Thanks to Youtube, I recently saw this laughably poor report on emo music and culture from a North Dakota TV station. I have much love for the ol' Peace Garden State, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in ages.
This was the lead story on an evening newscast. It reminds me of parents that used to freak out because their kids had Motley Crue records. Damn, rock and roll is supposed to be a little dangerous, and thank friggin' God that it is. But emo??? Maybe it'll put your son in danger of being a big wuss who wears his sister's pants, but that's about it.
Well, Sheriff's Deputy Fife, I mean Maygra, doesn't agree. He thinks those damn Sunny Day Real Estate albums are a straight ticket to suicide. And guess what? The popular girl who sits on the other side of the lunch room thinks those emo dorks are real weird. Better yet, ace reporter Lacey Crisp might not understand satire, and she might not have actually interviewed any of these "emo's," but she did uncover websites that are trying to push this wrist-cutting agenda on our kids!!!!

More Bush-bashing commie liberal bands on late night tv
OK, so nobody seemed to pay attention to the obviously brilliant clip I posted of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) playing his Bush-bashing anthem, "When the President Talks to God," on Jay Leno, but that's OK because I'm just going to assume you'd all heard that song before and didn't need me to remind you how good it was.
So for everyone that loved that one, here's a song that used to be on my profile page. It's one of my favorite bands of all time, NOFX, performing Franco-Unamerican live on Conan O'Brien before the last presidential election. My favorite line is "We all know George Bush is an imbecile. He loves Dick but he hates homosexuals. We're sick and tired of the embarrassment. The whole world wants us to get a better president."
