a friend forwarded me this link to a piece on the ten most hated men in rock and the most interesting thing about it to me is that the dubious selection process included "a secret eleven-man panel." can you believe bush-era tainted ballots and backroom business has even infected the once venerable and transparent world of hating on celebrities? the unsurprising rockist bullshit is compounded with the usual homosensual anxiety read as anti-Goo Goo Dolls and Elton John (men with streaked hair as obvious target) and anti-schlock as opposed to real evil-doers in the male pantheon - Toby Keith, Mark E. Smith (hey, you can hate him and still love the music), or, I don't know, R. Kelly. Oh wait, it's ROCK that we're talking about, so including people like Phil Collins wouldn't be justified (oh wait! he's there).
Speaking of which - where the hell is J. Timberlake these days?
Off to Providence this weekend. Will report to you on Monday.
