Fare thee well Kevin DuBrow, former lead singer of Quiet Riot I must say I'll miss seeing you on all those VH1/MTV reunion shows telling me from beneath a giant and very obvious wig, how Quiet Riot is so going to make a big comeback.
On the bright side, at least with you dead, nobody can set fire to a nightclub with pyrotechnics and accidentally kill a bunch of people who thought it would be funny to go see you slog through a set of moldy favorites as you try to recapture your glory days. One thing to be thankful for this holiday season.

Kay Hanley, headed for heroin habit?
A little bit more on that Thanksgiving Day Parade from my girl Kelly. Apparently there was a horrifying thing I missed involving one of my least favorite ex-local musicians...
"The Care Bears float was a moment of supreme "HA HA HA! Look what you've stooped to!" as the musical guest on the float - singing a song about caring and sharing - was Kay Hanley."
Wow, just watching that clip really creeps me out. Kay and skating Care Bears. Why does this remind me of when on VH1 behind the music Tommy Shaw from Styx said the embarrassment of performing Mr. Roboto live is what drove him to a life of heroin addiction?

What I learned watching Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
1. The refrain of Lifehouse’s single “First Time” is nearly identical to Robbie Williams’ “Win Some, Lose Some”. Is there another Avril Lavigne vs. the Rubinoos style lawsuit on the horizon? By the way, nice appearance by the band from atop the US Postal Service float. I’ll think of Lighthouse the next time I buy stamps.
2. Menudo still exist (and I applaud their choreography).
3. I actually kind of like "I Jump” a song performed by a band called Bindi and the Crocmen - comprised of Steve Irwin’s grammar school aged daughter fronting and a group of jumping Aussies who greatly resembled The Wiggles. It is possible however that I am merely a sucker for any song sung by a tiny voiced pint sized foreign girl. I’d be lying if the whole affair didn’t bring to mind “Ginger Ale” a song by The Clean and sung by Hamish Kilgour’s small daughter about her favorite beverage with the great refrain “bubbles up your nose – so sweet, so sweet!
4. Hard to tell who was looking cooler Good Charlotte or the Energizer bunny. Both wore the same sunglasses but Good Charlotte sang from atop a float advertising Hess trucks – surely the pinnacle of their careers. Since the bunny is a giant balloon full of helium, I think he wins.
