DYLAN TO DO SUPER BOWL PEPSI AD


“Don’t think twice, I’m only singing for Pepsi”. Dylan is teaming up with Will.I.Am to do a $3 million, one-minute Pepsi add at the Super Bowl. The duo has apparently done a mash-up of Dylan’s 1973 “Forever young” and the song is likely to appear on iTunes.
Now before you all stammer around asking why the hell Dylan is doing a Pepsi add? Don’t forget this isn’t 1965 Dylan; this is post -1965 Dylan. Not to say that Dylan has compromised his intentions after blonde on blonde (is there any conversation that could be beat more to death?), in fact, quite the reverse. Regardless of why Dylan will do the commercial, he sure isn’t going to stoop to some rock purist and muster up some excuse. Instead, Dylan will always defy expectation. If he didn’t, we wouldn’t be giving half enough of a shit to bother even discussing it. The point is Dylan doesn’t give a shit, and like it or not, we don’t want him any other way.

COP PEES ON METALLICA FAN!!


A Metallica fan got more than his share of greased up head bangers during a Metallica concert that took place on Jan. 18. Joseph Houston, an off duty cop who was in attendance at the show in Boston opted to forego the standard raised devil horn salute. Instead, he stuck his penis in the air and well, peed all over a nearby fan. Just to clear up any doubt about where this guy bathed in the gene pool, he then referred to an escorting officer who happened to be black as “Obama”.
Now I’ve been down that road, you’re 15, you’re at that pinnacle of your buzz, you feel invincible, you’re high all-mighty adolescent guitar God has just gone from E to F for the hundredth time that night. You feel primal; you need release. You add up the pro’s and con’s and since you’re not getting laid anytime soon, you throw your dick to the wind, shake it back and forth and turn on the tap. Pure bliss. Now there’s just one difference here. Houston is a 29 year old cop who has eaten so many sausage rolls he’s beginning to look like one himself, he’s not a 15 year old kid but an ignorant prick who unfortunately, also happens to be an ignorant prick of a cop. Apparently he flashed his badge to try to get back in the show, luckily to no avail.
It’s true that Metallica sucks these days but damn peeing on a guy? What the fuck? Anyway, the cop is being punished with a paid vacation. Ouch. And he’s getting charged with trespassing, apparently it’s a $100 fine. Double ouch. Hopefully he’s got Dream Theater tickets cause I’d like this guy a lot more if he took a dump at a Dream Theater show.
