Despite the wishes of my dad, I never got into the mega-superstars of music. My dad treasured his Beatles album and sang songs from it all the time. And I would have rather listened to his badly warped John Coltrane record. Which was ok with my dad since he also loved jazz, but I think he was puzzled over how I could ignore the greatest recording artists of all time.

I never heard Eleanor Rigby until it was covered by the band Godhead, in an electronic turn. I can pick out a few Rolling Stones songs here and there, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. I outright detest KISS. I thought my husband was telling me a whopper when he told me that Queen did Fat Bottom Girls. And I can identify Bob Dylan, but I don't know that I've ever heard any of his songs.

I've heard that Ashton Kutcher is being looked at for Tommy Lee and Johnny Depp as one other member of the band, no idea who (can't really see him as Vince Neil.

This has to be one of the lamest ideas that I ever heard. Let's wait until the Crue is no more before rolling out a movie. Ray, cool. Walk the Line, Cool. The Buddy Holly Story, cool. La Bamba, Cool. Motley Crue, get outta here. The Crue still has many good years left to do random things, break up and get back together again, and date/marry tons of beautiful women.
