This is funny because I literally was once in a bar fight in Illinois over The Knack.

I'm curious about the bar fight over the Joy Division song. If you tell me about that then I'll tell you about the bar fight I had in Iowa over Noam Chomsky....a little preview: it included a 40-year old communist-anarchist dishwasher named Ajax.

2010-02-09T11:01:08.029-05:00

Please, for the love of all that's holy, start adding hair band riffs to query rejections.

It would make my day, while simultaneously hurting me a little, which is very rock n' roll.

Are you telling me not everyone adores Bon Jovi? Really? Don't believe it for a second! I'll just turn up his section on my iTunes so they can all listen in :)

PS - congrats to Ink - awesome!!!

I totally scored a 99 on RockBand singing Wanted Dead Or Alive. "Cause I'm cowboy, On the steel horse I ride..." Aaah, you know the rest.

When you're brought into this world/They say you're born in sin/Well at least they gave me something/I didn't have to steal or have to win.....shot dowwwwnnnnn in a blaze of glorrryyyyyyyy

I'm totally going to see them at Giants Stadium at the end of May... they still put on a kickass show!

Oh lord, Ink, you are CRACKING MY SHIT UP today.

I was in the Bon Jovi fan club in high school -- we'll leave it at that. Just saw him in Denver last year and he still rocks!

Congrats Ink!!!

2010-02-08T14:33:08.125-05:00

That's it. I'm firing up Rock Band and doing Wanted Dead or Alive like twenty times in a row, right now. If only I had some stuffy neighbors to annoy... oh, wait. I do. :-)

My Jon Bovi moment: Saw him at a party in South Beach. Stood near him for like 10 minutes. We were too cool to say hi, natch. Read it and WEEP, Le R!

Published an infant! I love it! Congratulations, Ink! (And my condolences on the impending loss of your sleep patterns, sanity and peace of mind.)

Y'all know you can't just listen to Bon Jovi! You have to sing along! LOUD!

2010-02-08T11:19:48.853-05:00

Love, love, love Jon Bon Jovi!

First date with my husband we listened to him most of the night.

And we watched the latest documentary and found out not only is he FINE and Talented but he is intelligent as well. Which is like sprinkles on the cupcake of his awesomeness.

And 'Livin' On A Prayer' just came on the radio. Freaky.

One more thing... Happy 500 followers! ;)

2010-02-08T11:05:32.161-05:00

It's remarkable how much BIDNING GLUE the INFANT required. And fitting the DUST JACKET... yeesh.

And it's okay. I listened to VANILLA ICE. And SHAVED LINES IN MY HAIR despite being white and suburban and wearing dorky glasses because that would make listening to PUBLIC ENEMY much BETTER even though I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING.

2010-02-08T11:00:36.081-05:00

Doesn't matter where you go
Doesn't matter who you query
If it's a house in NYC
Or just a mile from Lake Erie

Many, many, many years ago, I stayed in a hotel in Cleveland during a SANE/Freeze convention that was simultaneously being stayed at by Bon Jovi.

/lol "published an infant"
