I don’t care what’s going on in the rest of the world. It ain’t 2008 until the ball drops in NYC, baby!

Although, by 12 I may have a gun in my mouth!

Just little old me, a bottle of Jack and a gun . . .

Happy Fuckin’ New Year!

“you know, all you whiny little internet blogging bitches are ridiculous. you slam rolling stone for reporting about britney spears (which they have every right to do since she is a [lousy, yes] recording artist) and putting her name in”

You’re the one who’s the whiny little bitch. You’re the one going, “you know all you people are blah blah blah blah”.

I don’t know how you can’t see that Dick Clark was being funny. You’re a troll with no sense of humor.

Have an Unhappy New Year!!!

dr. no | 12/29/2007, 1:33 pm EST

you know, all you whiny little internet blogging bitches are ridiculous. you slam rolling stone for reporting about britney spears (which they have every right to do since she is a [lousy, yes] recording artist) and putting her name in headlines. but if she was the most mentioned name in headlines this year, and all you little freaks keep blogging about her, don’t you think that justifies her popularity? the media wouldn’t gravitate towards such tripe if the masses didn’t consume it so readily.

Dick "Ready to Croak" Clark | 12/29/2007, 12:42 pm EST

First of all - Happy New Year to all you Rolling Stone blogging motherfuckers.

Second - what does it say that Britney Spears was the subject of the most posts on this website? I’ll tell you what…that Rolling Stone is becoming the National Enquirer and Star trash equivalents of music publications. Sure Britney had some music news worthy events that needed to be covered. But the majority of her stories was just plain bullshit stuff that should remain in rag type celebrity garbage publications - not worthy of coverage here on RS.

Now in 2008, Rolling Stone, let’s read about some relevent music news and maybe a few odd-job stories sprinkled in, but let’s not entirely focus on sensationalistic Britney crap (unless you have some nude pics of her you’d like to post ). ;-)
