Forbes Top Earning Musicians Revealed
Wanna be depressed? Aw, c’mon, you know you do. So Blabbermouth.net had a link to an interesting article on Forbes about the top earning musicians over the past 12 months. No. 1 is Madonna, which surprises me since no one I know gives a damn about her anymore. No. 2 is Celine Dion – color […]

Real Superheroes
CNN.com – Remember those nerds you used to make fun of in High School? The ones who grew up to be costume wearing superfreaks, I mean superfans, and hung out at conventions, usually winding down their evenings with a restraining order against them from Leonard Nimoy? Well CNN (linked above) has an interesting story about […]
