I Object to Your Headline (0.00 / 0)

It's grossly irresponsible, and doesn't reflect the article!

As the quote says "I'd rank the event (with Bush) a close second...to Cheap Trick".

So your headline should say "Right Wingers say: Bush 'Not as good as Cheap Trick".

Fixed.

Matt,

You're headline is wrong!  Bush is a close second to Cheap Trick.

"Close second" is not "better" unless you're the Supreme Court.

hey now! (0.00 / 0)

don't go bagging on Cheap Trick now!
They've actually managed to balance being a 70s revival act along with being an active band that writes decent material and tours constantly.

They are a picture perfect standard of a working class style rock band doing the kind of things bands have to do to succeed.

(although, yes... after Budokon they had some pretty huge hits)

Rick Neilson actually appears in the Big One with Michael Moore.

BUT, yeah... that is funny.

When it was all over, the bloggers seemed wowed. "All in all, it was an amazing day for contentiousleftwing.com and one I'll never forget," DeDeo wrote. "In fact, I'd rank the event a close second to the time I sat in with Ani Difranco and the Indigo Girls. It was that good."

Don't dis the Zander (0.00 / 0)

I saw Cheap Trick at the LA Colosseum in '80 or '81. They were fucking phenomenal, easily one of the best live rock-and-roll performances I've ever seen.

Never thought I'd agree with a Republican about -- oh, I don't know -- anything.

Besides, Cheap Trick is teh greatest thing to evah come out of Rockford, Illinois.
