'cause when the Bambi soundtrack (which should be soundtrack or childrens) comes as "Alternative And Punk", you know there's a problem.

...except the reason it hurts is 'cause i fell asleep on the couch with my baby sleeping on my lap (and she stayed there for a whole hour!).
gotta cherish those moments when you know they may not happen all too soon...
on the bright side, my foot doesn't hurt as much anymore...

on the 111 wussiest songs of all time...

On "Wussiness" and a review of AOL's 111 wussiest songs of all time:
On "Wussiness" and a review of AOL's 111 wussiest songs of all time:
27. 'More Than Words' - Extreme (1991) - Much like Crash, I'd argue this the opposite of wussy. This is an extremely clever usage of the trappings of wussiness, (acoustic guitars, harmonies, falsettos), to put forth that least wussy of all messages (i.e. "Shut the hell up and fuck me.").
Bitch, if you want to fucking kill me, do it by looking at me straight in the eye and slamming my car head-on, rather than obliviously running a stop sign 'cause you were blabbing on the fucking cell phone!!!!!
i've never wanted VA to have a hands-free law more than that moment.
and yes, i was in my car, WITH HEADLIGHTS ON! She simply never looked my way at all, but only straight ahead to the end of the drive-thru line, like there was nobody else on the planet (except who she was talking to).

I realize that press reporters like to (and by tradition, need to) add aside comments and alternative names and references to people in order to avoid using the name over and over again, but sometimes they need to double-check whether or not a factoid they pull out is in any way relevant, and whether or not it brings in an utterly unnecessary and distracting emotional reaction out of the reader.
Case in point, this article about which of Richard Wagner's descendents will maintain a festival of Wagner's works after the 86 year old grandson retires or dies: "War of the Wagners" rumbles on in Bayreuth (Reusters - Karin Strohecker):
This factoid is both irrelevant and utterly insulting to the woman in so many ways its disgusting. There is absolutely no reason, 70 years after the peak of the Nazi movement and 60 years since the man's death, to have to associate anybody who wasn't even there (being either 50 years before or 50 years after) with the madness that was the Nazi party and its leader.
Wagner might have felt insulted 70s years ago, but his great grandaughter should be infuriated at the association this writer put forth, both as an insult to the composer and to herself for being mentioned in the same sentence.
To make matters worse, it probably isn't even true. Hitler's diaries show more of a fondness for Nicholai and Bruckner (who was from the same county as he) than Wagner. In the end, though Wagner's own view of anti-semitism is quite well documented (and were hardly unusual for its time), his music was appropriated by evil men for far more than it should have been.

The battle for the succession has been fierce in recent years, but the frontrunner is now Wolfgang Wagner's chosen heir, his 28-year-old daughter Katharina -- great-granddaughter of Hitler's favorite composer.[emph mine]
