Twisted Sister’s MySpace
I always love when Jews do Christmas, but at least they had fun with it! That video is so cool, don’t you think? The only negative thing I can say about it…is the song gets stuck in your head!
Billy Idol’s MySpace
Who replaced Billy Idol with that Stepford bot? I mean it is one thing when you see Clay Aiken do it, but to see Billy Idol do it is just wrong and weird. I mean he sounds great and I want to buy Happy Holidays, but it just freaks me out.
At least he still does that thing with his lip!!!
If you’re searching for signs of the Apocalypse and presume that it’s nigh, look no further than this: Billy Idol — Billy Idol! — cutting his very own Christmas album. And I swear this is genuine and not a joke (at least not in the conventional sense). Don’t believe me? Just looky here. Or here. Just don’t stare too long at that CD cover or it could well cause a seizure. The cheeseball shot — which evidently is meant to be serious rather than ironic — is pretty much guaranteed to get you all kinds of creeped out, with Billy sitting at a piano looking disturbingly like the lounge lizard love child of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Robert Goulet. Oh my f—ing God, you say? Well, the bleached spiky-haired, sneering, "Rebel Yell" hellraiser of yore is 50 now (51 on Nov. 30). He’s got an 18-year-old son. It was perhaps inevitable that William Michael Albert Broad would mellow into the mainstream. But not this main. Middle-aged is one thing, middle-of-the-road quite another when your past is all sex, drugs, motorcycles and rock ‘n’ roll. I mean, Billy Idol singing…"Silver Bells"? And "Frosty the Snowman"? And "Here Comes Santa Claus"? And "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"? And "White Christmas"? And "Let It Snow"? And "Silent Friggin’ Night"? (The Friggin’ is my addition.)
I just do not know what to say to that, what can you say to that? In the meantime while I try to get my composure back, listen to a song from the album on Billy Idol’s MySpace page.
Now that I have my composure back…I came up with some song titles for the album:
1 – Rebel Yule 2 – (Rockin’ the) Christmas of Love 3 – Dancing with Myself (under the mistletoe) 4 – Gifts for Fantasy 5 – Cold in the City 6 – White Christmas 7 – Money Money
The man behind three of the greatest films of all time (for moviegoers of at least two generations), George Lucas will be the grand marshall for this year’s Rose Parade, the 118th annual parade. The announcement was made in Pasadena, Tuesday, where Lucas arrived to the soaring strains of Star Wars theme music. at the parade and Rose Bowl headquarters to accept the honor Tuesday. On hand to greet him were Star Wars characters such as a roaring Chewbacca and a diminutive Ewok. ‘’It’s always had a very special place in my heart and now it’s an amazing thought that I’m going to be riding that funny old car at the very end of the parade,’’ the 62-year-old director said. The theme for the parade is ‘’Our Good Nature.’’
Heavy metal rockers TWISTED SISTER are celebrating their 30th anniversary by releasing a collection of deranged holiday songs. The band is so intent on finishing their album in time for the Christmas season, they have cancelled all performances at European festivals this summer (06). The new album, A TWISTED CHRISTMAS, will feature a heavy metal take on holiday classics including DECK THE HALLS and O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL. The album is scheduled for release on 17 October (06).
