I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
A mighty big hit for the Beatles, it went to #1 on both sides of the Atlantic. It spent a record number of weeks on top of America's Billboard, a record that was equaled by "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. A classic.
1. When I was in military recruit training ("boot camp") I was assigned to Junior Officer Of the Deck (JOOD) watchstanding security duty. I wore a yellow armband on my left shirt sleeve that said "JOOD". Every hour I'd tour the building to ensure that all was "secure". I entered my company's barrack room and one of my fellow company mates was standing next to a bunk singing "Hey JOOD. Don't be afraid. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember...". When I got to a compartment on the third floor a recruit shouted, "Hey look, fellas! It's the JOOD!" The whole company broke into singing "Hey Jude" (Hey JOOD, get it?). When I was back on the Quarterdeck on the first floor, you could hear the singing continuing on: ... bettah, bettah, bettah, bettah, bettah, bettah, yeaaaaah! Da da da da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, hey, Jude!...". Recruit training isn't much fun for anyone, but this was pretty amusing.
2. I saw Sir Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live on TV perform "Hey Jude". People in the audience screamed their heads off. One time when Paul was singing the vocals for this song in the studio (or maybe during a Beatles TV performance) he screamed so intensely he passed out. He didn't konk out when performing on SNL that night.

Get the REO Speedwagonmug. a person who will do ANYTHING for personal pleasure or gain. This person uses people with sob stories and fibs and worms and weedles the way to his/her goal BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY (no diss to Malcolm Shabazz). Such people are also called brownnosers, bootlickers and asskissers.
Every day at the start of the shift Greg went to Mr. Goremann's office for a special "pumping up" chat session. The rest of us working "trash" would watch this drama enact itself day after day. We'd say, "Looka this. Greg is such a cocksucker!". One day Greg got promoted to head chief of the plant crew. 6 months later he hung himself in a storeroom with a note saying that he lost his soul and couldn't handle the new responsibilities.

Get the cocksuckermug. A controversial woman in the world of rock in the late 20th century to today. A washed-out bleach blonde who had her day yet still has to be in the limelight just to let you know she's here. She was married to Kurt Cobain of grunge superstars Nirvana and after he committed suicide on April 8, 1994 and Nirvana imploded, she read his suicide note tearfully in public, calling him an 'asshole'. Then shortly thereafter, she laid Percy Farrel of Porno for Pyros AND Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and backtalked about how bad in bed they were. Before she met and married Kurt, she worked as a stripper and even gave head to Ted Nugent when she was a preteen. She has a very long and dirty past, and this starfucker reputation has made her a target of bad media attention. Still, she put it on herself.
She gets blamed by some for Kurt's death but I don't think she did it. She fronted the band Hole, which was so-so at best, playing guitar and (ahem) singing? Then she went solo and got into legal issues with the Nirvana survivors. To this day she riles up concertgoers at her shows to chant 'The Foo Fighters are FAAAAGGGGSSSS!' which shows her gross lack of class and extreme immaturity. Always looking for attention, she even got up on Dave Letterman's desk and revealed her tits to him on TV. A total no class whore.

1. Courtney Love is the Yoko Ono of alternative rock. Yoko got blamed for the Beatles' breakup and John's death, but the others deny it. After all, she worked with them to compile and finally release the Beatles Anthology project which came out in 1995. Still, the rumors and conspiracy talk go on...
2. Courtney Love may have inspired other women to pick up a guitar, which is cool. But God knows there are SERIOUS female rock'n'rollers who DON'T play the 'sexual image/dumb bitch' bullshit (Go-Go's, Bangles, L7, Heart, Plasticines, Shonen Knife, etc.) that have talent and praise who need to be recognized. And Courtney Love with her stupid antics gives ALL these lady rockers a very ugly name. Disgraceful.
3. The pioneering Go-Go's are now in the Hall of Fame, and so are Heart and Joan Jett, women rockers. Shonen Knife is getting quite an audience now after paying their dues since 1981. Others like Julianne Hatfield and Sheryl Crow also keep their lives private and don't push this sexual angle, they let their music do the talking. That's why these female rockers are still around and Courtney Love is a used-up has-been starfucker broad that nobody really wants to have or be with. She's history.

Get the Courtney Lovemug. really strange, maybe a little crazy. Also, it's the title of a hit album by superstar Michael Jackson.
Me, Rich and Bill agree that one of the things that make the band Talking Heads so cool is that they are so off the wall.

Get the off the wallmug. a racist term that denotes that something is completely haywire. When one says that something is as "hosed up like a Chinese fire drill" it means that there is a massive confusion going on. The complexities and complications of the Chinese language is probably a factor in the use of this term. Still, it's a racist term to use because it implies that Chinese people don't have their shit together. Besides, if you were to see a REAL fire drill in China it probably would be just as orderly as one held in the West, even with the Chinese language being as difficult as it is. Sometimes the term "Polish fire drill" is used to mean the same thing.
Billy is 16 and taking driver's ed. He pumped the accelerator too forcefully. He killed the engine and needs to wait a minute or two, then start it up again. Sitting next to him is the driving instructor Gerald. Gerald tells Billy that he's got it all fucked up like a Chinese fire drill.
