So what is up with this show 24? It used to be I was able to "follow" the story line by seeing the commercials - understanding what had happend the week before by the commercials for the upcoming week. And a while back Kiefer was supposed to die and I was truly intrigued at how they were going to keep the show going for another half-season without him. Then I see a commercail today and he is alive. What happened? Was it a simple jump-out-of-the-crashing-plane-and-miraculously-live kind of thing? Some one let me know - I just got through all the Sopranos, I don't have time for two whole seasons of 24.

And now, as I am watching "extreme metal" or whatever on M2 I am discovering the root of my dislike for a lot of the metal that is coming out these days. It's too glam. It seems like we've gone back to the day of big hair, tight pants, and tattoos determining how successful the band is going to be. The best metal acts around today: System of a Down, Godsmack, Tool, Thumb, downset, etc - these are all bands you couldn't pick out if they were walking down the street. Not that Marylin Manson didn't have his better points, but I am afraid the whole glam thing lost him a lot of credibility. Maybe the underlying theme is that you can't dress up good music - it all comes from the heart anyway, it;s just the best stuff you can really hear that heart. And it doesn't hurt to have your video directed by Darren Doane.
