Awesome, awesome band. What a damned shame. Josh Homme is like, Yoko as far as I'm concerned.

Well, after reading up on The Distillers and seeing all the conflict with past members it doesn't surprise me at all that that happened.  I always get a huge kick out of the apparent dychotomy of how these feel-good lefty musicians that seem to protest war/hatred/venom/anger and they can't even get along with 2 or 3 other people in their own band, usually ending up in a bitter fight ala Roger Waters vs. Pink Floyd et. al. But, that is what happens when you are driven by emotions solely, and what good artist isn't?  Love the music, ignore the the off-stage antics.  But yes, as you said, a very good band.

No dude, I didn't say The Distillers specifically now did I?  I was speaking IN GENERAL.  How many righty/conservative bands you know?  Just a handful.

I think he's talking about new AXE "Snake Peel" body wash. It's suppossed to wash away the shame of having sex with a skank.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Okay, then that was one of the most muddled non sequiturs that I've ever seen:

I'm not sure what compelled you to bring left/right politics into the mix when talking about the Distillers... certainly they don't go there. They don't even touch politics. But hey, whatever.

RPM seems to have a good angle on it.

I've been seeing them on Adult Swim a bit.

Ok, first, Nash if I hit a nerve, I am so very...nah nevermind.

It was directed at bands in general who are more often than not are liberal in the political views.  All I was trying to illustrate is that after reading the history of The Distillers I noticed that there were a handful of members that are no longer associtated with the band and are no longer talking to them.  That got me thinking about how many bands have been in this situation and of THOSE bands how many aspoused "Peace, love, and an extra hit of smack, yo!" but couldn't even get along with the singer/drummer/keyboardists/cowbell player due to whatever lame reason.  If my grammar was such that you didn't understand it and you interpret it as a non-sequitur (Jim Morrison would be turning in his grave to call it that) I'd suggest re-reading an entry before posting a reply.  


Now, about the Axe thing.  It's actually good stuff.  The Snakepeel is a good, cheap exfoliant that works.  If I don't use exfoliant ingrown hairs on my face appear.  Hate the fact that I HAVE to use it but it's cheap and it works.
