Rock Stars Did Not Invent Burning Out.

In My Headphones, I Led A Life Of Romance And Incident And Intrigue, None Of Which Had Anything To Do With The World Outside My Walkman.

Monogamous Musicians Are Like Vegan Hockey Players.

When Ke$ha Tries To Rap Like L'trimm, She Sounds Like Any Ordinary Lonely Teenage Girl Stuck In A Nowhere Town, Singing Along To Her Radio And Dreaming Of A Party Where She's The Star. Ke$ha's Greatness Is That In Her Voice, You Can Hear Both The Loser Girl And The Star. All Hail The Queen Of Noi$e!

But Mtv Relishes Its Vestigial Role As A Star Maker, So Every Year It Puts All Its Clout Into Making The Vmas The Biggest, Splashiest, Loudest Show-biz Extravaganza Of The Year, Honoring All This Music For Existing, After A Year Of Paying Barely Any Attention To It.

Thank You For The Music, Sleater-kinney. This Gang Of Three Was The Best American Punk Rock Band Ever. Ever.
