Anyone in a public domain of any sort (bloggers, tweeters, wanna-be journalists, need to take a class in this. We saw it with Dan Wheldon, and with Ed Reed… people randomly guessing at things they think they know, and then those guesses spreading around the internet. It was a ‘sure thing’ that Ed Reed tore his ACL/MCL. The problem is that there are no consequences… you can throw shit at the wall, without having to clean up the mess that doesn’t stick to it.
January 20th, 2012 at 8:25 AM
I linked the article a few days ago where she was in a coma, and it was really awkward reading a story about a young woman in a coma, with pictures of her in semi-SFW lingerie poses. Not a good editorial choice on that.

Taylor Swift’s manager is the smartest man on earth. He recognized that a wannabe singer with average talent and limited songwriting ability wouldn’t work in pop (with her looks/style, anyway), so he shoved her into country. Brilliant.
January 20th, 2012 at 8:29 AM
“Costa Concordia: investigators probe role of young Moldovan woman on cruise ship”

So much this. That phrase is going to be on the Internet’s tombstone
January 20th, 2012 at 8:29 AM
Also pissing me off:
If you are so fucking innocent, why not explain the circumstances. It’s pretty bullshit to say “there are reasons which will come to light, but we are just going to sit on them for 6 months while public opinion festers against us”. Reminds me of Spygate, where BB supposedly had some good reasons/justification and why it wasn’t an advantage (no in-game access), but decided to give everyone the middle finger instead, realizing that defending himself wasn’t worth it.

She’s apparently quite the nice girl, as I have lots of friends that have run into her at this yuppie/pretentious cafe down the street, but the fact that all her songs are the same friggin thing is ridiculous. Flipping through radio I heard a song “If I die young bury me in satin…” and it was a monumental upset when I found it she wasn’t the one singing it.

January 20th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Exactly. She essentially took a shortcut. She would have been eaten alive had she tried to run the top 40 gauntlet, so her manager had her sing the same pop songs in a country setting.
January 20th, 2012 at 8:42 AM

January 20th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
I think you meant Jonah Hill.
January 20th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
She sold more records, more iTunes downloads, and FAR FAR more concert tickets (one of the biggest tours of the past 10 years). Beyonce is the only one that might be bigger simply on “it” factor. Rihanna couldn’t even sell out any shows on her tour. Katy Perry…nope.

The first season was a bit uneven but I think it was the best show on television last year. And 2011 had some GREAT television (Justified, GoT, Archer, Boardwalk Empire, Community, Parenthood, Homeland, Boss)
It’s certainly not for everyone. But when it works, there’s no better marriage of acting and writing on the small screen.

January 20th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
Because it came too late..
But this is just not true. Duffy/McTibble throw-away posts get 300 comments, not because of the posts, but because within 10 comments we go off-topic and talk about beer/BBQ/sex and it takes off from there. Comments are more about shooting the shit with your invisible friends, than thoughtful reaction to a news story. TBLAD is dead because no one is around and there is no mobile site to give people access throughout the evening.

No musical act of the last 12 years should be allowed to be in the halftime show. I’d rather have 60 year old acts than today’s shit show.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
I’m surprised Kirk is still playing, heard he’s got some really bad carpal tunnel syndrome going on the past couple years.
there’s very few “safe” songs that could get airtime on a network. Fuel, Enter Sandman, I Disappear, Battery from what i could think of off the top of my head.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
a) there’s no way they could play one…kirk hammett and lars havent practiced in years and would botch the 4 minute interlude in the middle.
didnt they play it in 2004ish at the mtv something? besides, as bad as st anger sucked, that and the latest album proved lars can still play double bass. they would nail it easy.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:16 AM

…Duffy/McTibble throw-away posts get 300 comments, not because of the posts, but because within 10 comments we go off-topic and talk about beer/BBQ/sex and it takes off from there. Comments are more about shooting the shit with your invisible friends, than thoughtful reaction to a news story. TBLAD is dead because no one is around and there is no mobile site to give people access throughout the evening.
There are nights when I check in here, and it is pretty dead. I would get a kick out of it, if it were still around. Heck, I’ve been tempted to volunteer to be the “house daddy” of it. Don’t drink much beer, don’t get any sex anymore, but I still crave BBQ…

I live in Central PA. Drive 30 miles in any direction and you’re surrounded by toothless tree-folk. You have to struggle to find a country song on the radio that doesn’t have a pop sound. It’s absurd.

I love Springsteen and he brings awesome energy, but I don’t want to hear the new stuff he keeps pushing. Yeah America rules, whatever dude, I don’t need to hear that in every song.

it really is. classic country stations all over are changing to a “mixed” format because they think everyone wants to hear that pop shit. they don’t. I e-mailed a station in Little Rock I listen to on-line during the day and told them how stupid it was. they didn’t care.

Unfortunately, they do. Country hasn’t enjoyed this type of mainstream acceptance and popularity since Garth Brooks’ heyday.
I’m not trying to claim that modern country blows. It doesn’t. There are some strong artists out there making pretty damn good albums. But I’m guessing country is going to track closer to pop in the coming years, not move farther away.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
It sounds lame, but Springsteen live is so awesome. Im not even a fan really, dont have any of their ‘records’, dont make an effort to know any of their songs, but tagged along w/ my crazy aunt and uncle to their concert at Fenway and they put on a hell of a show. Just what you want for SB halftime.

I’ve seen him twice, and he has brought it both times. I remember seeing him at Hershey back in 2008 and his encore, might have been the best encore I’ve heard. He played Thunderroad, Jungleland, Seven Nights to ock, Born to Run, Rosalita, Tenth Ave Freeze-out, American Land and Gloria. That show was kind of awesome no matter what.
January 20th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
yeah, i appreciated him much more when i was teaching myself guitar and tried to play fade to black.

Yeah, but people saw these cycles before. It seems that there is a 20-year or so back-and-forth. Same concerns were out in the 80s (take a listen to some Kenny Rogers or Dolly Parton from that era).

This. The only pop country artist that is any good, IMO, is Darius Rucker
