Paw1's Comments (448)

“Who appointed you to give the bottom line? That's a bit arrogant, especially since it represents the 50s and not the current mind set of teens and 20 somethings.
His cd will go platinum..­. keep up or check out.”

“I don't know, but your comment sounds a bit old already! You have much to say, but among so many words, I still hear nothing more than discrimination. I'd say, equal rights for all or to anyone, that's all. Excuse me, is my opinion, and as a gay man who has been denied the right to marry the man I want, a right that has been denied by no less than heterosexual persons, at least, I shall use one of the few rights that have not been able to take off, and say that your comment sounds a bit hypocritical.”

“One of the links within the links had a small statement and showed a picture of the longer red dress Julia Roberts wore to the opera. This story and the most of the ones linked to it frustrate the cr*p out of me.

PAw1 - I'm with you.”

“Thank you I thought I was the only one not seeing the hooker picture of her....”

“No orgies, booo!”

“The problem is called "slow news day," so, being owned by Rupert Murdoch of Fox "News" infamy, the New York Post makes it up.

Boycotting Fox "News" won't cut it. We must boycott all "News" Corporation holdings, including their 20th Century Fox movie studios, MySpace.com, Hulu.com (no thanks to HuffingtonPost.com for carrying Hulu.com content, btw!), National Geographic Channel, Wall Street Journal Bloomberg.comm and the Economist for the truth about the same subjects) ... boycott EVERYTHING that makes revenue for Rupert Murdoch.

“Trap, Trig and Trip isn't it.

The next time one of the Palin girls gets pregnant, many years from now, they will have to buy a dictionary and tear out the page with the Tr's....I mean you can't stop now.

Trans might be good for the next one, it has the required 'Tr" and could be short for Trans Am (like grandma)

Or Transmission. Transparent.

Yup, Trans should be the name of the next Palin grandson!

“Since "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" came out in 2007, Activision has added major artists as playable avatars in the Guitar Hero franchise. Around 30 artists have been added to these games, and in nearly every case, those avatars could perform to any song in the game's playlist. Sting, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Ozzy Osbourne and a boatload of others could be set up to play to songs that they had no creative hand in. None of these stars, living or dead, had complaints.

Now, two years later, we have two cases - No Doubt/Band Hero and the Kurt Cobain/Guitar Hero 5 controversy - proving these artists (or the executors of their estates) just aren't paying attention to the way these games work. If No Doubt had picked up any of the five avatar-enabled Guitar Hero games that predated Band Hero, they'd know that their own avatars would be manipulated as they are in the game and could either seek alternate negotiations for their appearances or opt out altogether.

This detail seems to be overlooked by everyone who's reported on the alleged controversy and I just thought I'd share what I (and, I'm sure, a host of fellow Guitar Hero players) know about the games - and, thus, why No Doubt doesn't seem to have a leg to stand on here.”

“I'm sure she needs the money.”

“I don't think they did, not that they're above it. Just why would one Disney network pay someone to help bury another Disney network? They probably figured that she'd do an interview at some point, so why not bite the bullet and have her on GMA.”

“Hey, I'm with ya there too. But if you're referring to the "new albums" section, I just do that as a courtesy to let people know what's out (new and reissues), I'm only endorsing the stuff I review, and even some of those are with exceptions that I usually bring up. And the greatest hits I recommended are some of the more interesting ones.”

“Paw1, I think you're right, but concert costs, in general, are kind of ridiculous. The problem is the cost of putting on "event" concerts, the staging costs of those being obnoxious and then passed on to the fans. Sometimes it seems that even the acts themselves are a bit oblivious to those expenses, leaving such concepts with their business managers, etc. Over the years, Bon Jovi hasn't really struck me as a band that pillages its fans for the dough, I think Jon really does believe what he's singing about and saying.”

“You do have a point Paw1, absolutely, ticket prices across the board seem to still be ridiculous. Less expensive spectacle and more music, right?”

“But you see GaGa can actually perform, actually SING...you are judging by a cover and that is not fair.”

“You're right. It's actually a shame because Winehouse is extremely talented. However, she will probably never see success again because of the way she has trashed her life. GaGa, while not an amazing musician, is more talented than Britney so I say she takes advantage. If GaGa is successful long term, like Madonna, I wouldn't be surprised/upset.”
