It's A Nice Day For A White We.. er, Christmas?
Okay.
My entire worldview has been shaken to its foundations. Shattered. The Matrix has had me, but I'm ready to take the red pill now. I can see that it's all a manufactured reality that doesn't make any sense.
My reality cannot accept what I saw today.
On the store shelf. At Best Buy. The discount music section. This.... this ... thing:
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. The Billy Idol Christmas Album.
We've gone from punk, to pop, to... crooning traditional holiday favorites in the style of Bing Crosby. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. I mean, Alice Cooper is running drives to support music education in public schools, and stuff. But MAN am I feeling old all of the sudden. How soon until Marilyn Manson is doing jingles for nutritional supplements?

Aw, man. I heard that one YEARS ago on KFOG in the San Francisco Bay area. They had a segment on the morning program where they'd just play a really horrible song. This was one of the worst.
If you hit Billy's MySpace, you can hear an excerpt. He sounds like a low budget attempt to be Brian Setzer.
Hee hee...you can hear some of this in James Lilek's "Christmas at the Diner" podcast, where he plays some of the WORST Christmas music ever recorded. And creates a narrative out of it. It's awesome.
Heh - thanks for the link. I'm gonna have to check this out.
Funny how we celebrate the worst of things sometimes. We just spent last night watching "Hawk the Slayer." Providing our own MST-3K style riffs. It was fun. But MAN that movie was awful. And they even set it up for a sequel at the end. *Shudder*.
