Then came the wait. The nail biting, sleepless wait. But the light shone itself amidst the dusk of the wait. Mayer responded mere hours after Wentz with the surging passion of a Shakespearean sonnet. Here it is in its entirely annotated glory ... read more |

You got our hopes up for a better MTV, or better, no MTV. Now, you’ve just let them give you a cold glass of milk to calm down before they tucked you into a pillowy bed of bullshit. Your show will probably only last until the next season of Making the Band or the next Real World/Road Rules Challenge ... read more |

I love watching people play through pain. From Willis Reed hobbling out during game 7 of the 1970 NBA finals to Bobby Baun scoring a game 6 overtime winner on a broken leg, sucking it up is a part of life for some athletes. Unfortunately, musicians aren’t always as willing to tough it out. In fact, some have been known to cancel entire tours for horrific ailments like acute anxiety and lingering colds. How pathetic.
