Don't worry about it.

^ It's interesting how people who are 'rebellious' in their professional life are ordinary decent people in their real life. Keith Flint of The Prodigy helped elderly residents in his street during the bad weather.

I remember reading about a lady who went to his house for an interview to be his cleaner, she was really nervous beforehand because of how she thought he would be - snarling & manic, a wee bit scary, like his stage persona - but turned out he was utterly nice and charming.

Alice Cooper is one of the true good guys in the rock music world. He's seen it all and survived the lifestyle of excess and found a balance point that's worked for him for a long time now. Golf is his passion and stress relief when he's not involved touring/recording with his band.

He also owns a couple of really good restaurants in Phoenix, can't remember the names but he was in an episode on the food channel with either Guy Fieri or that other bloke who does Man vs Food.

A semi-interesting tidbit about the Coop:

5-6 years ago my son and I went to a sports bar/eatery where he was going to be in order to promote his radio program (from Arizona), that was being picked up by a local affiliate.

So, after his intro, and a 20-30 minute Q & A session, (his favorite A.C. song, lyrically, is Generation Landslide, BTW), he went into a private room to have a bite to eat.

My son and I could see into the room, and I learned Alice Cooper puts exactly 2 shakes of salt on each bite of his hamburger before eating it.

How's that for semi-interesting? Hehehe.

Oh, and I took along 2 Coop album for autographing, just in case. I didn't think we'd get one, because we were so far back, but as it turns out, I happened to notice, while everyone in front of us were watching the door he went into, that directly behind me, 2 cats were setting up a table. Hehehe.

Coop came out behind everyone, and I was 2nd in line. My son took the photo of the Coop and myself. Way groovy.

I have that photo somewhere on a disc. If I could find the disc.

Nice one! Be sure to post the pic if you find the disc!

This douchebag!!!!

Chris Brown is not the first artist to do something despicable and he's not the first one to reboot his career afterward. Unlike some artist with allegations against them there's no question about whether Chris Brown did what he was accused of. There's pictures of Rihanna's beaten face and details of the altercation that would make one cringe. The difference is this ****tard has never really given any indication that he regrets what he did and has been as pompous and vindictive against his "haters" as he can often playing himself as a victim and trying to rub his renewed success in everyone's face. He's sorry that it happened (noooo shit Sherlock) but never came off like he did anything wrong other than get outed for it. He's even continued to allude to the situation in different song lyrics as well which is another arrogant ass move. His Grammy acceptance speech "HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate [BLEEP] OFF!" Also disappointing is Rihanna's acceptance of this whole thing. It's one thing to forgive and forget someone who's truly sorry (Reminder: He's not) but for Rihanna to be willing to wash away everything really doesn't give woman in similar situations much to aspire too.

Now musical talent is the only saving grace of a person we'd normally think is an asshole. I mean I think Kanye is an ass and all he does is run his mouth and say stupid things. I and a large legion of music listeners buy his music because in therealm of hip-hop he's an adventurous creative juggernaut and that cancels out his verbal diarrhea. Chris Brown has never been anything musically to me even starting with his Usher lite role with "Run It". Usher was a much better heir to the Micheal Jackson complete package (singing, dance and performing). You can tell Chris Brown wanted to be that but to me he just blended and faded with the other boring flavorless R&B upstarts at the time: Ne-yo, Omarion, etc. Since his comeback his music has been even more watered down and inexplicably popular. "Beautiful People" has to be the most lukewarm generic thing to ever hit a club. Chris Brown has a crazy fan base who drink his kool-aid and consist of mouthbreathers who even say that Rihanna lied about the beating or even that she deserved it.

Anyway, there's a saving grace! There's a website created just for spotlighting Chris Brown Twitter followers that troll him and his arrogant rants and remind him of what a douchebag he is! I've cracked up at so many of these and I think anyone who knows him and who he is can appreciate this:

Trolling Chris Brown

Yeah, I don't literally hate a lot of artist but I think I hate this one! ​

more info here: Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown’s cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I’m going to beat the sh– out of you when we get home! You wait and see!'

The detective said “Robyn F.” then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.' After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!'

Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.


Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of tehiche window onto an unknown street.


Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown’s body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.’s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.
