I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
This is a catch phrase that originated in a TV ad in the late Eighties that featured super athlete extraordinaire Bo Jackson and rock'n'roll pioneer Bo Diddley (he's notorious for his famous box-shaped electric guitar). Basically, the term means that somebody doesn't know doodly squat.
The narrator says:
Bo knows football.
Bo knows baseball.
Bo knows weightlifting.
***********************
In the meantime, Bo Diddley cranks out the notes on his guitar.
Then he says:
Bo, you don't know diddley!
Bo knows football.
Bo knows baseball.
Bo knows weightlifting.

Then he says:
Bo, you don't know diddley!

Get the Bo, you don't know diddley! mug.a really overhyped bad show, where pretty boys and PYTs get their famous 15 minutes attempting to sing on TV and in most cases, prove that they have absolutely no talent whatsoever. The whole contest is rigged up, the lousiest contestants are purposely kept in the contest for a period of time just to rile up viewers' passions to motivate them to call up and say that the lousy contestant sucks big time. Those who do have any measure of talent at all, winner or not, sometimes get a recording contract and are set up with hack songwriters and producers who put together the "Idol"s first album, which is a pile of trash - IOW, whatever talent there may be is completely wasted. American Idol sucks.
American Idol is a lot like Star Search, a "talent search" TV program of the Eighties that seemed to have all the chumps performing on it.

Get the American Idol mug.1. simply, it's a Cadillac car that's pink in color.
2. a classic song used as a B-side for Bruce Springsteen's 1984 hit "Dancing in the Dark". Soon after that hit raced up the charts Pink Cadillac cars became a vogue. The Aretha Franklin hit "Freeway of Love" mentions a pink Cadillac. Bruce's track was covered by Natalie Cole and was a hit for her in 1988. Also the country rock band South Pacific made their own cover version. Also in 1989 there was a film by that name, and so on.

1. Elvis Presley owned a pink Cadillac - maybe that was the inspiration for Bruce's song.
2. Bruce's "Pink Cadillac" was a major coin-grabber in the jukeboxers in the bars and clubs.

Get the Pink Cadillac mug.1. the Italian name for the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus
2. a pop entertainer who has some decent songs and does stupid image things to start controversies and sell albums and other items like her book "Sex". Some of her videos have offended many people and some of them have even been banned by MTV, VH1 and other video networks and programs. They have featured things like sex with a dead man, burning crosses, S & M scenes, violence, her in a VERY tight sweater (Vogue)and more. She has posed for smut mags and porno flicks. Her current tour features a skit where she acts as a dominitrix and sings while strapped to a cross, mocking Jesus. The shitty teen pop phenomenon (Britney, Xtina, etc.) is entirely inspired by Madonna, so she has a lot to answer for.

1. I saw a Madonna and child painting at the art museum today.
2. While on tour in Italy Madonna invited the pope to see her show in Rome. Needless to say, he didn't go. He, the local Jewish community and the local Muslim community asked her not to reenact the mock crucifixion scene in her Rome show. She did it anyway.

Get the Madonna mug.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...

Get the freedom mug.a spectacular comet that came close to the Earth in early 1996. It was a total surprise for the public so the end-of-the-millenium doomsayers and New Age crackpots couldn't bombard us with their superstitious bullshit. It was visible to the unaided eye and was "something to talk about" in the office and computer lab. It sported an unusually long tail. A thrill. Mere months after the comet's appearance, Comet Hale-Bopp graced our skies.
Comet Hyakutake was discovered by the Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake. The brilliance of the comet made Yuji a celebrity, particularly in Japan.

Get the Comet Hyakutake mug.a wonderful band that formed in the mid 80s somewhere in Massachusetts. They practically played 'grunge' and 'alternative' before those terms became a vogue around 1991. Members are J Mascis on guitar and most of the vocals, Lou Barlow on bass and Murph on drums (with images of sunshine faces on the bass drum heads). All their albums are pretty good, 'Green Mind' from 1992 recently got a reissue with bonus tracks. While many other alternative bands have imploded or bit the dust, Dinosaur Jr. is still around and if anything is to be said, they're even better now than ever before.
1. In 2018 I saw Dinosaur Jr. at a beerfest in Marengo, Ohio and it brought me back to my college days. After everything that's come and gone, musically and otherwise - it's good to see these troopers still in the game. J Mascis now has long white hair, a long white beard and he looks like a wise man. He still sings 'softly' and his guitar playing is fierce and LOUD. And their recent CDs are better than previous. They're better than ever.
2. in 2021 during lockdown Dinosaur Jr. released a new CD, 'Sweep It Into Space'. It's very good. They made a few videos for it, but the pandemic kept them from touring to promote it. So they put on a free internet show for the NPR web page, playing in an empty ballroom with just a cinematographer. On the stage they had namesake toys - inflatable dinosaur toys of several species, Muppet dolls (like Animal and Ernie), a John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album, a Rolling Stones 8-track tape and other props on the stage and for 45 minutes they rocked the house (sans audience). They were as electric and stellar as when I saw them 3 years before and they made my day. Thanks, guys. Now let's stay safe for the better times to come.
