Prince can give his records away for free, but ain’t nobody else gonna do it

September 14th, 2007

Prince plans to sue YouTube for its lackluster filtering practices in an effort to “reclaim his art.” And while he’s at it, eBay and The Pirate Bay are on his list, too. If he’s on a quest to become the new Metallica, then this might be a good idea. But Metallica’s notorious bitching and complaining […]

Vedder rocks out with his jock out

September 7th, 2007

Limited-range actor, surfer hack, Johnny-come-lately vegetarian and self-documented abortion enthusiast Eddie Vedder (née Mueller) has been ruining our national pastime’s favorite song for quite a few 7th innings now – ever since Yield ruined a whole 50 minutes of my life back in ‘98 actually.
