and the civil right movement. Before I knew Martin Luther King achieved equal rights for his people and was a great man,  but I had no idea it had to do with skin color. Whe I found out, I was really sad about that and I thought about it. I thought of two ideas as to why people would do that. Either those racist people hated the sun and everything it did, or they were jealous of black people for not getting as many sunburns.

Well, I did not know that both of those ideas were not the reason. But I would prefer if I did not know that now, because I am confused as to why people would do something like that to each other.

Then for a while in fourth grade I thought the slave owners were Mormon. Long story. No offense meant.

I have learned over the years about culture, economics, etc. Anything to do with african-americans and caucasions still confuse me because to me it's just skin color.

I thought about why I didn't think there was any other difference than geographical history and color. People said it was economics. But I know african-americans who make just as much money as my parents. Some racist said "black people are lazier" but my friend Addrienne was a straight-A student and her dad was not only a successful lawyer but dedicated hours to his yard because he adored gardening. Both worked harder than me. I figured it was bullshit. Skin color did not make a difference. I was the same color as my friend Jill, but we were way different, not only in terms of personality but religion and age as well. But we still started the Common Kids Environmental Club together. Until I was five, I had no idea people who usually celebrated Christmas did not always celebrate Chanukah too like I did.

And yes, everyone is a little racist sometimes. We all make immediate assumptions. We can't help it. our brains are designed that way. I once figured that this one kid was probably nore into hip-hop than rock. When I actually talked to him, it turned out he was way into rock. I realized that his skin color may hae come into the equation. Stupid. Not only because it was racist, but also becase technically Little Richard invented rock and roll and he's black.

Ever since, I've been really scared about being racist.

At the same time, I don't consider jokes like "they only hate you because you're black." I have a sense of humor but know where the line is for the most part. For instance, the day before Christmas break I brought in Lindor Truffles for my friends. I offered one to my friend Shalamar, and she asked what flavor they were (she hates coconut like me). I replied that I was not stupid, that they were white chocolate truffles. She replied, "Oh, like me?"

Shalamar has a fraction of Scottish in her. Otherwise she's of African heritage. She jokes about being bi-racial constantly. I thought this particular joke was particularly hysterical (she's so fucking funny, and I love her) and asked if I could call her that. She said yes. But then later I asked if it bothered her, and she had changed her mind. I have not called her that since. She makes racial comments all the time I don't consider bad, i.e "I'm black and from Brooklyn, you're a white girl from Virginia with Jew blood, why is it you are so much better at basketball as I am?" It's harmless and a joke. Especially funny and harmless becase A) I'm a foot taller than she is, B) I've played competitively and she has not, and C) She said this shortly after a discussion of the South Park episode where Kyle tries to become tall and black to make the basketball because "Jews can't play basketball." Just a joke. Not like what Don Imus said (though I do think he was sincere in his apology, you know? I mean, I think CNN and the radio network had every right and justification to fire him because after all, he did lose them sponsors, and it's just as much their right to not want to associate with him as it his to make that idiotic joke. I think he was trying to be ironic and was having a brain collapse at the moment. Note to Don Imus: YOU'RE NOT SARAH SILVERMAN, STICK TO WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT. Unlike most celebs who say stupid shit and apologize safely behind a camera, he actually MET with the women he offended face to face. That shows balls and sincerity. And Al Sharpton is being a turd. He was not insulted, the Rutgers female b-ball team was. They accepted the apology and forgave. And they had every right to do otherwise, because they were insulted without provocation. Al Sharpton, last time I checked, was not a member of the Rutgers female b-ball team. What business is it of his? At least Imus apologized. I have not seen Sharpton do as much to those two Duke students he accused of a vicious crime of which they were INNOCENT. How is he qualified to be a Reverand? Christianity is partly based on forgiveness. He is a terrible representation of Christians.)

But recently I accidentally did something I think might have been bad.

Rolling Stone has this thing called "this week in rock" posted every friday. It's a series of pictures of rock stars doing shit this week. There was one posted of Lou Reed and Alicia Keys at a basketball game together at Madison Square Garden.

