I don't know if anyone has ever sung one last song as fitting as Johnny; it is amazing.

He knew exactly what Trent Reznor went through, to write such an fantastic song.

Dusted off the CD player and am partaking in some 3 Colours Red.

The home Internet service is not working. I know it’s an outage, but it’s not mentioned through the IVR system when I called the cable company, and I don’t feel like talking to a representative. I will give it an hour. In the meantime, it’s the 3 Colours Red.

This day in rock history:

September 13, 1960: A campaign was started in the UK to ban the American hit 'Tell Laura I Love Her' by Ray Peterson. The song was being denounced in the press as likely to inspire a teen-age "glorious death cult." The story told of a lovesick youngster who drives in a stock car race to win the hand of his sweetheart. He crashes and just before dying, groans out the words of the title.
