Sad that this economy forces things like a creed reunion and a Backstreet Boys reunion. Why can’t good bands get back together?

Jesus Lizard, Mission of Burma, and Dinosaur Jr., all on tour now…

On topic, I love the fact that the bits of the Slate post excerpted here (no way I’m reading the original) basically make up a list of reasons why Creed sucks, and then a request to ignore all those things. So Creed isn’t bad, as long as you throw out your standards and critical faculties? No doubt that’s true, but hopefully you’d have something better to do with your money and your time.

I can’t fucking believe I actually read a TBogg music list and recognized some of the artists and songs.

The Modern Jazz Quartet? You go boy!

Oh, and in case any of you were wondering, the defending champions from the professional baseball league are back in the championship tournament. Just thought I’d let you know.

Creed Rocks! More Rush please.

Between this defense of Creed and the collected works of the Pantload, this does not speak well for naming your son Jonah.
