hat act

a term used by critics to describe the bland, generic, formulaic, assembly line, manufactured male country music performers that have dominated country radio for at least the past 10 years. They are notorious for their 30-gallon hats. It's a real challenge to tell these performers and their songs apart.
Keith Urban and Eddie Rabbitt are not hat acts. They'll be remembered 20 years from now.

brown sugar

1. a brown powdery confection you put on your oatmeal.

2. Mexican heroin

3. a black woman

4. a hit song for the Rolling Stones, a highlight of their shows.
1. when I saw a brown sugar company use that Rolling Stones tune of that name for its TV ad I laughed my ass off.

2. Billy shoots up on that brown sugar every morning.

3. in the Sunday paper I saw a Target ad and rock'n'roll T-shirts were on sale that week. Several models posed in different band shirts and believe it or not, there was a "brown sugar" wearing a Rolling Stones T-shirt. Black woman - Brown sugar - Rolling Stones - Get it?

4. the Rolling Stones concluded their concert with "Brown Sugar". That song was controversial when it came out but now (in 1997) college students were huddled into circles and the tune was simply one big campy happy sing-a-long.

Love Removal Machine

this is open to interpretation. It's the title of a 1987 hit by the band the Cult. My guess is that the singer is referring to his girlfriend. This is funny: we all know that people want to give love. And get it. But remove it? What the hell is going on here? The lyrics to this song are incredibly dumb. Still, I like this song a lot. It's so stupid it's cool. You can't help but like it. It's just one of those things. It's stupid fun ;)
When I walked out of the El Dorado casino and out to the Reno Strip I heard a radio blasting from a passing car. The song was Love Removal Machine by the Cult.

American Asshole

A new appellation for Donald Trump, the worst and rottenest traitor of all time. He embarrassed the USA to tremendous beyond repair by his actions, thoughts reflected in his hateful boorish juvenile blubbering talk, and his ego larger than the planet Jupiter (over 1500 times larger than planet Earth!). He is a racist, rapist, usurper, fascist, and many other evil things. He has no credentials, no soul and not a single respectable or honorable trait, aspect or a bit of character at all.
Donnie Douchebag has given himself many titles and poses with immense pompous pretention and an ugly personality cult. He has called himself 'Individual One', 'the Donald', and the 'Chosen One'. That last self-imposed title along with his hateful bloated actions makes him by every definition of the word an ANTICHRIST. He is a Caligula by every definition but to the entire world, he is the American Asshole. Thing is, he is a sputnik and a lap bitch to Vladimir Putin, even now.

proto-punk

a hard-to-classify group of bands and performers who laid the foundation for and inspired punk rock's development in the mid-1970s. These acts sported tough guy looks, rebellious attitudes, the longest hair in the neighborhood, sometimes simple 3-chord arrangements and/or feedback and garage band aesthetics. Some of these acts were called "punk rock" by critics in the late 60s and early 70s. That label later was applied to later bands of the mid-70s, starting with the Ramones. Elvis Presley may be the original "proto-punk" rocker. He wore denim and leather, wore his hair long for the 50s, swiveled his hips provacatively, rode motorcycles, sneered when he sang, and more. The term "proto-punk" wasn't used until after punk itself came into its own.
Here are some examples of proto-punk acts:
The Kinks
The Who
Velvet Underground
The Stooges
The MC5
? and the Mysterians
The Seeds
New York Dolls
Roxy Music
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Rolling Stones
... and many more.