If you remember a couple of journals back, I said Lou Reed looks half his age.

When I saw this picture, not so much. He looked OLD.

I was freaked at how I had gotten this wrong. Maybe there was reason as to why he looked so old in contrast to another recent pic of him? I figured it was a) the glasses he was wearing, b) maybe it was the angle in either pic of him that made him look younger or older, c) it could hve been lighting or d) He looks real old because of the comparison of him and Alicia Keys, who is so young and so gorgeaus.

While considering the third idea, I thought, 'Yeah, and her being black and him being white probably has something to do with it.'

And I realized what I had just thought and felt ashamed.

I thought about it. Now, this could be not-racist. It could have been more like the Jasmine-Sammi Kindergarten Designer Melon-Pin Incident. After all, there is a difference in their skin tone, which would undoubtedly make them look more different in terms of looks, which would of enhanced how old Lou looked. Especially when it comes to skin because that is what sags and Lou Reed's hair is still black as night so it was not him going grey that made him look old.

I'd like to think it only had to do with color contrast if it were any combination of color in a pair of one old person and one young person more than if they were of the same color. But maybe it's partly racism. That old stereotype of the lame-ass old white dude and the hot young black chick. I don't know. I'm not into Alicia Keys' music, even though I do think she is VERY talented and one of the few things the mainstream MTV music audience got right, I'm just not too into her stuff that much. But there is a reason Lou Reed hangs with her and David Bowie plays with her. These are the men who helped launch alternative rock.

I really feel bad about how I can't take to R+B, actually, because that is one of the few genres whose mainstream successes are almost entirely credible. I mean, look at what happened to Hip-Hop/Rap. I worry Dr Dre was right, they may have forgotten/spurned him. All because he went "pop." Please. And why didn't Jay-Z's comeback record sound like it should? 99 Problems is one of the most intelligent commentaries on stateswhich include musical, social, emotional, and political. ALL IN ONE SONG. And, when he used the term "bitch" he was not referring to women in general, but just some chick who's treating her boyfriend like shit. But he responds with "Oh My God" ???????? Even with TWO MCR references I could not like that song! 'Lost Ones' was good though. It shows respect for the career-woman his gf is, whilst admitting his problems at the same time. But come on Mr Carter, please? I don't want to think rapping at 38 is ill. And a lot of rappers today seem to forget that amoungst Biggie's songs about street life and "ho's" and the like, he also talked about how much he loved his daughter and how he hoped she'd grow to be a great lady and go to college. But no, let's just talk about the "bitches" and how your ride is pimped. Kanye helped a bit contrary to some of his possible beliefs, he is not our Savious. As for rock, I love rock and roll, but come on, a lot of the mainstream-success rock acts are not in good shape. With a couple of exception of a few, they ae manufactured no-talents like Nickelback, Daughtry, or Mediocre Green Day Good Charlotte. Or they are labelled as alternative when they are not, like Fall Out Boy, who I truly adore, love, and find fantastic. But they are not alternative-rock. They're pop-rock. Nothing wrong with that. They are good at it unlike Mediocre Green Day Good Charlotte. Thank God. All-American Rejects are not alternative either. Or they are lame posers who are classified as rock but are not like Avril Lavigne. And there is the whole band feud thing AND the whole "emo" confusion. Not good. In R+B, the big stars in the mainstream, the ones that get the most press, are people like Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys, The White Stripes, and Amy Winehouse. You can't tell me they are not talented. Even if it is not your thing. It's not mine and I kind of wish it was.

