1. an American new wave band that existed from 1976 to 1988. They made great music that drew in classic rock and punk fans. They made innovative award-winning videos and were the kind of band that no one was a fanatic of, yet no one hated (except maybe your mother). Their image and lyrics were primarily about girls, cars, girls, nights on the town, girls, rock'n'roll and girls. Great fun.
2. a killer computer-animated movie released in 2006 that features the voice of Owen Wilson portraying the protagonist carLightning McQueen. Not rip-roaring funny but if you look hard enough, the humor is there (especially in the various scattered pop culture references). OK, the plot does bog down a little bit in the middle of the story, and there are one or two wussy pop songs, too but Cars is a very enjoyable movie for all ages. It is IMHO probably the movie that matters the most this year. Slip in the DVD and watch it. You will be thrilled.

1. the best Cars albums include "Candy - O", "Heartbeat City", "Panarama" and "Anthology - Just What I Needed".
2. the movie Cars has a terrific soundtrack featuring cool songs by Sheryl Crow, Rascall Flats(a stunningly faithful cover of Tom Cochran's 1992 hit "Life is a Highway"),Chuck Berry and more. Very entertaining.

a catchphrase used by politicians to promote their images.
First used by Dan Quayle in the 1992 election.

Tom: that candidate promotes family values!
Jerry: that means that he beats and cheats on his wife, molests his kids, operates a meth lab on the side, and is a dogfucker.
Tom: Oh.

The term "Santa Claus" is an American distortion of the Dutch name "San Niccolaus", meaning "Saint Nicolas". He is known by many other names around the world, such as "Kris Kringle" in some places and "Father Christmas" in Great Britain. Saint Nick was a Catholic bishop in what is now modern Turkey during the days of the Roman Empire. He left gifts for poor people in his town and after he died the legend of St. Nick coming to homes in a chariot carrying presents for good people was born. The legend was spread along with Christianity and when that faith reached the Arctic St. Nick started riding a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. The legend spread around the globe and in the 20th century in America Coca-Cola provided the modern image of "Santa" as fat, jolly, rotund, with white hair and beard, wearing a red suit and black boots and of course, drinking a bottle of Coke. He is beloved by children all over.
Santa Claus is based on a real person, just like many "fairy tales" and myths that have existed throughout history.

1. a classic science fiction novel written by British writer George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) that was written as a warning of how governments can manipulate every aspect of citizens' lives (including the media) to brainwash them into becoming loyal complacent citizens (sheep) and use created situations as an excuse to deprive the populace of their freedoms and civil liberties and human rights. It was written in 1948, so Orwell was using the recent war and the totalitarian fascist and communist regimes that were defeated, as well as said type regimes that would soon be established. This book should be required reading in school, in order that the shit that has occurred since the end of the Cold War at the end of the 80s won't be happening again. History doesn't have to keep repeating itself.
2. adjective to describe something as "totalitarian", "sieg heil" or "Big Brother" or "Orwellian".
3. a hit album by Van Halen. Kept from the #1 album position by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in early 1984.
4. a song by David Bowie that appeared on his 1974 album.

1. Quite possibly the worst and most addictive drug in the universe. The original way to cop it is via hyperdermic needles. Dirty needles can also give you some terrible diseases, including AIDS. It can also be snorted and then there's Mexican tar, which is smoked and can stop your heart in under 30 seconds. Either method can give you a quick "rush" but when it wears off you are really DOWN and you crash real hard.
2. In the 60s the Velvet Underground wrote a song called "Heroin". The pace and tempo of the music speeds up as Lou Reed sings the words describing the rush: smack gets into the veins, I feel like Jesus' son, etc. Then the electric viola puts out a slow drone and Lou stretches out the chorus words to similate the downful drag that comes after the fix wears off. At the last verse the electric guitar and electric viola rev it up in an onslaught and the drummer pounds the skins rapidly to emulate a junkie's pulse while on the fix again. Of course, this rapid increase in music playing, among other aspects of this song) became one of many inspirations for what would later be referred to as punk rock.

1. Richard from Reno, Nevada turned himself for detox treatment in Northern California. His IV use of heroin caused the veins in both his arms to collapse, making them solid purple. They looked like a massive bad tattoo botch job.
2. Heeeehhhh-ro-o-o-innn
It's my life
And it's my wife
It's going to be the death of me!
LOU REED
3. Geoff Tate of Queensryche described the motive behind the writing of "The Needle Lies". He said he never touched that smack but he knew some people who have. He said, "It's shit".
4. One time I was surfing the Net and I came upon a strange website. It detailed about how the Taliban cultivates opium, from which heroin is derived. The pagemaster exhorted junkies to be "patriotic" and quit buying horse from the Afghanistan region and to buy and use Mexican tar heroin only. (!). No shit. I ain't kidding. Can you believe it?!

a bullshit declaration that some high school students are forced to sign by their goody goody two shoes parents that says that they won't use alcohol or drugs during prom night. Ah-ha-ha-hahahahahahahahah!
Prom Promise is an idea spawned by extreme MADD-types, Tipper Gore-types and soccer moms. If you resort to having your kids make such chicken shit pledges like that then you don't really trust them and you ain't raising them up in a good way. If you've done your max to rear them right then you have to let them loose.
1. "...he's got to make his own mistakes..."
RUSH
New World Man
2. the little birdie has to fly sometime.
