Rockin’ and Rasslin’ With the King In Memphis, Tennessee

By Steve Crawford | July 8, 2013

It has been said that Elvis remained a fan of Memphis wrestling throughout his life and given his fascination with comic book superheroes, there is no reason to doubt that assertion, even the large, bejeweled belts he wore, while performing in capes, resembled championship wrestling straps.

Whether the subject is western swing music, barbeque, or water conservation, Patoski has the Lone Star State covered like a blanket.

Elton John Should Have Sung On That Muse Olympic Theme Song

By Alyson Camus | August 5, 2012

Elton John was the director of music for the Olympics! But Bellamy also continued by saying Elton John had a fall out with the organizers so the project never went anywhere. However, the Olympic committee still wanted the song and shamefully made it the official theme

How Much Did Paul McCartney Get Paid To Sing At The Olympic Opening Ceremony?

By Alyson Camus | August 2, 2012

They all agreed to play for free but had to be paid the symbolic sum of £1($1.57) for contract reason. And McCartney doesn’t seem to regret anything since he declared: ‘It was terrific, great, really cool. It was a trip and very exciting. It was a great opening ceremony.’

Olympics Opening Ceremony, London, 2012: That Loud Sucking Sound…

By Iman Lababedi | July 28, 2012

This is a $14B travel brochure. Danny Boyle (where is David Lean when you need him?) had an audience of the entire world scratching its heads and mutterring “what the fuck was that all about?” If they made it through to the end. Which I didn’t come close to.

Muse's 'Survival', Chosen As The Official Theme Song For The Olympic Games

By Alyson Camus | June 29, 2012

Bellamy declared that the track was ‘about total conviction and pure determination to win’, yes I got this from the lyrics, thanks, no explanation necessary, but why do I have visions of Christians eaten by lions in Roman arenas?

Noel Gallagher Cried Like A Baby

I swore a lot and then I cried like a baby because I’ve never seen anything like that before. It was mindblowing.”

Best Superbowl Commercials -Rock N Roll Style!

By Iman Lababedi | February 9, 2012

an attempt to market an upscale light beer, was my favorite musical moment of the night. It was simplicity itself. Just the bottle being manfactured to the sound of Kanye West’s iconic (already iconic!) notes that open “Runaway” building to repeated cries of “Lookatcha”.

M.I.A. Flips The World The Bird

By Alyson Camus | February 8, 2012

Pitchfork thinks she is an asshole! I will reprint their own words: ‘being an asshole is forever’. Really? America can now be upset for a middle finger? If this is all you have to do to outrage people these days, it ain’t much!

Madonna's Half Time Super Bowl Show Reviewed

By Iman Lababedi | February 6, 2012

So with the world watching, Madonna enters the field to Vogue, as though she is three types of Cleopatra’s and proceeds to, well, vogue. The sound is loud and tinny, and, never a particularly melodic song, it is all dance moves and bass bottom. Who is playing? Sounds like DJs and backing tapes to me.

Madonna, Delusional At Last

By Helen Bach | February 3, 2012

Madonna is gross. Shes like a sinewy mess of smug. Proving that it’s only getting worse…

Steve Tyler Growing Old Gracelessly

By Iman Lababedi | January 25, 2012

Watching the Joan rRvers and Steve Tylers of the world is just sad. They look terrible. They look plastic. Tyler actually sounded great but he looked awful. Why not grow old gracefully? What would it cost him? He certainly couldn’t look any worse.

Darryl DMC McDaniels At Knicks On Opening Christmas Day, 2011

By Iman Lababedi | December 27, 2011

Trey Lorenz -he sang the MJ cover “I’ll Be There” with Mariah Carey, was perfect with the national anthem and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels rapped a Santa Claus number and then performed “Walk This Way” with the Knicks City Dancers behind him and yes, really, two turn tables and actual real scratching.
