<h1><b>Writing on a rented computer.</h1></b>

As I sit here in the public library writing on a rented computer I am reminded as to why I bought a G5 and hooked up to the internet. One reason is that it was so much easier because I had all day or week to come up with something now it is 106 minutes and counting. The public in public library can also be annoying there are some young children right now who don't understand or respect the sancticty of a library and are making it difficult for me to keep my big mouth shut.

Anyway, to the music scene I don't have alot of written material prepared but I will distill what I have been hearing hear and there.

On a 105.7 the Point an "alternative station" in St. Louis Mo, that used to be cool until they were bought by the clear channel conglomerate about ten years ago. The Point reported that Brittney Spears was seen with Peter Criss who if you all remember had a deplorable show a year or so ago where he made things disappear. Too bad he cannot do the same for the former Ms. Federline. Criss has been seen with Heather Locklear and other better looking women in Hollywood. Maybe he will catch a really bad form of VD and be blinded by it or meanwhile Kevin Federline is looking like parent of the year compared to his former misses.

I was in a major retail establishment that sells books and music recently and tried in vain to listen to the new Smashing Pumpkins Cd, Zeitgeist the cd stations were all broken except one and when I did listen to it I was of course disappointed.
Sounds like Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin with some studio musicians playing the rest of the songs and trying to go back to 1994. A bit of advice to Billy Corgan, either reform the band or just forget it completely. I'm certain that he has enough cash to keep him in razors to contiually shave his receding hairline.

The Violent Femmes who had the one trick song "Blister in the Sun" and rode that tune for a good fifteen years have decided to sue each other. It was announced today that the bass player is suing the lead singer over royalties owed to him from their first disc. Their one hit was used recently in a Wendy's commercial and alot of fans were repulsed by the use of it. I myself used to enjoy the Violent Femmes but eventually realized they only knew three chords and there are musicians who are more talented then the dimbulbs who make up the Violent Femmes.

Finally, the Warped Tour took place in St. Louis this week, it was August and if you know anything about this part of the country it gets really HOT and HUMID.People went to this travelling music/ fashion show and sweated it out over an entire day. Some of the bands complained about the heat and humidity one band I think was from Denver complained that it was 185 degrees outside when it fact it was a cool 104. If they can't stand the heat from other areas of the country then why do they tour?
I'm sure that if they suffer from the heat and have to seek medical treatment the amount of money paid too them will certainly be worth the work. Try working in the hot sun without health insurance and for low wages sometime if they don't like performing.

Enough said

Until next time????
