I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
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.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.A statement found on several Deadheads' vehicle rear bumpers expressing thanks to the late Jerry Garcia, singer, guitarist, songwriter and icon for the San Francisco roots rock band the Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead disbanded in December 1995 after the death of Jerry Garcia earlier in the year.
The Grateful Dead are an American institution.
They truly loved to play rock'n'roll music as well as its roots, the band was very devoted to these things.
Thank you Jerry.

Get the Thank You Jerry mug.A minor actress who was so obsessed with Tom Cruise since she was a teen. She had a poster of him on her wall. She because an actress and starred in dreck like 'Dawson's' and some forgettable flicks. She met Tom Cruise during the Aughts and every time you watched the tube or surfed the net, you'd see pics of them smooching under a table, on a floor, against a wall, everywhere. He was 43, she was 26 and a virgin (supposedly). Converting to Tom's Scientology cult, they held a shotgun wedding that her Catholic parents didn't even bother attending. After giving birth to daughter Suri and Tom eating her placenta, they later divorced. Now she dates/chases other movie stars so she is one of the most notorious STARFUCKERS around today. She sold her soul for this. A total sellout.
1. Katie Holmes was a cute young lady when she chased Tom Cruise/Cruz. now as a starfuck single mom, she's looking tired and isn't getting too much Hollyweird work lately. But she got that Big Fat Money and child support. Yeah yeah yeah.
2. One of my hobbies is astronomy and during the late Aughts a comet named Holmes (after it's discoverer) experienced an unexpected ice explosion on its head, making a nice display in binoculars. My friends and family joked about Comet Holmes being 'prettier than Sherlock Holmes, Larry Holmes (80s boxing champ with NO ego) and Katie Holmes'. I said, 'Of course Comet Holmes is 'prettier than Katie, she's just a gold-digging dumb starfucker'. Then I got dirty looks.
