As long as he isn't begging for people to vote for an established artist that should be getting by on her own merit by now, I'm fine with it.

Someone didn't get the message that the audience is done voting for shit.

[stumpy]

Ya know... I'd vote if I did that sort of thing, but I don't even vote for shit I believe in. I certainly won't text vote and the online shit is to drum up traffic - and it doesn't mean shit. It's a shallow attempt at giving the viewer the impression they make a difference. Isn't that what goes nowadays? Everyone wants to feel special? Get a trophy just for participating?

FUCK OFF

I've been saying for a while, radio listeners are getting too god damn self aggrandizing and feel like they need a pat on the back. People still think they're somewhat special for paying for the show even if it's freely available. It's something more and more common with satellite radio subs heavily into any show to be honest. People need to realize it's just entertainment, now 5/6 of which is freely available. So people need not get so worked up.

And besides that, this song is a classic.

[Chob]

Shit, I used to nitpick the show quite a bit, and I still do on occasion. I've tried to get better about it, and found just taking any show lightly and not picking it apart means you enjoy it a lot more.

KISS fuckin rocked!!! Fuck them!! KISS fans are a little older Brent...not younger!!

[Chob]

I saw KISS live. They put on a good show, I'll give them that.

[milkman]

I seen em live a bunch!! I may sound gay, but I like the song Beth!!

[Chob]

Beth is a kick ass power ballad. Yeah I said it. What are you gonna do about it?

[milkman]

I'm gonna agree!!! That's what I'm gonna do!!!

And Peter Criss was one bad ass drummer!! God of Thunder!!! Where is GOT btw?? lol

[milkman]

I feel a Brent concert coming!! Maybe!!!
