–Over at Pith, we discuss how one knows if she has a “cadillac pussy.” I have to admit, I think Kid Rock is probably one of the largest douchebags on the planet and I don’t know if it’s because he’s just such a fucking midwesterner or if it’s because he reminds me of the recalcitrant brother in ways I can’t quite explain, but damn, I kind of love him.
I hang my head in shame.
–Really, someone point me to the person who is still about “Chinese Democracy.” I think the Beatles had their whole career in the length of time it’s taken Axl to get this out. And it’s going to suck, I’m sure. I give points to this dude for writing the most accurate take on it.
–On a more serious note, I have nothing to say about this, I just don’t want to be alone in reading it.
Through sources that will remain unnamed, I was given & listened to the whole Chinese Democracy album a week or two ago… it’s ok… it’s not as bad as I expected. But if you’re going to take however many years this album took, it should be a damn near masterpiece. And it’s not.
I’d like to know more about the 9000 child labor violations.
Oh, god, I wish I hadn’t gone to find out more about this for you, because it’s unbecoming to make the noises this makes me make.

Here’s a hint of what they’re talking about:
Underage kids in the slaughter and packing areas, working 17-hour shifts? You can rack up some violations that way, for sure.
But, frankly, I just don’t understand how people can look at these folks who were so clearly being exploited as the problem. The problem is the business that “hired” them as practically slave labor, because they could because these people have no way of complaining without risking deportation. In what way is that moral?
As I said in another post, on another topic (I think it was re: where our food comes from) Fast Food Nation woke me up to the shady business practices of these types of business – among other things.
They will exploit ANYONE – and then throw them away (usually after an on the job injury renders them incapable of doing their job). They simply don’t care as long as money is coming in.
See my comment about unions on another thread….
I don’t know if my last girl had a Cadillac pussy, but she sure had plenty of room to spare in the trunk!

Try the veal!
