GOOD GOD, WE'RE LUCKY MEN JUST TO EVEN SEE HER

Good morning, InterSluts.

It’s Monday. You need a reason to live. I give it to you.



Probably not for everyone, I know. But Jack White knows the score.

CELEBRITY SKIN ISSUE #1

Glommed from Internet celebrity puffdoggydaddy :

[Error: unknown template qotd]Well, I’m no bedsitter23 , and I’ve certainly never met a member of the Von Erich family, but I have met a couple of reasonably famous people:

1. Nile Rodgers, who I interviewed for journalistic purposes a couple of years ago while he ate fish. I have pictures of that. He was pretty cool to me, considering he was jet-lagged, hungry and was used to talking to music/entertainment journalists, not tech-heads like me – and he told so many awesome stories about David Bowie, Diana Ross, Miles Davis and how producing one Madonna song made him a millionaire for life because of the way record contracts were written in the 80s, that I didn’t mind that technically he never really answered my questions.

2. Mike Watt, formerly of Minutemen and fIREHOSE, who I met prior to a fIREHOSE show in Nashville. Granted, Mike is pretty accessible and will talk to anyone who’ll listen to him, but we had a good 30-minute conversation about the genius of Blue Oyster Cult and pro wrestling, so it was meaningful. To me, anyway.

That’s more or less it, unless you count Rev Horton Heat (who I met before a Knoxville gig for about 20 seconds) and Dolly Parton, who allegedly had lunch at my house circa the late 60s when she was just starting out and my dad was A&R for her label, Monument Records. But I was something like three years old, so I don’t remember it, and I only have my mom’s word for it. Still, she’s not prone to making up such things. And she assures me that Dolly was the most polite woman she’s ever met.

BONUS TRACK: Have some fIREHOSE (here amusingly misidentified by MTV as Firehouse, who were a silly hair metal band from around the same time and sounded like Bad English, only worse).

fIREHOSE were one of the more underrated bands of the late-80s/early-90s when “alternative” became “Alternative®”. And no disrespect to D. Boon, but as much as I liked Minutemen, I ended up being a bigger fIREHOSE fan (as you can possibly tell when I write my moniker out as dEFROG).

The problems, describe them,

IF YOU ALLOW THIS, YR ROBOTS WILL BE NEXT

ITEM: At an anti-gay marriage rally in North Carolina – where gay marriage is already illegal, but Republicans are pushing for a referendum to make gay marriage unconstitutional, just to be safe – Christian fundamentalist lawyer David Gibbs III says if you allow this, you might as well make it legal to marry yr cat and yr robot (which would be polygamy).

I’m not kidding.

Christian fundamentalists comparing loving LGBT relationships to polygamy and bestiality is nothing new, of course. The robot angle is a new one to me, though. Someone’s been reading David Levy. Or Gizmodo, perhaps.

It’s all paranoid gibberish, as usual. But then these are people who sincerely believe (and I quote): "We need to tell our government the basic structure of society needs a biblical framework.” So it’s not like their arguments have to make sense to anyone but themselves.

Too bad that’s not working in favor of the rest of us.

DISCLAIMER: Just so no one gets the wrong idea, I have no problem comparing gay marriage to polygamy. I think that should be legalized too.

Share the love,
