Hitting on a 16 year old – funny or creepy?

Justin Bieber on SNL – Church Lady and the Roommate (FULL) Feb. 5, 2011 Saturday Night Live HD

I  just found a band called The Gaslight Anthem that I had never heard of before. I decided to go to Youtube and check them out and I rather liked what I found. Here is the first song that I found. I clicked it because, as a fan of classical literature, how could I not click on a song called “Great Expectations”?.

Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys’ blood from her claws
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
My heart’s like a wound

I saw tail-lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I’d expect as much from you
I saw tail-lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn’t you?

Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside
With papers and poetry about Estella
With great expectations
We had the greatest expectations

I saw tail-lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I’d expect as much from you
I saw tail-lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn’t you?

It’s funny how the night moves
Humming a song from 1962
We were always waiting . . . always waiting
We were always waiting for something to happen

I saw tail-lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I’d expect as much from you
I saw tail-lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn’t you?

Image Comics reprints one-shot from electro-punk impresarios Mindless Self Indulgence

Berkeley, CA – 30 November 2010 – Electro-punk band Mindless Self Indulgence has been acclaimed by music aficionados the world over. They’ve headlined music festivals and played with world-renowned bands such as Korn, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Rammstein and System Of A Down. Now, Mindless Self Indulgence can add another item to their already impressive list of accomplishments: creators of a sold out comic book!

ADVENTURES INTO MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE, a one-shot illustrated by Jess Fink (POPGUN, Chester 5000), has sold out at the distribution level, so Image Comics is ordering a second printing of the hit comic. The book, which will feature a new cover by Fink, will be in stores December 22.

“Here is the comic of the true tales of MSI… And the truth fucking hurts… and hurts and hurts and hurts!” exclaims singer Jimmy Urine.

Adds guitarist Steve, Righ?, “It’s so damn good, I got the scars to prove it!”

“I don’t think retailers or readers were prepared for how great this comic was going to be,” notes Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. “Given Image’s track record with music-related comics, I would think everybody knows we’re going to bring the awesome with a project like this, but the first printing sold out so quickly, it’s obvious people need to be reminded. In other words: Don’t miss out a second time!”

ADVENTURES INTO MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE: True tales of horror and insanity that will chill you right to the bone! From Mindless Self Indulgence come true never-before-told stories from the road. THRILL as rowdy fans throw junk at the band! SHIVER as band members are hauled off to jail! WATCH in awe as venues are trashed!
