I think Greg's response to Peggy Noonan is the best part. But really, before somebody said, "Hey, this punk rock guy is here to talk about his new book," do you think Scarborough had even heard of Bad Religion?

Deadline and payday. Sing it Jigga.
For the record, I'd trade my stack for his any day. Just saying.

In his greatest role yet, Gary Busey comes back as a cookie: "Eat me, you punk bitch!"
"The GingerDead Man" is not available yet on Netflix. However, "The GingerDead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust" can be rented. And it's about to be on my queue.
Krist Novoselic: "We sold out. Kill us." Maybe this is a clue that Kurt didn't commit suicide...
What a sloppy killer though, right?
This is a great interview. Nirvana was always right about the music industry (and especially MTV), but it's still kind of like a whore punching his pimp in the mouth. Apparently, Kurt was frustrated with MTV anyway.

Stephen Colbert made no more of a mockery of Congress than Congress has of itself. Except he was honest while doing it.
There are obviously jokes spread throughout, but the last two minutes of Colbert's statement are as straightforward an assessment of reality as any member of the House or the Senate has lied about giving in years.

The new song My Chemical Romance sounds like an insane Broadway show. Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more...
So we've now moved beyond Green Day's effect on popular music as the basis for all pop-punk bands to the Broadway show based on American Idiot as a basis for the new albums by already successful pop-punk bands.
I'm a Green Day fan. I appreciate why they signed to a major label - I was 12 at the time so they were a major doorway to punk. I appreciate that they've grown older and are writing about a broader range of stuff, at least because I've also grown older and understand where they're coming from on a lot of this stuff. Even if the Broadway show thing seems a little weird.
I just never expected MCR to go all Rocky Horror on us. Maybe I never paid enough attention to the band to have seen it coming. I guess this could have been a clue. But again, I really haven't been paying attention to them.
Regardless, the song is good. You've got to wonder if the entire album will sound as in your face as this does. Which could be interesting. (via AbsolutePunk.net)
