Music Zen!

Josh Homme has issued a bizarre statement regarding his recent freak out in Oslo at an a little chickenshit faggot object-throwing heckler. It’s amusingly worded, but then, Josh “I’m Never Too Sick to Fight” Homme still a lot to learn from Courtney Love’s blogging style.

Homme says:

Member of the Peanut Gallery:

Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other “acceptable” curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I’ve known gay is not a choice; one’s skin color doesn’t determine one’s intelligence level; & red hair doesn’t mean you’re someone’s stepchild. You see, it’s not the words, it’s their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic… I also told that young whipper snapper I’d have anal sex with him… how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds’ collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That’s your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I’m in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake… You say, “So. Your band name doesn’t prove anything.” Maybe not. But it’s a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog… (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick’s once suggested: — forgive me-. Or don’t. I’m not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you’ll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us… Because you’re so above it all. Or If you’ll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have, consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.

Sincerely,
Mr. Missundastood

Yeah, okay, Baby Duck. QotSA has put out some good stuff and Eagles of Death Metal is a fun band, but Josh man, what the hell are you doing, dude?

In other news, because I know TJ is a big Gorillaz fan, I thought I would mention the new Gorillaz documentary.

Bill “Do it Live” O’Reilly, the inspiration for the greatest URL in the history of man, thinks that Chris Martin is a pinhead.

I see O’Reilly and I have found something to agree on. I think we disagree on why he’s a pinhead, but we roughly agree that he’s sort of a megaloser.

Amy Winehouse may well have TB. True / not true? I have no clue, but it’s definitely not every day you hear that a popular British member of the Royal Family singer has tuberculosis.
