Is this the part where Greg Kot flies the rockist flag?

x-post the George Foreman grill is useful, but is such a bitch to clean that I dread using it.

The new ones they came out with in 2003 are all coated with nonstick, teflony goodness. Cleans up beautifully with a washrag instead of a scrubby sponge.

Now, that I've shilled... where's my money?

BONO: That's a really important point that I want to get across to you. There's this poverty of ambition, in terms of what rock people will do to promote their work. That's a critical issue to me.

The excitement of punk rock, in the Irish and UK scene when we were coming up, was seeing our favorite band on "Top of the Pops," right next to the "enemy." That would be exciting. We did talk shows, TV shows, back then. The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto. I don't like that kind of thinking. I know some of it exists, and some of our best friends are part of it. It's not for me.

Progressive rock was the enemy in 1976. And it still is. And it has many, many faces. This beast is lurking everywhere. It can describe itself as indie rock. It's the same [blanking] thing. It's misery. I have seen so many great minds struck down by it.
