Tragedy

John Frusciante has left the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It is a sad day for music. Maybe a Chili Peppers record is not on the way after all. Either way, we are just one step closer to "one hot minute" and one giant leap away from "blood sugar sex magik"...again.

To even further depress an already dead and decaying day, Billboard announced today that the All-American Rejects claimed the "Most Played Song of 2009" with their single "Gives You Hell." Honestly, it is a relief to have that spot possessed by them and not some other degenerate like Rihanna or...gulp....Lady Gaga (I just puked in my mouth a whole lot). But it is still saddening that a group/person that deserves it musically is not sitting in that place. I will not place my opinion of who should reside there for (1) there are too many, and (2) I could not choose between them. I'm sure though that is is safe to say none of my choices even came close to the top 10.

On a closing note, the footage was released of Axl Rose punching yet another paparazzi member. Thanks for denying it Rose, with your track record, none of us believed it anyways. But seriously, as much as I hate Axl, he's doing what everyone wishes they could (and get away with it). What person in fame DOESN't want to rail one of those guys in the jaw. I mean, Axl has been know to dive off stage and punch guys in the front row with cameras. Oh well.

Come back Frusciante, and if you do not, may the Peppers rest in peace.
