ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
Tony Alva started an off-line e-mail discussion about the horribleness of the induction process for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently. No offense meant toward Tony, but I've grown weary of that conversation. Simply put, until Kiss and Alice Cooper get their due, I just don't give a crap.
But the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is more than a recognition of musical acts, it's a museum as well, with Rock oriented exhibits. Sure they got Jimi's Strat, and Ziggy's duds, but what they need is something a little more visceral. Something that truly evokes the essence of Rock.....
.......like the toilet in the men's room at CBGB. I wonder what happened to that monument. I hope somebody saved it. It belongs enshrined at the Hall of Fame.
What's the difference between the men's room john at CBGB and a two dollar hooker?
In a pinch you can shit on the hooker.

I think it's awesome how the meaning of The Drunken Fool's comment hinges so critically on whether or not one or two "o"s were intended.
