INXS
A "new wave" rock'n'roll band from Australia that kicked mighty ass in the 1980s and 1990s. Their intelligent lyrics and hard driving music rocked an entire generation. Their singer/songwriter Michael Hutchence had a Jaggeresque swagger (some INXS songs show a strong Stonesy influence). He was found dead in 1997 after the band had scored many hits around the world. After that they got a replacement in J.D. Fortune and resumed activity. Still, without Hutch and his macho stage aura (and superb songwriting abilities), it just ain't the same. INXS ROCKS! INXS KICKS ASS!
The best INXS albums include "Listen Like Thieves", "Welcome to Wherever You Are", "Kick", "X", and "Full Moon Dirty Hearts". Their anthology "Shine Like It Does" is EXCELLENT! Also check out their video DVDs.

Parents Music Resource Center or for other people it's the Pushy Misanthropes Railing for Censorship. A bunch of fascist bitches who don't believe in the free expression of ideas. Stickering albums wasn't enough, founder Tipper Gore and her pestering friends tried to get ALL music that offended them banned. In the 90s many musical writers started to write more offensive music because the "Parental Advisory" sticker became a badge of honor. As a result, music offensive to the PMRC sold millions of units and scored high on the charts. The problem with all this is, people began to value "controversy" over artistic merit and the quality of popular music took a nose dive.
"We have a problem in America today. It's called censorship. We are the Ramones and we believe in the free expression of ideas and we have this to say tonight: FUCK THE PMRC!" Joey Ramone August 1990

Living Colour
A rock band of Black Americans popular in the late 80s - mid 90s. They played a fusion of heavy metal and funk, tho they also experimented with other styles and genres, too. Living Colour wrote mature, intelligent lyrics to their songs. I saw them on David Letterman in the end of the 80s and they were stunning to the max. They were playing "Which Way to Your America?". The singer Corey Glover(who'd make a fine gospel singer) was screaming out the words like his life depended on it. Guitarist Vernon Reid ranks with the Edge, Jimi Hendrix and other guitar heroes. Bassist Muzz Skillings and drummer Will Calhoun churned out the rhythm. It was trandescent and the band got a big time standing o. In the 90s Muzz was replaced by Doug Wimbish. Living Colour broke down racial barriers in FM rock radio. They disbanded in 1995.
I saw Living Colour live in early 1991. They were magnificent. They rocked down the house. The opening act, Urban Dance Squad, got us primed up.
Eeeeeeeeyo! What's your favorite color, baby?

Wah
in the U.S. Navy a phrase used to express mock sympathy, basically meaning "too bad" or "poor baby" (in a sarcastic way). Also known as "wah-fucking-wah".
George: Can I borrow some money for lunch today? Over the weekend I got blitzed and bought sex with a skank. Now I got no cash to pay off my credit card bill.
Joey: Wah!

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.

Domo Arigato
a phrase in the Japanese language that means "thank you very much". Made popular in Western culture by the 1983 hit "Mr. Roberto" (also known as "Kilroy Was Here", "The Modern Man" and "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto") by the band Styx. This is how many Americans learned the phrase.
after the Japanese man took a picture of me (sitting in two countries at the same time!) at the U.S. - Canada border mark on the Niagara Falls Peace Bridge I thanked him by saying "Domo arigato". He smiled and shook my hand.

Green Day
1. a day set aside to smoke grass.
2. a poser punk band from Oakland, California that whines about boredom. The singer sounds like he has a pile of shit in his mouth.

1. Let's have a green day!
2. the best thing you can say about the Green Day CD "Dookie" is that it has some tenth-generation Ramones chords on it.
