Kurt’s Blog: A Marriage We Don’t Want To See Happen…and NIN!

Is anyone wanting to see Chris Brown & Rihanna tie the knot? That’s the rumor going around. Apparently, Chris proposed to her after the Grammys, and they might get hitched this summer.

Yuck. As Ken pointed out this morning? Proposed to her after the Grammys? After what happened a few years prior at the Grammys? That is such poor taste.

Of course, when I thought the story couldn’t get worse….I see what they want to have at their reception, and it just reeks (is that how you spell it? I have never written that word before) of being a POSER. “Bling and sing. They want tattoo artists, fire breathers, and a near-naked waitstaff. They’re even talking about having pre-rolled joints at the reception.”

Most unlikeable couple ever? I’ll vote Chris Brown & Rihanna…Kim & Kanye…enjoy your silver medal for now.

Justin Bieber Is Becoming Michael Jackson

He’s on his way…and 5-6 years from now, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had is own “Bieberland” with amusement park rides in front of his house.

Remember when MJ was wearing all those crazy “disguises”…like big, black beards…and then weird, glittery masks for awhile. Now, the Biebs is doing the same thing. Apparently, he showed up shopping while wearing one of those big, black gas masks. He’s quickly losign touch with reality.

Oh, another tattoo for the Biebs. This time it’s the Greek letter “Chi”…which is just an “X”. Congrats on that one. I’m going to think it means 10. (Note: in 1996, using a paper clip, hydrogen peroxide, and a napkin…I tried to carve “Theta Chi” (which is OX) on my leg. Look at me giving my blood for my fraternity….and I’m very happy that it healed over within the month. Yikes. His “X” won’t.

 

Nine Inch Nails

Okay, I sense that this Blog post has been somewhat negative this morning. I apologize….I think it’s because I shoveled twice yesterday and my neck hurts, which makes me cranky apparently.

However, this makes me happy…Nine Inch Nails is getting back together (well sort of, Trent Reznor is getting a new NIN together)…but most importantly, they are going to tour. AWESOME! I’ve never seen Nine Inch Nails before, and thought my opportunity had passed. Perhaps not!

“Pretty Hate Machine” was…and still is…one of my favorite albums of all-time. Oh, and I think “Closer” is a song that has worn out it’s welcome. Once it got started playing at the bars all the time just because we liked yelling out “…..like an animal”…it got worn out.

That being said…
