Trent Reznor doesn't think 'A Perfect Drug' is a top 100 Nine Inch Nails track. He doesn't hate the song but sees it as a rush job, didn't like the ending, and thought of it as a rush job. He went over 20 years before performing it live.

Dang, I need to proofread my posts more.

In terms of Nirvana, IIRC they thought 'In Bloom' was going to be their big hit.

Wonderwall is the only bad song on 'Whats the Story (Morning Glory)' imo.

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders was opposed to releasing "Brass in Pocket" as a single. "This goes out over my dead body", she told album producer Chris Thomas, only to be overruled and then had to watch, appalled, as it went to No.1 in 1980.

She said "I never thought it was that great. Was it pop? Motown? Rock? It didn't seem to know what it was."
"I used to cringe when I heard my voice on those early Pretenders recordings, and then that fucker went to #1."
"I remember walking around Oxford Circus hearing it blasting out of people's radios and I was mortified."

That dumb twat opened an all vegan restaurant in her (and my) hometown of Akron, Ohio. Can't even imagine how much money that shitbox lost until they shuttered it.

Meh..maybe it'll bounce back.

:heh:


That being said, she may have been better served had she opened one in a more enlightened city or town in Ohio.

*Are there even any?

J/K...there has to be at least 1 or 2, amirite?

Nah, I don't think there's a city in Ohio that would support a 100% vegan restaurant. Unlike San Fran, all the men here have penises.

"Interesting" reply.

That all you got?

On that subject? Yes. Vegan restaurants are retarded. Hell, even vegetarian restaurants have autism.

Anyway, I've been meaning to ask if you were any better at counting down to MLB opening day this year? I know that was particularly difficult for you last season, and I was rooting for you this year. How'd it go?

I'm sorry, were you under the impression that I thought retarded restaurants do not exist?

We're on the subject because I acknowledged that one existed.

If there ever was a place for one, it would be on the shores of Lake Erie.

Simple Minds initially didn't want to record the theme song from The Breakfast Club but had a change of heart after their manager kept insisting it would be good for their careers.
