i got some news today..
RE: the Kony video is getting flak from Ugandans--
i'm not sure who i agree with on this one. i haven't seen the video, but i don't really think that matters. if Ugandans themselves don't like the idea of the video, a logical reaction to that would be to side with them because they are the ones in the middle of it. but i also know that being so close to something can skew your perception of it, especially if your already inclined to dislike Americans and their meddling ways (see: the rest of the world). spreading the word about this asshole is all well and good, but i have to agree that selling t-shirts and bracelets with Kony's likeness on it is pretty messed up. it is exactly like Africans selling t-shirts with Bin Laden's face on it (their words, not mine). so in conclusion, the intention of the video is fine, but stop selling the merch guys.
RE: HBO's "Luck" is going off the air--
wow, who is surprised by that one? Nick Nolte can barely speak, horse racing is a joke, and the seedy underbelly of that part of society is hardly as scandalous as the show would make it out to be.
RE: Motley Crue is touring with KISS this summer--
if you're into that sort of thing, i feel sorry for you and the people around you.
RE: David Lee Roth stopped a concert to yell at some dudes for fighting--
see the comment directly above.
RE: REM's guitarist may sing on his new solo album and only release it on vinyl--
i.. hope the album is decent, but i will never hear it because i'm not buying an expensive record by someone whose former band's music i only moderately like.

yup. that's it.
