So apparently, rap and reality TV icon Flavor Flav is opening his own fried chicken chain. I'm sure he'll kick some ass, after all, he seasons his meat.
Who is this nut?

File Under: What's up with Kiss and the Boss
I have a dirty little secret, I don't really like KISS. I never have. Sure they have a couple of songs that I can sing along to, but overall, I couldn't care less. I also haven't given a hoot about anything Bruce Springsteen has done in a real long time. Seems I'm not the only one. This Lefsetz Letter post, really kind of sums it all up, quite nicely.

"I saw Gene Simmons yesterday in the Hagstrom booth at NAMM. I’d like to tell you there were groupies, clamoring to be added to the tongued-one’s Polaroid collection, but there were just a few geeks, looking at this intelligent man not quite as smart as he’d like us to believe who’s great at selling and mediocre at music.
Gene didn’t need to be a rock star. He was once a teacher. He can sell ice to Inuits. But timing is everything, as Malcolm Gladwell says. Rock was making all the money in the seventies, so that’s what Gene created, an over the top rock and roll circus. With one certifiable hit, "Rock And Roll All Nite". But as the seventies wore on, the band had no luck with anybody other than its acne-scarred fans, so it did what every loser act does when it gets desperate…IT FOLLOWED THE TREND! KISS went DISCO!
The result was "I Was Made For Lovin’ You". KISS’ highest charting single ever! It peaked at number 11 in 1979.
There was a bit of MTV fame thereafter, with different players and no makeup, but ever since KISS has been running on fumes. Mr. Simmons boasting how great they are as they reunite with the old players, put the makeup back on, twist the little cred they’ve got with their nitwit fans into a new concoction and then sell the same fourth-rate rock one more time.
Maybe if you were prepubescent in the seventies you got KISS. Anybody whose testicles had descended scratched his head and ignored the act. Figuring if they wanted theatrics, they’d at least go for Alice Cooper, who wasn’t purely about entertainment, who was truly testing limits, whose songs had something to say.
Yes, Alice Cooper deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. KISS? We’ve been living in a Simmons-free zone for eons. Gene’s the only one who doesn’t know it. With the Internet and a zillion cable TV stations we can avoid him, let him grub for his money. After all, Gene’s no Bruce Springsteen.
Then again, is Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen anymore?"

File Under: Live TV can be enlightening
I don't watch American Idol anymore, I just couldn't take the bullshit anymore. What bullshit you say? The kind that is exposed on live broadcasts, like this. Pay attention to Paula, who has opinions/notes on songs that have yet to be performed. I wonder which Nigel gave her the notes.
