her Motown, you Motley Crue

basically, it's another reference to a May-December romance where the woman is quite a bit older than the man. This is also referred to a "Mrs. Robinson" love affair, because of the movie "The Graduate" where Dustin Hoffman's character falls in love with his girlfriend's mother.
The marriage of Demi and Ashton is a case of "her Motown, you Motley Crue".

Church of the Poison Mind

1. a Top 10 hit for Culture Club (featuring the notorious Boy George) during the fall of 1983.

2. any "church" or religion that dominates the member's lives: what they do, what they say and what they think. They become absolute droids or sheep. In other words, a cult.
1. Culture Club performed their hit "Church of the Poison Mind" on a TV program to welcome the new year 1984.

2. Danny has been spouting out dogma and doctrine ever since he joined that fundamentalist church. He's now in a Church of the Poison Mind.

3. The members of al-Qaida, Hamas and other so-called Islamic fundie terrorist organizations belong to a Church of the Poison Mind. So do a lot of people all over the planet. That includes here in America.

4. An Episcopalian chapel at the university where I got my college degree advertizes itself by saying that Jesus died to take away your sins, not your mind.

U2

the greatest band in the world right now - while there's crappy nu-metal, corporate pop, hat acts, violence and kinky sex (and other things) glorifying rap, emo, poserpunk and other trash - then there's U2. They are true originals, their lyrics tend to lean to the spiritual side (as well as being mature and intelligent in the first place), and the guitarist is the aptly named "Edge". They hail from Dublin, Ireland and have been together for over 30 years and they still make top-quality rock and roll. That's right, the most innovative, original and inspiring rock supergroup in the past 3 decades doesn't come from America, doesn't come from Britain, but from Ireland. Imagine that. I saw them in concert twice and they kick the crap out of today's music anyday. Oh, and did I forget to say - U2 ROCKS!
Chuck: So what did you do this weekend?
Me: I went out to Oakland Stadium and saw U2.
Chuck: But I was at Yerba Buena island all weekend.

foo

a slang abbreviation for the word "fool". May have originated with black people but people of nearly all ethnic groups use it now.
1. Mr. T often says "I pity the fool". The last word in that phrase has often been mistrued as "foo".

2. In my sociology class in college our professor was giving a presentation about the presence of violence in human society. He stated that the family is the 3rd most "violent" institution in society (#1 and #2 being the military and police due to what said occupations may require). He mentioned domestic abuse and soon he drifted direction to the women, talking about date abuse. He said "in a relationship no one should be calling all the shots. If you don't want to do something he shouldn't try to force you to. If he ever beats you THEN THE RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE OVER. If he does it once he'll do it again. He might say that he can change but he won't. People like that want someone to control and use. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM THE FOO. You deserve better. You need a real man, not some immature foo looking for a punching bag or someone to slap around..."

3. to a certain Bahamian celebrity: are you reading this? We saw that picture and what some foo did to you. Don't be a foo too!

sympathy for the devil

1. a notorious hit song from a famous album from the late Sixties by the legendary Rolling Stones. It briefly describes humanity's history of violence and lust for power and wealth from the point-of-view of Satan, AKA "the Devil" among other names. The title comes from a book written earlier in the 20th Century. Many bands such as U2 and Guns 'N' Roses have covered this song live in concert.

2. a term used to describe something (like a story) from the viewpoint or perspective of someone infamous or evil. The villian's side of the story, or at least how he/she sees or experiences it.
1. Allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste...

When I saw the Rolling Stones in concert in 1997 they performed many hits, including "Symphony For The Devil". A great show. See them before they drop dead on the stage.

2. When the Star Wars movie The Phantom Menace was in the cinemas during the spring of 1999, a reviewer featured in a local alternative press weekly paper stated that the film was based largely on the life story of Anakin Skywalker who would later become the infamous villian Darth Vader later on. The critic referred to this by saying "now it's sympathy for the devil time".

3. the media (especially network TV) gave a buttery and rosy summary of the career of a certain politician who died that day. He had made a strong legacy and track record of arrogance, hatred, ignorance, bigotry, bullying, trying to force his views on America by methods such as trying to force censorship against everything he didn't like, and so on. The media presented him as some sort of "country gentleman" but I remember how he tried to use the U.S. Constitution as toilet paper. I guess it was sympathy for the devil time now. But I remember his hateful scornful attitude and I say he was an enemy of democracy and he can BURN IN HELL.

New York State

a pleasant state of America that has many exciting attractions such as the Great American Kazoo Factory (in Eden), Niagara Falls, New York City attractions, and several Iroquois Indian reservations where you can stock up on gas and other stuff without paying a state tax (all the money goes back to the Native American community)!
Eveywhere I went in New York State I couldn't find a "I-heart-NY" shirt. I do love New York State, a lot.

chicks and dicks

basically, it's a contemptuous term used by critics to denote the same old, same old themes used over and over again, especially in catagories of popular music such as cock rock and cock country. For example: "Ooh baby I just want to make love to you" or descriptions of life on the road, "love 'em and leave 'em" (I can't establish a relationship with you girl, but maybe next year me and the boys will be back here and we can screw again), the inconveinence of getting VD, and all that rigmarol.
I read the CD booklet of a Midnight Oil album and the narrator was amazed that there was an Aussie band that not only truly sounded Australian, even in their accents, but one that had somethings important to say, let alone anything to say period. Something besides the usual touring-and-getting-VD bromides, which he described as "chicks and dicks".
