Give credit to those ridiculous contrarians at Slate. Just when I think they can’t be more aggravating or contrived, they churn out reactionary tripe like this: Creed is Good.
(Up next from Slate: 9/11 – Was it really all that bad?)
Give them a hand. While we waited for the phony revolutionaries of the reactionary to again roll their eyes and bag on the latest fad ranging from the genius to the sublime (Slate Explainer: Cuddly Kittens Are Evil!), they decide differently, and pony up 2000 words of schlocky praise for the worst band of all fucking time, who no one cares about or likes or even considered since 1997. Horrific.
In other news, I apologize, it’s been somewhat sparse around here lately. Believe it or not, Mister Faded Glory is busy with other things in the traditional media/publishing world. Not that you care. And don’t think we didn’t notice, Entertainment Weekly, that you rated Batman No. 18 on the list of Coolest All-Time Heroes in Pop Culture. Right behind Nancy Drew? Eighteenth? Excuse me, I feel faint.
Also, we’d be remiss if we did not wish a happy birthday to Pearl Jam. Nineteen today. Wow, I guess we’re all getting old. Luckily we all still rock harder than ever.
I see you laughing.
