I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
1. lengthy prog rock/hard rock tune by the Canadian band Rush. I think it refers to a classic piece of lit called "Kubla Khan", don't quote me on this.
2. one of the most wretchedly godawful movies ever made. An absolute waste of time, film, money and effort. It was a total dud and a bomb during the summer of 1980. The story line was unbelievably stupid. It was possibly the worst movie ever released to public cinemas until that exalted status was taken by "Sibling Rivalry" ten years later. It starred the Aussie Olivia Newton-John as a "muse", can U dig it? But it gets worse from there, much worse. About the best thing about this flick is the historical fact that the action that occured during the music clips foretold the emergence of MTV the following year. The soundtrack ain't too bad, however. Olivia scored a big hit with "Magic", another one with "Suddenly" (with Cliff Richard), and the title track with the "Electric Light Orchestra". ELO also scored high with their own "I'm Alive" and "All Over the World". Despite the embarrassment that this shitty movie placed upon them, ELO and Olivia would go on further into their music careers with even more success.

1. When I saw Rush on their "30th Anniversary Tour" in 2004 they played a wide spectrum of classics, including "Xanadu".
2. I first saw Xanadu on TV at my grandparents' house one summer a few years after that movie first came out. A complete piece of trash. Olivia herself would later star in another flick, "Two of a Kind", with John Travolta again. It too was an utter pile of puke. My roomate commented on Olivia's nice ass. That was the best thing you could say about that one.

Get the Xanadu mug.Pat DiNizio, singer/rhythm guitarist/songwriter of the cool New Jersey garage rock/alternative rock band Smithereens says that this phrase, which is the title of a hit from their 1991 album "Blow Up", means basically "Hey man, c'est la vie". This is in the CD liner notes of the album "Blown to Smithereens, Best of the Smithereens".

Get the Top of the Pops mug.The personal anthem of the famous Cookie Monster on the wonderful PBS educational kids show Sesame Street. The song also gives kids a few pointers on the letter "C". We all love the Cookie Monster.
Here's the lyrics to the song.
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Cookie Monster, you're rad! We dig you! You ROCK!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Cookie Monster, you're rad! We dig you! You ROCK!

Get the C is for Cookie mug.quite simply, this is a term used to describe former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry. His vocal crooning styles, his habit of wearing stylish clothes when he plays the piano, synthesizer, and occasionally guitar, his stylish, suave, sophisticated and elegant image that he shows in pictures, performance and video and the fact that Roxy Music inspired punk rock and New Wave leads to this designation. Today he pursues his solo career, sometimes covering artists that inspire him - like Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and yes, Frank Sinatra. His sound is now generally the New Romantic and Eurodisco styles that Roxy Music laid the foundation for.
I heard Roxy Music on the radio and saw some of their videos (as well as Bryan Ferry solo)on MTV in the Eighties. In 1990 I had a buyer's card filled up with purchase punches which meant I could get a free album. The girl at the checkout said that the album I got (a Roxy best-of) was really good, and she said that Bryan Ferry is a "punk Sinatra". Man was she right! I've been a fan ever since.

Get the punk Sinatra mug.it's the name that two young women took for themselves when they decided to form a singing duo. This was in New York City during the mid to late 70s, when the punk/New Waverevolution was erupting and coming into its own. Probably because their name, they never went very far.
I was paging thru a documentary book about Blondie (that New Wave band featuring Debbie Harry) that my girlfriend loaned to me and I saw a picture of a party going on at the legendary CBGB club. Amongst the crowd inside were the members of the duo Sic Fux. There were more pictures of the duo throughout the book.

Get the sic fux mug.a popular catch-all term first widely used by loudmouth TV show host Morton Downey Jr.. He was always popping off the chops about what he believed in and he frequently shoved his ideas on others and shouted down his rivals/opponents/adversaries/whatever by trying to have the last word on everything, name calling, interjecting put-downs, shooting his mouth off like a kid and often giving the final retort of "Zip it!". His show caused quite a stir in 1988 - 1989, it was what people in colleges and workplaces discussed a lot. The worse legacy from it all is that in the coming decade and into the 21st century a tidal wave of sensational journalism, obnoxious TV and radio dunderheads, stupid one track mind politicians and other cretins belching nerve gas, intolerant attitudes and hatred would pollute the media, government and entertainment worlds.
Most TV, radio, other forms of entertainment and political commentary is justegotistical trash. There's just a bunch of arrogant screechy foos who are rigid and not open to other ideas. They tell others to "Zip it!" or to "fuck yourself" like a certain Dick said to a Congress man all those years ago, and there is a stench of arrogant pushoverness, closed-mindedness and egos larger than the planet Jupiter (and that's HUGE, fellas! Over 1500 X larger than Earth). I wish people would zip it and listen to each other again. I wish there was respect for diverse ideas and such again. Everybody zip it. You don't have all the right answers to everything. Neither do I.

Get the Zip it! mug.stupid lies, rumors, gossip and made up stories that wusses and bullies tell themselves (and sometimes to others) in order to feel macho, 'informed' and powerful when in fact they are nothing but juvenile ignoramuses who go through life using 'big name' labels for other (different) people who have no idea what those words even mean. Shit stories are so ridiculous that nobody with any sense would believe them but these churlish idiots tell these things to themselves because they know they are losers.
1. Tom always shoots his mouth off in the locker room badmouthing football teams and rock groups that he knows nothing about. He always goes around telling shit stories about himself and he loves to put everyone else down. Everybody else in school is either a 'faggot', a 'nerd' or if it's a girl she's a 'bitch'. He's just a juvenile imbecile that nobody likes.
2. Donnie Douchebag Trump always talks shit stories about how women just love him, America loves him and now he says he's the 'chosen one'. He knows he's a jerk and in reality he cozies up to dictators and he loves to get his ass spanked by a ho.
