minijonb remarked that I had put the chorus of Warrant’s “Cherry Pie” in his head, possibly for 48 hours.
Hey, I’m no supporter of cruel and unusual punishment.

So, MizSplotchy and I are flipping channels a month or so ago, ’cause there’s nothing on the TV.
We come across a VH1 documentary series on heavy metal, Heavy: The Story Of Metal — the chapter we saw was focusing a lot on the hair metal bands of the 80’s.
We didn’t know what we had lucked into. There was a rant by Warrant’s lead singer Jani Lane about the misery rained down on him from writing the song “Cherry Pie”, which was one of the funniest things I have seen in recent memory.
MizSplotchy was wandering the Internets today and found the Jani Lane clip from the show, so I can now present it to you in all its glory.

I saw this a while back and had intended on posting it on May 19th for Joey Ramone’s birthday. I hope he won’t mind me being a day late.
From May 19, 1998, Joey’s birthday party at Coney Island High.
Jonathan Richman starts out with “Roadrunner” and ends with “Happy Birthday”.

McAwesome has been doing just fine and dandy since I last reported on her, thank you very much for asking.
Per her various Gmail status messages, she’s had a hangover after a fun night of drinking, she’s been excited about an upcoming movie, she’s even been working on a script (“Can you believe it?!!” her status rhetorically asked).
So, you can imagine my surprise when I witnessed a stark status message today.
Looking on the bright side, at least her status doesn’t say “has incurable, explosive tropical brain fever”.
If nearing 200 documented instances of negative space signage wasn’t enough to convince you…
If haranguing anyone within blogshot to assist me in documenting negative space signage wasn’t enough to convince you…
If continuing to pursue a topic (negative space signage) that holds aesthetic pleasure for virtually no sentient creatures besides myself wasn’t enough to convince you…
I have published an interview with Lawrin Rosen, an expert in the field of halo-lit lighting (negative space signage).
Enjoy it (or don’t)!

People shared some of their own favorite TV music here, but this one wasn’t mentioned.
It’s AWESOME (and very loud in the clip — you have been warned, Lamont!).
