Are you ready to rock? Not really.

Everything you need to know to realize that the next four years are gonna suck like the 50's never dreamed of sucking. Courtesy of Wonkette, part of the inaugural festivities:

Artist, Description

-- JoJo, Pop/Top 40

-- Hillary Duff, Pop/Top 40

-- Ruben Studdard, Soul

-- 3 Doors Down, Rock

-- Boxkar, Rock

-- Jason Sehorn, Athlete

And what are they calling this Bushapalooza?

AMERICA'S FUTURE ROCKS TODAY

No. No America is not going to "Rock Today" with JoJo, Hillary Duff, Ruben Studdard, 3 Doors Down, and Boxkar (who are only called Boxkar because And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead was already taken).

Can these artists rock?

Not fucking likely.

Here is what Boxkar has to say about itself on their own website:

Their songs have an appeal and realness of a Matchbox Twenty with a swagger of an Aerosmith.

Wanting to have the "appeal and realness" of Matchbox Twenty is like wanting to be funny like Bob Saget. After the inauguration I suggest a new name: A Flock of Wankers.

1. and "Asleep At The Wheel"

has new meaning now. I can't believe Ray Benson is doing this. I feel vindicated for the past 20 years of thinking that he and the Wheel have gone to shit. Great band in its original configuration, lots of excellent musicians. But now, it's all about Ray. (I hate to diss him so hard, he was just on a record a friend of mine did, but DAMN, what an asshole!)

3. Man, if you are comparing yourself to ...

Matchbox Twenty on your own website you most certainly are incapable of rocking.

4. Why you compare yourself to another band is beyond me in the first place

That's for other people to do. You don't do it yourself. 1. How do they know they are even as good as Match Box Twenty and 2. Why even bother listening to someone who thinks they sound like someone else. Just listen to the someone else.
