Parallax Scroll posted:

its an event that impacted a lot of peoples lives and our culture as a whole so its not that surprising

Writing songs about it is understandable. Writing a bouncy ska song about it is ..... weird. Let's skank for Columbine!

Also this:

quote:

Youngstown, Ohio-based pop punk cover band Reb Loves Vodka (often stylized as REB <3s VoDkA) takes its name from the two shooters' nicknames. Its lead members wear shirts identical to those worn by the shooters during the massacre during most concerts; for special events such as political rallies or LGBT-related events the shirts will have the same colors and fonts with slogans relating to the event, such as "REST IN POWER" or campaign slogans.

I remember a local DJ who refused to play Boomtown rats because he hated Geldof so much. He never met the guy, he was just such a dick that he got banned on reputation.

The best part is that they say they wrote the song as a "gently caress you to hipsters " but the only people who listen to the band are hipsters

....but enough about my posts
What I don't get , sorta relevant, is why they use "Schools Out" by Alice Cooper in commercials...
Without fail they use it like "schools out for summer... (Now fading the vocals through this line) schools out... Bah duh duh.... Bahhh bahhh ba duh duh."

If you think about it that song is hella terrorist. "School's out forever, my school's been blown to pieces" Very haram.

That song was a minor blip on a long road of one hit wonders. Some day it will be featured along with several other so-so songs as a cassette compilation called "ALTERNATIVE ROCK" by the Time-Life corporation, available only for a limited time through this special TV offer.

Bob Geldof is responsible for INXS frontman Michael Hutchence's suicide by keeping Hutchence's biological daughter Tiger Lily from seeing him. That's all you need to know.

Also, outside of Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" is a good school shooting song...
