OMG, “When We Were Beautiful” is the worst power ballad I’ve heard since… the last power ballad I’ve heard. I’ve forgiven Bon Jovi a lot because of the occasional decent song and because they were awesome years ago playing a forty minute Zootopia set of just hits and blowing Outkasts off stage but I’ve had it. Otherwise, remember when a new Tori Amos album was a cause to rejoice? It’s been a LONG TIME. new Anthrax (Todd tells me live and outtakes), live Killers, a Jerry Garcia and Britney’s greatest hits. It’ll be EXACTLY like hearing her live.
