Do some recon in the morning, man. This is a lot more creative
and fun than rolling a ball of corporate art into one like they did
in Fight Club.

Even though I'm not gay, I did go to a gay club the other night with
a friend and her 2 gay pals to see Margaret Cho do a short routine
to promote her new film Notorious C.H.O. It was hilarous. I noticed
one guy had a pink t-shirt with an American flag on it and another
fellow had a shirt that was entirely the flag. If the government would
just copyright that thing, there would be budget surpluses for as
far as the eye can see.

Eminem was mentioned on another thread and he does seem
to have homophobic views even though he hugged Elton John
and played Robin to Dr. Dre's Batman in the video for Without
Me - a great song that takes the time to bash the Vice President's
wife. I put him in the same class as Guns and Roses, not the best
politics but a lot of passion. For some GnR energy with somtimes-
progressive lyrics check out Sparta. They'll be on Craig Kilborn tonight and
were At The Drive In during a previous incarnation. They've opened
for Weezer and Jimmy Eat World and are currently touring on their
own.
