nikelback...who else?

This is my first post on my blogsite so it needed to be special. My wife and stepdaugther set it up for me because I needed somewhere to rant about stuff that pisses me off. So, where do I start? Tim horton's drive thruers? Racial profiling mayors? Marathoners that block off my street on a Saturday morning and try to prevent me from having a life? Gambling degenerates that save up 5 months of lotto tickets and then get them all checked when I try to buy the newspaper?
There is a whole plethora of stuff to vent about....but the obvious first choice is Nikelback.
Nikelback.....even the way it is spelled pisses me off. "let's leave out the c so it gives our band a harder edge. Yeah! That's cool! Let's SO do it." When I hear the Jesus Christ wannabe sing, I need to go to the bathroom and snort some dristan nasal mist. His nasal passage is so blocked with phlegm, his lyrics are almost discernible. (which is a good thing because most of their songs are just a senseless listing of cliches. Most of today's song writers need google to apply their trade....especially western Canadian redneck rock bands) And the best part about the "best Canada has to offer" is that they have now turned country. Just like their shitty idols, Bon Jovi. But what i should keep in mind is that you can really find and appreciate good music by all the shit that surrounds it. The Cult really stood out as a great 80's band because they were in the company of Journey. Pearl Jam were great in the 90's because they had to rub elbows with Matchbox 20. And Nikleback licked the dogshit off the White Stripes shoes for the past decade. Thanks Nikleback, you did serve a purpose afterall.....can't figure out the purpose of your fans though.
