OT: Detroit doesn't like Nickelback

[Automattic]

I signed the petition. I'm watching the game because I really hope they get booed and have trash thrown at them. I don't really know why exactly I hate them. Maybe it's because Pearl Jam was sort of a weakish poppy grunge band, who I kind of like and listened to some of their music, and then Eddie Vedder once stopped by a Waffle House and after three hours of unlimited sausage he shit out Creed. Creed was derivative as hell, and they were bland and mumbly and wished they were Pearl Jam, but they didn't have nearly the talent or creativity. Then one day Creed got raped by Michael Bolton, a douchebag living in a trailer park, and a Holstein with strep throat. The stain left on the sheet went on to become the most bland, uninspired, pre-manufactured garbage to hit the radio since Milli Vanilli, and not only did they take over the airwaves but they spawned a dozen trashy soundalikes, all of whom write shitty songs about how tough they are, how bad ass they are, but how they can be a little sincere and just hang out around a campfire. It's the Applebees fettuccini alfredo of music, it's "Dogs Playing Poker", it's music that a record executive already chewed up and is spitting out "baby bird" style. It is the opposite of anything with soul, or passion. It's like taking roofies and making love to a corpse. It's cold, it's dead, it's just fucking awful and I almost put my car into a ditch and sprain my wrist in a blind panic trying to change the station every time they come on the radio.

Rep.....I was almost waiting for a "to be coninued..." though...

Hey Eloco, I would like to pre-nominate this as Post Of The Year. It actually almost got me to spray Dr. Pepper out of my nose. Now all I can smell is the delicious 24 flavors (the original 23 plus the secret ingredient - diabetes).

You want a "to be continued"?

Nickleback is trash. One time I took some really strong acid and I actually saw sounds and heard colors. Someone threw on the new Outkast CD and I watched as bright and vibrant colors poured through the air. It was like a rainbow running through the jungle, I was completely at peace with the world and it had to have been how Adam and Eve felt in the Garden of Eden. My mind is too feeble to attempt acid again, but I imagine that if I did and I listened to Nickleback, I would see a cornfield with a cloudy sky above it. Wait, scratch that. I actually kind of like the sight of cut corn in the fall. I would probably see the empty parking lot outside the old abandoned grocery store, right in the middle of a prefabricated housing post war Levittown. No cool graffiti and hookers like in the city, no carefully manicured landscaping like in a newer suburb. Just old asphalt and a chain link fence. Some music inspires me to go on a road trip, some music makes me sad and depressed, but very introspective. Nickelback inspires me to drive a forklift at the Indiana Jones warehouse where they keep the Holy Grail for 12 hours, staring at cardboard boxes, only to go home and drink a six pack of Busch Light and pass out watching a test signal. There are a lot of bands out there that I hate, but I can at least hear some sort of passion in the music. I fucking hate newer U2, but Bono at least sounds like he's enjoying the music. It at least feels like a few guys got together and poured their hearts out to make music that is somewhat personal to them. I don't really like it, but I can acknowledge a great amount of skill, brilliant creativity, and passion was used in crafting the music. I bet Nickelback writes their songs while doing the crossword puzzle and taking a shit in the morning.

That's a pretty good weekend for Nickelback getting a Thanksgiving Day NFL game followed by the Grey Cup at BC Place three days later.

In past Thanksgiving games in Detroit, that would be happening anyway.
