I Dislike Your Favorite Team

#1. Thin Lizzy. For most of my life, I have known of one song by Thin Lizzy, and it was "The Boys Are Back in Town". A perfectly fine song, but never one that inspired me to go find more Thin Lizzy. I assumed (quite incorrectly) that they were some Grand Funk Railroad type American band. Then slowly but surely, things started being revealed to me. I discovered the band was Irish and that main songwriter/singer Phil Lynott was in fact a tall black guy from Dublin. Then, Golden Smog covered "The Cowboy Song", and I realized that Lynott was a hell of songwriter. Guitar Hero II came out, which had a Thin Lizzy song ("Bad Reputation") that I loved the more I played it. None of that got me to buy a Thin Lizzy album, though. It was an old BBC concert on VH1 Classic (a hell of a channel, by the by) that finally convinced me to invest in a little Thin Lizzy. I've now got two albums, "Jailbreak" and "Bad Reputation"--Holy Shit, is this band so MUCH BETTER than their hit single. I'm now totally willing to admit that I love Thin Lizzy. Here they are, doing Dancing in the Moonlight.





#2. Paige Davis is back on Trading Spaces, and I couldn't be happier. No, I'm not gay.

#3. The new Captain America is packing heat. I've discussed this with Barnyard, and he seems rather ambivalent. Barnyard thinks that Captain America shouldn't need a firearm. I think Barnyard is living in a pre 9-11 world. Bucky Barnes, former sidekick to the original Captain America, and former brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Solider, the new Captain knows guns, and needs to use them. Go shoot bad guys, Cap!
