Shania Twain
a Canadian country music star who has had big pop hits in the fucking PC 90s and beyond. She is married to producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange who oversaw great music in the 80s but now produces mostly shit. Shania is sexier than hell, but her songs are yuppified, Ally McBeal fan type pop shit for the soccer mom set, totally awesome in their flat out suckability. Utter crap.
Shania Twain is very sexy but her songs don't impress me much. Her albums belong in the shitcan. Complete trash.

santa claus
The term "Santa Claus" is an American distortion of the Dutch name "San Niccolaus", meaning "Saint Nicolas". He is known by many other names around the world, such as "Kris Kringle" in some places and "Father Christmas" in Great Britain. Saint Nick was a Catholic bishop in what is now modern Turkey during the days of the Roman Empire. He left gifts for poor people in his town and after he died the legend of St. Nick coming to homes in a chariot carrying presents for good people was born. The legend was spread along with Christianity and when that faith reached the Arctic St. Nick started riding a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. The legend spread around the globe and in the 20th century in America Coca-Cola provided the modern image of "Santa" as fat, jolly, rotund, with white hair and beard, wearing a red suit and black boots and of course, drinking a bottle of Coke. He is beloved by children all over.
Santa Claus is based on a real person, just like many "fairy tales" and myths that have existed throughout history.

country music
a once-vital form of rustic music derived from European styles of folk and dance music made by European immigrants to America. It's generally played with instruments like the mandolin, acoustic and steel guitars, fiddle and so on. It used to be about observations of the world, life and love in its complexities. Now it's all cliched, with imagery of cowboys, macho bragadoccio, Southern pride, small town life, "she done him wrong", "tears in my beer", "redneck" living, sentimental tripe like the trend-chasing "Angels Among Us", and "family values". Oh yes, and "God bless the U.S.A." jingoism. Ever since Garth Brooks (who is a watered down Bob Seger) hit it big in the fucking PC 90s, country has been "yuppified" and formulaic. Now there boring piano ballads with cliched lyrics galore sung by lousy Richard Marx clones with cowboy hats, the generic hat acts, pretty ladies singing tunes fit only for shopping mall opening-dedications, sexy ladies who sing corporate pop (no, it don't impress me much) and preachy, jingoistic sentimental crap in the aftermath of all this 9/11 business like the aw-shucks "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning". This trash is pushed on the sheep public by corporate execs in suits.
Country music has a rich history, having been around all through the 20th century, maybe before. It is a "root music" of rock'n'roll (along with jazz, blues and other styles). Then in the mid 90s country lost its vitality, absorbed influences from 70s adult contemporary acts like Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles and it's been gawlee gee money-making yee-haw crap ever since, in other words, a pale imitation of what the genre once was. For hicks, soccer moms and yuppies. Utter puke. Whole families listen to this swill, the kids grow up and become slaves to manufactured trash "music" and stereotypes. Sad, really sad.

diva
originally, a female opera singer. Then in the 80s MTV defined "diva" as a "woman singer who sings with emotion". Whitney Houston and Tina Turner were listed as divas. Now it basically refers to a music or movie star who is famous for her sexiness but has zero talent. She thinks the universe revolves around her and is surrounded by yesmen/yeswomen who roll out the red carpet and kiss her ass, telling her she's great. A self-centered rich bitch. There are a lot of spoiled talentless haughty divas around today.
Mariah Carey is constantly greeted by toadies and ass-kissers who tell her she looks nice every day and they roll out a red carpet before her. She's such a diva. Also, Britney Spears is out partying all the time this week while most of us have to work. What a diva!

fucking PC 90s
a phrase used by Kevin DuBrow of the band Quiet Riot during a show in Columbus, Ohio in 2000 to refer with a sneer to the previous decade. He apparently had hope for the 21st century. Unfortunately, that hope so far has been dashed.
The TV, the clothing styles, the hairstyles, the movies, the music, the politics, the economy, all the major trends of today suck out the ass. The decline of cool started during the fucking PC 90s.

Citroen
On Highway 315 I saw a Citroen on the road. It was as ugly as hell.
I saw a Citroen in the automotive museum in Sparks, Nevada. A sign next to it proclaimed it as the "ugliest car in the world". I believe it.

Huey Lewis and the News
a pseudo-white soul pop-rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1979. They haved scored several hits around the world. They have hit the top of the charts in America three times, as well as elsewhere. Their hits include "The Power of Love", "If This Is It" and "Stuck With You". Their excellent harmonies rank with those of the Beach Boys and Def Leppard. That's good!
