I watched an interview with Gene Simmons on Shatner's Raw Nerve. When He asked Gene what his favorite song was Gene said it was "Rock and Roll All Night". It was his favorite because that song's made him the most money. That song is my fucking musical nightmare. It is the fucking sound-track to a suicidal over-dose, blaring out of the one working speaker on a boom-box purchased at a dollar store three years ago while a combination of heroin and methamphetamine course through your system and your eyes flutter to the back of your drug-addled skull. You'd have been too high to remember it so it's just as well it was your intention to have your heart explode or stop from the ill-suited combination of opiates and amphetamine plus the massively corrosive stepping ingredients your third-tier dealer added to maximize his profit margin, never-minding the speed wasn't properly filtered when it was being titrated and you'd be retarded from mercury poisoning. Sort of like the line of shit you're trying to sell, right now. What you just said about those old geezers pushing their left-over crap and selling out shows isn't any antithesis to my point. It is EXACTLY my point. "Rock and Roll All Night" still sucks donkey nuts. It doesn't matter that people love it or any of the other pap littering thrift fairs held at a local dilapidated hanger on an old air-force base. Among the other white-trash paraphernalia, like Dokken concert T-shirts and unsent mix-tapes made for girls who were so far above the station of the sender, he could have set himself on fire and she still would never have remembered his name, that song is nothing more or less than detritus littering the cultural milieu like a Coors beer can in a collection of beer-bottles in a frat-boy's dorm room. I have appreciation for good music. What you and I consider good music is, however, radically different. It doesn't matter how many people love that song they lost their virginity to after a romantic date involving a fondling during Cannonball Run II, liberal amounts of a horrible drink which ambitiously combined peach-schnaps and Ripple White Zinfandel with dinner in the car near the local Dairy Queen. 80's music will always suck. It sucked then and it still sucks. It doesn't seem to matter who it was made by, but 90% of it was garbage. Using an appeal to populace logical fallacy just won't make it better. It had nothing to do with one-hit wonders or established bands. It was still absolutely horrid and the only reason people glob into concert stadiums to see the washed-up, has-been, drug addled Ozzy Osbourne is because of a combination of saccharine sentimentality, a cloying desperation to hold onto their youth, and otherwise ossified thinking resultant from one too many re-runs of MacGyver and Night Rider.

We have a new Spirit5.
