The Top 15 Problems With Rock Stars These Days
- Angst in their pants.
- Oh, sure, with the cheap materials they use these days, *anyone* can smash the hell out of a guitar.
- Addition of that fourth chord makes the music too complicated for enjoyment.
- Rather than doing 17 year olds backstage, they do themselves in public restrooms.
- The Beatles used mind-expanding drugs to write songs that would change the world. Phish use mind-expanding drugs to debate whether Mrs. C. and the Fonz got it on in the episode when Mr. C. took Richie to the lodge convention.
- Too much blood in their alcohol systems.
- STILL haven't figured out the lyrics to "Louie, Louie."
- They're not feminine enough! And don't get me started on the *women*!
- It used to take DECADES before your number one hit was corrupted into the theme song for some bland, inane commercial.
- We helped stop a war. They help Noel Gallagher stumble to the stage to pick up his MTV Video Music Award.
- You need a Ph.D. in computer widget thingies to play the friggin' instruments!
- No one wears codpieces anymore.
- These kids are spoiled, what with the high quality of drugs these days. No one appreciates the sheer *quantity* of drugs that were necessary to get on a decent buzz back in the '70s.
- The only people delivering more angst are mail carriers.
and the Number 1 Problem With Rock Stars These Days...
- Earplugs?! Feah! In *our* day, we bled from the ears every night -- and LIKED it!
