Kurt’s Blog: Sometimes My Favorite Artists Just Make it Hard to Explain Them
Posted on by in Kurt's Blog

Alright…I get grief about this from my friends a bunch….but I’m a big Avril Lavigne fan. She’s a wanna-be punk? I don’t care. Some think she’s not pretty…I totally disagree. She marries Chad Kroeger of Nickelback? Didn’t phase me. Everything Avril does, I support….totally fine with it.

Then her video for her new single “Hello Kitty” came out…

Umm…I’m as baffled as everyone else. No idea what this is. It was my least favorite song on her new album…but the video? Yikes. I need to hit up some “Sk8er Boi” to get this out of my head. I have no words….it only gives ammunition to all my friends who will forward me this video and say “Remember, Kurt, you are on record…you like this”.

Take that 2048…

Carolina trails Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final and has a big decision to make for Game 4

A sequence of events in a Stanley Cup Final that has gotten crazier by the minute has put the Carolina Hurricanes at a crossroads. They blew a two-goal lead and lost Game 1, erased a two-goal deficit and won Game 2, and rallied from down four goals in Game 3, only to lose in double overtime on a fluky bounce.
