I pay homage to Andrew W.K. and Andrew W.K. alone.

Come on punks with make up, ooo, the new romantics would be shocked. The new romantics were universally derided for their fashion sense all the way between their inception up until now and I dont see it changing in the future.<P>The Clash and The sex pistols had the shock of the new on their side, plus a good designer or two. Besides the clash and pistols were all lean mean speed taking machines. Skinny people look good in almost anything, thats why designers have skinny people model their clothes. <P>Good Charlotte just look rediculous.

I am not ashamed to admitt that I like Good Charlotte and A New Found Glory. I am just a dork who gets easily addicted to catchy music. On the other hand, I am not going to go around saying "LyKe OMG, GC and AvrIL, Are LyKe So PxXXnk Rawwk." Haha. That is wayyy too hard to type that way. Anyways Less Than Jake is awesome but this is awful. They are so much better than the other two combined(sp).

I didn't write to book on fashion trends. But wasn't the whole idea of punk to look foolish and rebellious, to go against fashion? At the time it was fresh and new and rebellious. But now it just looks downright campy and silly. Like wearing bad 70's clothes.<P> I look at pictures of The Clash and I think "Great band, but they sure did look foolish." I look at the Pistols and I think "Novelty act." I look at the Police and I think, "God I fucking hate Sting."<P> If Good Charlotte had originated in 1978, I think they probably would have been emulating Genesis or Yes or Jethro Tull. Hell, if they had originated in the 80's they probably would have been emulating those bands, maybe sharing bills with Journey or REO Speedwagon.<P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Shadrach:<BR><B> I didn't realize you wrote the book on fashion trends.

I had always kind of wondered about the identity of someone self-important enough to call himself "Thatguy". Now the truth has been revealed: "Thatguy" is God Almighty (Budha?) (Allah?) himself.<P> Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but let's review my case for the month of February. I did do some bad things. Probably the worst thing I did was make fun of rock stars on an internet chatboard. And yes, I did also fall off the wagon, consuming three beers and three glasses of wine during the month.. I also took your name in vain a couple of times too….those bad drivers really aren't a good excuse for besmirching your name like that.<P> But I also did some good things. I called my mum weekly, and bought her plane tickets to come visit me. I gave my Metro seat to an elderly African-American woman. I put down the toilet seat after every use, even though I probably pee five times as much as my girlfriend. And finally, I gave my girlfriend the hot beef injection within 24 hours of every time she indicated a desire.<P> So yes, God, I did some bad things AND some good things this month. I will try to be better next month.<P> Well, I'll let you go know. Please work some sense into Saddam and Bush and Blair so that we might avert war.<P> Yours truly,<P> Love,<P> Rhett.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by thatguy:<BR><B> so you're saying that you are intentionally doing something that you know is not a good thing. great karma points there.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

Actually worth more in DC, since she was more probably a member of the proletariat.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ggw:<BR><B> Is that worth more or less points than giving your Metro seat to an elderly European-American woman?</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
