Willie brings one out of the closet

Willie Nelson unveiled a gay-themed tune on Howard Stern’s show today. The track is called “Cowboys Are Secretly, Frequently (Fond Of Each Other)” and was written by Ned Sublette back in 1981. How many of Hoo-hoo’s fans secretly cringed, I wonder? Right, I know, Howie and his gang and fans are all for everyone. Hopefully Scott Stampp will record a similar tune and have all his Christian fans abandon him completely.

DMC has made an album for me

Forget the old school, G. Let’s go back to the beginning. That’s what DMC (formerly of Run-DMC, for you new kiddies) is doing on his first solo album. He’s digging up the classic rock grooves that he has dug for a long time for the disc. He wants old white dudes in their 60s to enjoy it. Hell, I am on board. Being 33, I like the old school, and I always liked DMC, and if he wants to rock me with some classics, then I’ll be listening. My money’s down for it being better than Rev Run’s recent release, anyway. Just remember, “these rhymes are Darryl’s, those burgers are Ronald’s!”

Our favorite personal Jesus gets married

Yes, you heard it right here, folks. Our beloved punching bag Scott Stapp got married and then was arrested 24 hours later for public intoxication. Oh my, what fun. And who the hell names their kid “Jagger”? Why, Scott Stampp does, of course! And let’s not forget how groovy unto the Lord he is as well. After all, we have so many of his fans showing up here and telling us that. Well fans, he’s proven to be a douchebag yet again. Do you think Jebus will forgive him for his escapades? And how dumb does a woman have to be to even get involved with this loser, let alone one as smokin’ as Jaclyn Nesheiwat? Place your bets on how long this one will last. If Stampp gets divorced, he’ll be one step closer to being Satan’s flunky.

The Mountain Goats: “This Year”

The Mountain Goats are one of the more prolific and literate bands to be described as “indie rock.” Singer John Darnielle sounds a bit like Colin Meloy (of the Decemberists), which means his voice is pleasant, if a bit nasal. This track starts off with a nice piano riff before Darnielle starts to sing about a recent roadtrip. But the chorus – “I’m going to make it through this year / if it kills me” – is what drives the song.
