Van Hagar

a term used (not necessarily in a derogatory manner) to describe the lineup of Van Halen when Sammy Hagar was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the band (1985 - 1996 and again in around 2003 - 2005).

In 1985 Van Halen got the nickname "Van Hagar" for obvious reasons. The following year I saw Van Hagar live in concert on the 5150 Tour. I think the band was at their commercial peak at that time. 5150 was the band's first #1 album, and of all those VH albums that reached the top it's the best.

Krystal

the Southern U.S. counterpart to what is called White Castle in the Midwest and other regions like New Jersey. Like White Castle restaurants Krystal burger shacks are open 24 hours and the burgers (also called "slyders" because of their extreme greasiness) are cheap. You can get them in a bag of 10. They are square and have holes and are sometimes nicknamed "belly bombs" just like they are in the Northern U.S.

I was with some friends in Mike's Volvo and we were cruising around Orlando, Florida listening to some heavy metal music one night. Mike had on a Triumph tape in the player, later we had on some Van Halen. We stopped at a Krystal burger joint and got some root beers and a bag of 10 slyders. Me and Freddy ate most of them in the back seat of the car, the grease was just dripping from the little slyders. After about 40 minutes or so me and Freddy asked Mike to pull over and stop. Me and Freddy got out of the car and went to the edge of a ditch. It was Barf City for us. It was all too much.

neocon

the "con" is just that - a con artist. Neocons claim that they stand for morality, Christian standards, and "family values" when they cheat on their wives, steal money and lust for power and influence so that can swindle the citizenry and control every aspect of their lives. A neocon is described by Rage Against the Machine as a "snake charmer". A neocon can be a Republican, Democrat or something else entirely. They are, as RATM has put it "you, interested in you". A complete bonehead.

Check out "Sweet Neocon" on the recent album "A Bigger Bang" by the Rolling Stones.

"You say you're a Christian
Well I say you're a hypocrite
You call yourself a patriot
Well I think you're a crock of shit...
... how can you be so wrong
my sweet neocon ...

Kidz Bop

a money-making scam that is the end of music itself. It has little kids "singing" popular songs (which these days are shit anyway) with dirty words edited. Musical talent goes out the window. Perfect for totalitarian soccer moms to give their brats a censored, fucked-up excuse for music to listen to. Trash. The death of music. Period.

All Kidz Bop albums suck out the ass big time. They should never have been made.

Bruce Cockburn

a brilliant modern folk rock singer, guitarist, and songwriter who hails from Canada. He has been awarded the honor of the Order of Canada for his insightful contributions to music. He's been in the business at least since the early 70s. He is a Christian and his faith is reflected in many of his songs, but he never shoves it down the listeners' throats. He has traveled all over the globe, and these travels have provided great inspiration for his songs. His hits include "Waiting for the Lions", "Listen for the Laugh", "The Coldest Night of the Year", "The Trouble With Normal", "(And They) Call It Democracy", "If a Tree Falls" and of course, "(If I Had A) Rocket Launcher", which is about the Guatemala civil war where the first person declares if he had a rocket launcher he would retaliate, would not hesitate, and "some son-of-a-bitch would die".

I saw Bruce Cockburn in concert in a club in Columbus, Ohio in early 1999. Me and some other fans met him in the parking lot and talked with him for a while. He was very nice, very cool, very polite and he would gladly autograph anything you had. He autographed my ticket stub. A real intelligent and cool dude.

freedom

1. Liberty, the ability to do what you want to as long as you're not hurting someone else. A cornerstone of the United States of America.

2. A 1985 hit for British duo Wham!. Note how singer George Michael puts on the image of being straight in the lyrics.

3. Of all the hit songs that were written after 9/11 that truly expresses America's heritage of liberty, this song by Sir Paul McCartney does it best without turning patriotism into money. It's by a Brit, too. Imagine that. All the other "patriotic" pop and country tunes that the damn radio played are trend-chasing garbage.

1. The U.S. Constitution embodies American freedom and democracy.

2. ... I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you
Du du du...

3. ... I will fight for the right
To live in freeee-dom...
