People have been making stupid predictions for about as long as people have been talking. Over the past century or so there have been some pretty notable ones:
"Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" -- H. M. Warner, Warner Brothers, 1927.
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943.
"We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962.
"If I make a website dedicated to calling bullshit on minor social grievances, a lot of people will read it and everyone will finally like me." -- Me, crying in bed at night, 2009
It's no secret that no one has any idea what they're talking about when it comes to anything.
Yeah, so a while back we called Lady Gaga a "busted Jersey skank with a few funky beats. Like Blossom with an eating disorder." And while that's all still pretty true and pretty awesome and this daffy bird's performance art project is about as contrived as my years studying poetry in grad school, we're gonna have to print an official correction based upon further evidence coming to light, namely that "Bad Romance" jam. That shit makes me want to put on a pink Darth Vader mask and dance karate Jean Baudrillard's skeleton in the nuts with a pan flute.
Sorry to anyone who may have been offended by it, or anything, ever.

FTW LOL AND ...
So last weekend I was in a taxi going from Turkey's Nest (with the heaviest of pours, replete with 'to go' lids!) in BKLYN to my friend's place in Queens and a video for this came on in the cab.
I then swiped my card to pay.
The ride was cheaper than any damn Boston cab I've ever taken, and that includes tip and the $1.29 I spent on my iPhone to buy the damn song.
Luke, remind me also to burn you a copy of this Cobra Starship rekkid I got in my earbuds...
...it will make you grow a Billie Dee moustache and turn in your friends to the Dark Side.
Haha. I didn't get the new one, but Viva La Cobra was the tits.
"I've done all I can. I'm sorry I couldn't do better,but I got my own problems. And Cobra Starship is about to go on..."
Being up this early.

As the author of said Gaga dis I'm going on the record to say that Bad Romance is the Jam. Man I hate that I'm starting to like this broad.
