Gym Class Heroes, Good Charlotte Join Denny's "Rockstar" Menu

In keeping with the theory that rock & roll keeps you up late and may not be good for your internal organs, Denny's has expanded their "Allnighter Rockstar Menu," which already boasted artery-choking items like Katy Perry's Hot N Cold Cherry Chocolate Cappuccino and the All American S.O.S. (c/of the All-American Rejects, of course). The new additions include Gym Class Heroes' After School Special, which a press release dares to compare to the band's genre-blending sound: "Texas toast topped with hash browns, a fried egg, shredded cheese, bacon and fire-roasted peppers and onions" with bonus hash browns and a side of Ranchero country gravy. There's also Good Charlotte's Band of Burritos, Sum 41's Sumwich and Rascal Flatts' Unstoppable Breakfast. The menu starts at $3.99 and is available from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
