| CRANKY OLD FART'S BROWSER HISTORY #404 [archive] FEB. 11, 2024 |
That time Mojo Nixon and Don Henley sang "Don Henley Must Die" together
Excerpt: "There I was, the king of bullshit, completely flabbergasted," remembers Nixon. "I took my guitar off, put it back on, did that like three times, then got on the mic and said, 'Don, do you want to debate? Do you want to fist fight?' He was shit-faced and he goes, 'I want to sing that song, especially the part about not getting together with Glenn Frey!'"

IWW organizes San Francisco’s City Lights
Kris Kristofferson: Rock star of country music
Wine and wine experts bore me, and advertising is an abomination against the mind, and yet...
Republicans in Florida go to court to stop children from having health care
Three months later, Idaho cops confirm killing blind woman during call for assistance
Cop dies of natural causes shortly after assaulting teenager, so teen is charged with cop's murder
What is this horseshit?
Excerpt: Superboy (also known as Kon-El or Conner Kent) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics... and was created by writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett.
Me again: Jeez, I get weary of corporate America. I don't read comics any more, but I grew up reading DC, and everyone knows that Superboy is the kid version of Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Whatever shenanigans DC has pulled — probably to avoid paying Siegel and Shuster's heirs — Superboy will always be the kid version of Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
