Danish Man Convicted of Discrimination
By JAN M. OLSEN, Associated Press Writer

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - A Danish pizzeria owner who refused service to French and German tourists because their governments didn't back the U.S.-led war in Iraq was convicted of discrimination Tuesday.

Aage Bjerre, who owns a pizzeria on western Denmark's Fanoe island, was investigated by police after he wouldn't serve Germans and French. He called them "anti-American."

Steve Tyler's lips and tongue fascinate me.:yum:

Not that I can explain it, but I've heard several women opine that Steve Tyler (and Mick Jagger) are so ugly that they're hot. They couldn't explain it either, but given that I've heard the statement on more than one occasion, it must be something of a phenomenon.

I'll note that, in contrast, I've never felt that way about an unattractive woman. Including Kathy Bates.

She is the babe of babes. Especially in that hot-assed love scene in About Schmidt. Yummy yummy.

Anybody got a .jpg???

I can't wait for the Top 25 "VH1 List Specials" Special. That one should be awesome. I think Power Ballads will totally be top 10. Albums is probably number one though, don't you think?

... or Best Hair Band from the 80's. For me it's a tie between Cinderella and Bon Jovi.

I don't feel the love for Mick -- I can't get past the ugly -- but I understand it. It's the strutting confident sexual bad-bad-bad boy thing, and the singing.

Kathy Bates is not a fitting analogue. I haven't seen her latest movie, but in general she's not very sexy/sexual (I'm thinking Fried Green Tomatoes). What about Joan Jett? I wouldn't describe her as ugly, but she wasn't pretty, either. Chrissy Hynde? She was prettier than Joan Jett, but not a typical "babe," but she had a sexy rock star vibe (which she surely had before she became famous). Did you find either of them hot?

Actually "Time After Time" is quite a good song. It's easy to debate Cyndi Lauper's vocal talents, but Miles Davis liked the song enough to record it.

"Welcome to the Jungle" is a better G'nR song than "Sweet Child 'o Mine."

"Every Breath You Take" should be top 5.

The Goo Goo Dolls must have a relative at VH1.

Some of the songs are just in there because they wanted to have something from an artist. "(Just Like) Starting Over") from John Lennon? "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith? "ay of Light" by Madonna?

For some reason, this list reminds me of a scene from High Fidelity
Jack Black: "You wouldn't be familiar with our immediate influences. They're mostly German."
John Cusack: "What? Kraftwerk, Falco, Hasselhoff?"

Oh, and Diane Warren should be shot like a dog in a dirty street for musical crimes against humanity.

You couldn't explain it because it was a lie, not a phenomemon. Either that or they're kidding themselves.

Translation: She's not the only one. I'm pretty sure I'm not your wife and I also have a [typical], [shallow] thing for [extraordinarily rich, exceedingly ugly guys -- specifically, rock stars -- whose faces I would laugh in if they were nobody and approached me with lovin' on their minds].

WHY would you shoot a DOG?!!

I knew it!!!
 

Prediction comes true. What? A Million dollars is not enough? I guess she wanted fame just like the rest of us.

Yes, TM, you nailed it. I'm incredibly shallow, and a whore to boot.

It must be based on sales and VH1 airplay. Again, it's a stupid, awful list.

I have to agree with Jack. I have heard amazing jazz renditions of Time After Time. It's a really great song. (Tuck & Patti's acoustic version is my favorite vocal performance of the song.)