Anyways, I digress. The point is, I felt bad and I usually don't. I think it is partly because I also thought of David Bowie and Iman. Which is stupid. First of all, David Bowie and Iman are married, Lou Reed and Alicia Keys are not even dating. Neither two look like any of the others. Iman is a model whereas Alicia Keys and Lou Reed are both musicians. Iman is about twenty years older than Alicia Keys. Entirely different nationalities. The only association are Reed's and Bowie's long-time friendship and working relationship, Reed and Bowie's similar ages, and both are pairings of white guy with black chick. And Bowie and Reed are not even classified under the same ethnicity. Lou Reed is from the US and is Jewish. Bowie is a British WASP (sorry, Bowie, just because you married Iman, you are not African like you claim in those ads. You need to do some serious paperwork before that happens. However, you were at one time a space alien, and at another a Goblin King. You have claims to being a minority n those counts. Plus you're bi). But you know, I related this based on skin color. I felt bad. Dirty. Real bad.

Maybe I'm not so much racist as much as colorist? Or maybe I'm being ridiculous. I don't know. Skin color isn't really race, is it? I feel confused.

Matt Bellamy of Muse Speaks Out Against Live Earth Gig

by Tim Cashmere - April 13 2007
photo by Ros O'Gorman

Matt Bellamy of Muse, one of the largest bands in the United Kingdom at the moment, and has presumably ridden on a private jet or two (or at least sat in a few first class seats) has lashed out at the organizers of the upcoming Live Earth shows for all the private jets that will be used to fly big name artists around the globe.

Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Genesis are just some of those confirmed to be flying around to shows.

"Private jets for climate change, not sure about it that seems to be a bit on edge really – that's an issue really, so we need to think about it!" Bellamy told 6 Music.

Muse are yet to be announced for any of the Live Earth gigs. While yes, Muse have performed at some of the world's biggest festivals (including Live 8 in Paris last year), none have claimed to be about reducing climate change (so stop being so cynical!).

----------------------

That's right. How's that for the anti-hypocrite? *hugs Matt*

I seriously hate limosine liberals. You know the type. Waste energy and do environment-endangering thing but still lecture others? They have a 100-room mansion that's air conditioned with the lights on for four people. They have an olympic swimming pool, it's heated and no one is in it. They fly privately in a jumbo jet so they are on time to give a speech about energy conservation. Hypocrites.

And he isn't even claiming to be a saint! He admits they've done the private jet thing! But he's never pretended he is an environmental saint. He's being honest.

Me, I recycle and I actually felt really bad this one time I put a diet coke can in the trash and not the recyclables last weel. Usually after I'm done with plastic/aluminum I immediately march outside to the recycling and put it there. Last week I erred. I don't recycle paper, I leave electronic shit on constantly, so I'd be wrong to say I was good to our environment. But I have planted trees! Yay! Yes I eat cow. I am not proud. But I would not say I'm fighting for our Earth when I use up so much fossil fuel. But he's right.

Go him.

How's that for being anti-Blowhard-and-Douchebag-Gallagher?

Non-hypocracy RULES.

Today, a blog post on Lily Allen's most recent drunken rambling caught my eye. Only it I did not find out it was about the newest rant until I actually started reading it in-depth because, well, a) I didn't really know about the rant and b) it had been posted in th post margins more as a post about rock stars talking about politics whilst speaking/writing completely disreagarding basic grammar and/or the art of being understandable. They included a few examples.

The Post:

---------------------------------

Okay, after reading this, I found a few things out.

1. There is actually something I can do better than Thom Yorke. Typing. I mean, I use a few run-on sentences sometimes. My use of colloquialisms while giving my blogs a little personality, are not always grammatically accurate. Sometimes there are typos. I'm not quite as knowledgable as him as far as politics. BUT (except in the case of the occasional typo) I ALWAYS capitalize my proper nouns/pronouns/sentence beginnings.

