Fuck poetry ...

[Matt Snyder]

To all you hippie haters:  When I say you are ANY of the people on the lists above, it's as close as you'll get to worship at my house. Equating Jimi Hendrix with "dirty hippies" is sorta like going over to GreatWolf's house and telling him Jesus was a jerk.

Raven, have it your way, ya' jazz freak. You are now Ginger Baker. (That's SERIOUSLY high praise at my house.)

[Matt Wilson]

Why the fuck do I got to die too fat and too young Snyder?  Answer me that.  By that estimation I got like 3 and half years or some shit.  You bastard.

At least you didn't get David fucking Crosby. Puh-lease. What, Matt, are you looking through your parents' old records or what?

Is there anyone on your list who doesn't have a penis? I claim myself to be Aimee Mann.

[John Harper]

God DAMN you, Wilson. You beat me to it. But that's okay.

I am Tom Waits.

I win, you fuckers.

[Jared A. Sorensen]

For the non-hippies. ;)

Ron Edwards = Greg Ginn
Jared Sorensen = Glenn Danzig
Vincent Baker = Milo Aukerman
Clinton R. Nixon = H.R.
Matt Wilson = Mike Patton
Keith Senkowski = Henry Rollins
Matt Snyder = Buzz Osborne
Luke Crane = Ian MacKaye
Paul Czege = Jello Biafra
Ralph Mazza = Bob Mould
Mike Holmes = Grant Hart

Glenn WISHES he was me. ie: taller than most of his female fans. ZING!

Jesus H. Chrysler...first I get called John Lennon, then Danzig. I guess you guys are still a bit steamed.

[Gordon C. Landis]

Diving in, I'll just go and pick myself - Ray Davies.  Been gone a while, and never much of a solo act.  But hoping for a bit of a comeback in my old age.

Right on.

So Matt...who gets to Burn in a Ring of Fire...?

[Matt Snyder]

Ralph, as Zappa once sang on a live album:

"The price of meat has just gone up, and your Ring of Fire has just gone down."

Veggies. BAH.

[Thor Olavsrud]

Zappa's cover of Ring of Fire on The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life was out of this world. Also worth mention is Cash's live duet with Dylan in '69. And Social Distortion's cover, of course, to bring it back to the punk. :)

[Keith Senkowski]

Thor,

Henry fuck'n Rollins baby!  You have just stayed your exection bitch!

[Alex F]

Ron always struck me as the gaming embodiment of modern punk legend Damien Moyal. Every time I hear "Spinning our wheels, running in place/ If we take no chance, we can make no mistake / But how fucking cowardly" ("More Than Just Music, It's A Hairstyle") it's not just punkers I imagine getting defensive...

[Joshua A.C. Newman]

Joshua Neuman = David Bowie

Holy fuck, that's the nicest thing anyone's said about me.

Er, assuming that's me...

[Mike Holmes]

Thor,

Though not a fan, I accept your apparent analysis that Universalis = Husker Du.

But goddamit, I wanted to be Ozzy: has played forever, and always will, rambles on a lot, sometimes incoherently, oblivious to what others think about him, constanly makes a fool out of himself, but people still listen to him for some reason...

To avoid his ire, I'll not call Jason Blair = Vanilla Ice. But he's not eminem either? I guess we can call him Public Enemy.

Corollaries:
IF Vincent = Dylan AND Em = Baez, THEN Meg = Suze Rotolo?
IF Gygax = Bill Haley (and, yeah, Arneson is the comets then - undercredited for the real work), THEN Charles S. Roberts = Les Paul (Rickenbacker is HG Wells)
IF Paul = Zappa, THEN Knipe = Adrian Belew, AND Matt Gwinn = Steve Vai
IF Wicked Dead = Beatles, THEN Annie = George Harrison?
IF Wilson = Crosby AND Snyder = Young, THEN Tim Kelinert = Stills, AND Jonathan Walton = Nash
IF Universalis = Husker Du, THEN FATE = REM

Mike

[Matt Snyder]

Joshua Neuman = David Bowie

Holy fuck, that's the nicest thing anyone's said about me.

Er, assuming that's me...

Yeah, it's you. I KNEW I'd screw up that spelling. I had it both ways (Here and the correct version) twice. No shit!

[Matt Snyder]

IF Wicked Dead = Beatles, THEN Annie = George Harrison?
IF Wilson = Crosby AND Snyder = Young, THEN Tim Kelinert = Stills, AND Jonathan Walton = Nash

Mike

FINALLY! Somebody gets it! Rock on, Holmes.

P.S. Harrison? Sure, but no Yoko? ;)
