What's a Symbolic, Personal Gesture that means "You Suck?"
In honor of The Best News Ever (see the sidebar), I must link to this somewhat dated but astoundingly hilarious news article from MTV's website, which includes some of the best one-liners to ever see publication, including -
"In a pair of lengthy voice mails the singer left with the paper, Stapp said that what fans mistook for him passing out onstage during the song 'Who's Got My Back' was actually a piece of rock and roll theater in which he lay down to make a point."
- and -
"'The motion basically argues that you can't bring a lawsuit against a band for sucking,' said Daniel J. Voelker, attorney for the disgruntled fans, 'that this is a subjective issue.'"
- and -
"'We apologize if you don't feel that the show was up to the very high standards set by our previous shows in Chicago,' a note on Creed's Web site read. 'For now we hope that you can take some solace in the fact that you definitely experienced the most unique of all Creed shows and may have become part of the unusual world of rock and roll history!'"
Yes, I'm aware that the news is a bit dated, but you'll have to excuse me, as I haven't seen MTV2 News in eight months, my subscription to the Sunday Los Angeles Times only kicked in recently, and I'm a couple issues behind with my sole other news source, The New Yorker, which may not have regarded this particular item as worthy of note, anyway. But I'm currently taking resumes for an assistant who could keep on top of these things.