2. Kanye West does not know about Condoleezza Rice.

3. There is even more proof that Brandon Flowers definitely missed the point dissing Green Day over the Bullet in the Bible thing.  When Flowers first attacked Green Day on it, he said it would come off as anti-American to the British audience in the DVD. Someone pointed out that right before singing 'Holiday' Billie Joe Armstrong opened the song by saying "This song is not Anti-American, it's ANTI-WAR!" Oops. So then in a a later interview with Rolling Stone, Flowers said, "If they are so punk, why didn't they say this stuff in DC?" I'm not a huge fan of Green Day's most recent stuff (take me back to Christie Road, PLEASE), but I KNOW they had the decency to say all that American Idiot stuff in DC way before they sang it in Britain. Why do I know? I live in th DC area. I know because I was there. Patriot Center, George Mason University, Halloween, 2004. In Fairfax VA, in the DC Metropolitan Area. I live in the same area. Always have. My home is flooded with Government workers, lobbyists, diplomats, elected officials, etc. Seeing the Presidant's car go by is not a rare occurrance (probably why my finger is in the air so much). In fact, I went to that concert with the daughter of a Swedish Diplomat. So they did, Motherfucker.The reason that concert was on the DVD was not only because it was their biggest show ever, but also because it worked schedule-wise. Everyone knew what was going down, and what they were saying, so what Flowers said was bullshit. It would not be in the case of Natalie Raines. No one knew about that band's desire to go that political until she said that. IN BRITAIN. If you're going to say something like that, do it in your country first. Like Green Day did. Like Thom Yorke does. To do it like that is to sell out your fan base. And it's not radical. It's sleazy. I agree George Bush is not only an awful representative of not only Texas but the entire country as well, but I at least said this in my country first. I lifted my finger to his face (well, his motorcade, but still) and to my father who voted for him. And I said this to man who works for the President. I didn't wait until I was amoung foreigners or radical anti-Bush people to say this.  I had too much integrity. If Flowers would have directed his tirade towards them, he might have had a point. It's kind of funny and sad at the same time.

Now, what Rolling Stone said about Rock Stars speaking legibly and articulately interested me. It brought to mind a couple of political statements or opinions stated that have actually been expressed in a clear and structured manner. Not at all gibberish.

One, Matthew Bellamy:

"Are we really supposed to believe that a man in a cave in Afghanistan managed to orchestrate the most unbelievable attack on the United States of all time?

"I think 9/11 was definitely an inside job done by a group of high-powered people looking for an excuse to invade the Middle East for oil and other natural resources.

"I think America needed another Pearl Harbour-type event in order to invade Iraq. It gave the US and UK governments the perfect excuse to go to war."

While these statements may seem a little crazy to some, he did state these things not only in an open and credible manner, but he spoke well and clearly. Now, I do not think he is totally right. Osama Bin Laden before the attacks had not only training from our own government but an enormous estate, education, and resources. He had the means to pose an attack. In addition, I know From A Source I Cannot Reveal (part of living in DC, my family knows some people), that there have been attempted terrorist attacks from (so-called Muslim) Islamic-Extremists for a long time from very similar groups to Al-Qaeda. I do agree there has been some corruption and dirty work, possibly inside certain sectors of our government that contributed to this threat. And I would not put it past Dick Cheney Bush to attack a part of the Middle East for oil, but as to other natural resources? What other natural resources? I mean, in Israel they have shit, but we're allied with them.

But while I disagree, and some might call his views "crazy," "insane," or "ridiculous," his statements appear to me to be far more credible and well thought out than what several people say, including some of our elected officials. He can at least utter a complete declarative sentence. And at least he did research. And he says stuff like I think. Thom Yorke, Kanye West, and Lily Allen were telling us what was so, even though technically what they said were all opinions. Like they knew better. Matthew Bellamy (and, sigh, well, technically Britney Spears too) at least stated these ideas as just that, ideas. Not presumptuous or arrogant. There is more. Bellamy actually is questioning things. That is in my opinion far more productive and intellectual. Furthermore, most of the things  all these other people are saying (aside from George Bush's alleged hatred of the African American race) are the norm, the accepted, the mainstream. Not really all that radical. Lot's of people say those things. But Bellamy had the testicles to say something atypical in regards to politics. Something different. Something, unlike most of these other statements, that is truly controversial. Thus, I believe what he said was quite credible and intelligent.

