Stop Eating All That Chocolate, Eat Salad Instead
There was a shooting in my neighborhood a couple of hours ago. The chopper woke me up.
I think I've told a couple of people how it may be a bit tasteless to keep using the song "Rock and Roll Pt. 2" at games, considering that any playing of a recording of that song in front of a crowd means that ASCAP pays Gary Glitter a couple of cents.
For those of you who think that you haven't heard the song, you have. It's the one that goes "Do do doo do hey!" You may also remember techno pioneers KLF doing a song based on it and the Dr. Who theme back in 1988, recording then as the Timelords (KLF also recorded as the Justified Ancients of Mu and The Jams, member Jimi Cauty later formed the Orb)
Well, sending an aging rocker a few bucks here and there might not not seem to be a bad idea, 'cept he's in currently awaiting trial for child rape charges in Viet Nam, where such crimes carry a death sentence.
So, one person, Gerald Cosloy of Matador Records, has a suggestion: replace "Rock and Roll, Pt. 2" with "Glam Racket" by the Fall. So, which is more disturbing: a crowd of Basketball fans singing along to a song by the Fall or one by a child molester?
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

so much for my ever making a reference to your being justified and ancient then challenging you to tell me who did the song that I got the reference from.
