My brain is a little fried this morning - this weekend, approximately 1/16th of the entire world's beer supply was poured into my belly. Completely against my will, mind you. I take zero responsibility for my actions, especially my controversial late night jukebox selections at the pub. But if you can't enjoy "Rich Girl" by Hall and Oates in your drunken state, why do you drink at all? Clearly there's no joy in it for you, sir.
Speaking of controversial music taste, I only watched a bit of the MTV Video Music Awards because I'm old now and I was busy reading my leatherbound Andy Rooney transcripts. But was it me or did Kelly Clarkson knock that shit out of the park? Damn. That was a serious rocking performance. Completely caught me off guard.
On a bit of a tangent, why is it that when I hear black people talk about God (as Destiny's Child did on the show last night), I don't get that same feeling of dread that I do when white people break out the G-word? When Puff "Puffy 'P. [Diddy]'Daddy" wears a "God is the Greatest" shirt, I find it genuinely charming. If the same shirt were on, say, Toby Keith, I'd get that serious "uh oh" twinge in the pit of my stomach. That feeling that some shit was about to go down. Historically speaking, God + white people = generally a not-that-good result for non-white, non-God people. White people - we ruin everything.
And did you notice that black people walk like this and white people walk like this? Aw snap!

I'm not ashamed to admit that I dig that Kelly Clarkson tune. But I was not a fan of her decision to bump verse two up an octave and scream the entire second half of it.
But then they poured water all over her and all was right in the world.
I love me some KCla. No shame.
If people are calling her KCla I'm definitely ashamed.
No, it was just a little joke stolen from the hilarious bitches over at Go
Fug Yourself
she looked pretty, and i saw 17.4 seconds of her performance, and was half impressed and half confused at why it was raining inside.
i love the newer cd, and am pleased with her progression into better music.
on an unrelated note:
i would like to publicly express my now decade or so long hatred for gwen stefani. she just gets worse, and worse.
To return to your opening comment, I might be able to respond if you could explain just what a jukebox block of 'Sk8ter Boy'/'Rich Girl'/'Rio'/'Freedom '90' has to do with alcohol. Any ideas? Cuz I'm at a loss here. It was like some weird collision of fifteen-year old girl and forty-five year old homosexual.
All excellent songs, Mr. "I Only Put Depressing Brit Pop and Obscure Downbeat 60's Soul On the Jukebox So I Can Quietly Weep In My Beer."
no need for booze to enjoy "rich girl"
absolutely none.