PS: That thing Kid Rock said interested me. Okay, I sort of see his point. I agree, there quite a few of artists who really don't know what they are talking about and are just blowing hot air to seem intelligent or radical. But still, they should be allowed to say what they want. However, some people, like Ms Allen, should shut the fuck up because they are wasting time and making musicians as a whole look completely unqualified to make political statements. She makes artists look ignorant and drunken. She makes thing easy to dismiss. To be fair, she's not the only one, and she was drunk (though I don't think people should be drunk on the job). However, in regards to what Kid Rock said, if he is right, then that means all rock stars should be allowed to say whatever they want about our current Pope. After all, Pope Benedict did say rock music was the work of Satan, so technically that makes any negative statement towards the Pope from a rock and roll musician completely and utterly justified.

Okay, I'm done.

Seriously. They go a little grey, but Jesus Christ! These people Age Well! Considering how many drugs they did, how much crazy shit they went through? Wow!

Cases in point:

Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac, duh) now, at 58:

Him back when he was about 25:

Now, Lou Reed in the seventies, around age 33:

Him at sixty, now:

It gets better. Her Divinity Patti Smith when she was young:

Her now, post-Hall-of-Fame:

Finally, His Grace the Thin White Duke at one of the many earli(er) stages in his career:

His Grace now at sixty:

MICK JAGGER WHEN HE WAS YOUNG:

MICK JAGGER NOW:

See what I mean? Hell if anything Buckingham looks youngers. Same with Patti Smith. David Bowie has definitely aged, but not much! Still really cute! His hair is dyed blonde, but other than that? Wow!And Lou Reed? No difference. At all. Oy vey.

Stevie Nicks still looks pretty good too. That is just UNFAIR.

Of course, i think in the cases of Nicks and Jagger, there was abit of nip/tuck. Maybe with bowie too. But Buckingham, Smith, and Reed? No!

Review:

Make a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of the past forty years of British rock and you're still not even close to how removed the artless pastiche of Kasabian is from the magic of their Led Zeppelin-Faces-Oasis-Primal Scream forefathers. The second album by these Leicester uberlads is miles worse than their shallow but tasty first, its big-budget production only making its shortcomings more apparent. "Apnoea" sports a turgid hyperspeed drum loop and a one-note bass line, thus providing a spot-on simulation of being trapped in a K hole. "By My Side" goes so far as to steal its tune from Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly." All eyes are now on singer Tom Meighan, who combines a stunningly limited vocal range with a melodic sensibility that makes nursery rhymes seem complex by comparison, all in the service of lyrics like this one from the cod-glam stomp "Shoot the Runner": "I'm a king and she's my queen . . . bitch!" The emperor clearly wears no clothes.

-------------

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Well Boys, I'm disappointed in you, you really haven't lived up to your standards. Usually you at least get two stars......

*Does dance*

Now usually I don't care much for Rolling Stone's reviews. They never give Muse enough stars. They gave Absolution three when it deserved four, and Black Holes and Revelations three and a half stars WHEN THEY GAVE THE BLACK PARADE FOUR AND A HALF AND BLACK HOLES AND REVELATIONS IS AS GOOD AS THE BLACK PARADE!!! THIS IS FROM SOMEONE WHOSE FAVORITE BAND IS MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!!

But I digress.

They were so right here.

I mean. Kasabian sound like such a rip off of The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses. I tend to think of Kasabian as The Hacky Mondays or The Clone Roses.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I dedicate this to Stace and Ohsmash and Asherah and everyone else who shares my contempt of The Hacky Mondays.

BITCHES!!!

Today is the two-year anniversary of his death.

Pope John Paul II and I disagreed on a lot of things. But the fact was he was a wonderful person. He was open to many other peoples, religions, and creeds. He respected and admired other religions. He worked tirelessly for peace and the end of corrupt communist governments (not that all communism is necessarily bad, but I don't like Marx. He messed up Thomas More's dream terribly). He was amazingly charitable. He was also relatable and somewhat in touch. He took part in regular activities like watching soccer and seeing movies. He hung out with the Dalai Lama and many other spiritual/religious leaders. He canonized/beatified many great people such as Damien of Molokai and Mother Teresa. John Paul had a spirit that was something above many other peoples': He was a true Holy Person.

