it's how everyone on the planet spells the word "color" except us Yanks, thanks to the spelling reforms of Noah Webster.
1. I was watching TV in my hotel room late at night in Niagara Falls, Canada. I could get American and Canadian TV signals there because I was at the border. There was an ad for Clairol with some lovely chicks showcasing their hair. Next to a lovely babe with long red hair was the logo: it said "Clairol Colour Treatment". I was watching an ad on Canadian TV.
2. At Oakes Parks in the Niagara area I was having a nice discussion with a Canuck lady. She said that I must be an American because I said "out" as opposed to "ewt". I said that yes I'm a Yank and that I spell "colour" with 5 letters, not 6.
3. Cyndi Lauper had a hit in 1986 with "True Colors". In 1998 Phil Collins released his version of it, respelling it as "True Colours" beings that he is British.
3. "Any Colour You Like" is a synthesizer-heavy instrumental by Pink Floyd.
4. The TA for one of my college classes is a Canadian. He says that American spelling for words like "catalogue" becoming "catalog" and dropping the "u" in "colour" to make "color" is a sign of laziness. Hey, it eliminates excess baggage. It's called "simplifying". That's the American way, fella!
5. Eeeeeeeeeyeww! What's your favorite color baby? ... LIVING COLOUR.

Get the colourmug. 1. a popular truck, used for fire truck and other purposes. Made by the R.E. Olds automobile company. Popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
2. a popular American hard rock band that had several hits in the 1980s like "Don't Let Him Go", "Can't Fight This Feeling", "Keep On Loving You", "In My Dreams" and more.

1. In the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada I saw an REO Speedwagon. Also, my mom remembers the REO Speedwagon truck.
2. Hit REO Speedwagon albums include "High Infidelity" and "Wheels are Turning".

Get the REO Speedwagonmug. 1. a southern slang phrase that means "flying off the handle", losing ones cool and losing ones self-control. Some people also think it could mean to get laid.
2. a big 1991 hit song from the Georgia rock band R.E.M..

1. George: Jeremy has been acting funny since he polished off a bottle of Wild Turkey.
Billy: Yep, he's lost some of his religion.
2. The title "Losing My Religion" caused some confusion at first here in the MidWest.

Get the losing my religionmug. 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. an overrated, cocaine-fueled, whitebread, surburban, corporate, Anglo-American "California" Seventies Adult Contemporary band with a strong yuppie and soccer mom fan base. Their "classic" 1977 album "Rumors" ain't so great. What they did in the Eighties IS an improvement, however. Still, they are a favorite of Tipper Gore, who tried to censor ALL music she didn't like, and take away our freedom of choice and expression. Fleetwood Mac is for those who don't like their music to be too challenging. This is a reason why we had to have the punk rebellion. Check out the members' solo albums for more exciting music.
Fleetwood Mac has a handful of decent singles (like "Tell Me Lies") but that's about it. When Bill Clinton was inaugerated in 1993, Fleetwood Mac reformed to play for the elite crowd. The muckety-mucks were on TV shaking their butts. WFD.
