I can’t wait until the VH1 show for The Who. What a lineup!

stupid "n" word | 5/25/2008, 11:45 am EST

for once i agree with al sharpton. calling an album the “n” word is no less offensive than using the “f”word for gays, the “c”word for women ,,,,,,ect. it is not funny. it is not free speech. it is stupid.