John Paul, born Karol Jozef Wojtyla was born on May 18th 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. His Mother died when he was nine, and his father worked to support his studies.He went to Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. He was an actor, athlete, and playwrite, and could speak as many as eighteen languages. The Nazis invaded his country in 1939, closing the University, and shortly after his father died. In 1942, he entered the priesthood in an underground seminary. He went on to study theology and in 1958 was named Archbishop of Krakow by Pius XII. He became the first polish pope in 1978.

John Paul suffered many health problems, and was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease in 1992. Nevertheless, he reigned as Pope for 26 years. He spoke out against the ideologies and politics of communism, Marxism, Socialism, imperialism, hedonism, relativism, materialism, fascism (including Nazism), racism and unrestrained capitalism. In many ways, he fought against oppression, secularism and poverty. He was also known to engage in more unusual practices, such as a simpler papal coronation. He furthermore was known to dislike over-abundant capitalism and oppression.

I do not nor did I ever agree with his views on gender politics, homosexuality, divorce, and abortion, but I know who he was. I admire him and wish he were still alive and reigning as Pope.

A man of unmatchable strength, faith, love, and goodness, Pope John Paul II was one of the greatest men of the last one hundred years.

Rest in peace, Your Holiness, and Bless this troubled world.

I am tagging this under bands because a good deal of my friends are ones I met on these bands' sections. So please don't complain.

People, this is worse than chain mail. TEN TIMES WORSE!

Whoever started this, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

To try and stop the spread of this fake friends thing, please follow the following instructions carefully:

I am not posting any more fake friends shit.

I talk to you guys, I respond to all your messages that are not story updates, chainmail, or games. I respond to notes.

I comment on stuff. Most people I am friends with added me. Not all of you, but a few.

Sending this to all your friends will mean this will not stop because people will be worried about losing friends.

I appreciate all comments and notes and decent messages. I am now calling for a halt.

Some of us have a lot of friends and are getting a lot of these. I'll chat/hang with anyone. I would not accept your friend requests/ask to be your friends if I was not a "real friend."

This is what we will do to get the word out.

I will list all the people I sent this to.

Check your friends list and send this to all of your friends who are not on mine and add your extra names. Have the recipients of your messages wipe away all the names on our combined lists, and send it to their remaining friends. and so on and so forth.

To all the friends who got this from Notsid: Please reply and tell me when you've done this and who you sent this to. And what I mean is not another copy of this note. Just message me back with everything blank.

All other people, send a reply back to whoever sent this to you.

If more than one person send this to you, just send a note to all your friends titled 'WENDY TOLD ME THANKS'

If you get a message of 'WENDY TOLD ME THANKS' Then don't send that person a message. Knock them off your list.

If you get any 'WENDY TOLD ME THANKS!' messages, just don't open them, just delete them. After you've sent your messages, you're done. All you have to do is send out a ''WENDY TOLD ME THANKS' message and you're done. Delete the messages titled that. Delete any repeats of this message. Don't read any more messages unless they are other stuff.

There. Then no one has to be scared about losing friends without meaning to.

To the person who started this, next time, don't tell people to forward this, just have them reply. Millean did that and it worked. Telling people to forward this creates a hassle and a good deal of commotion. If people want to use a message like that too, fine, just don't have it forwarded.

To all you guys who want to weed out bad friends or whatever, I like you guys on my friends list. I don't care about how many people comment. I am fine with the amount of comments I get most of the time. I give shoutouts to people who I talk to the most. But I like all of you.

This will take a while, but it'll stop.

If you have any questions, please message johnnynotsid.

XOXOXOXOXO

PS: Doing that stuff is not fair anyways, some people's computers get messed up, some just are not on at the right time. So putting up a time frame is not fair to those friends who are actually close. Hell, some of us are in different time zones!

PPS: To all you guys who sent me the 'fake friends' message, I've read it. I got it. Don't send me anymore, don't worry. If you are really worried, send me a note, not a message, a regular note.
