Anyways, I've been a fan of this series since once more joining the cable class. Frequent viewings of Family Guy and Futurama were easy enough to adapt to. I was a slower convert to Aqua Teen Hunger Force ... took me a while to realize it was the Thee Stooges ... only the characters were rotated and replaced with a Milk Shake cup (yes, I said cup) as the leader (as if played by Curly); a medium container of fries (yes, I said fries) as the second in charge (as if played by Moe), and a silly little wad of meat as the third wheel (as if played by Larry). Shake cracks me up. Tell anyone and I'll cut ya.
But this Robot Chicken thing ... sorry, it fails to impress. Watch it once and the schtick is old. Cute, but old. Basically, it's stop action comedy with action figures playing out some seriously whacked out scenes. I'll admit to dying of laughter at their spinoff of That 70s Show in which the characters referenced blogging and text messaging. With skits like that, I don't doubt the writing talent, just the medium. I mean, I'm sure That 80s Show had some decent talent behind it as well, right? But the shame of it all was that it paled by comparison to the original concept.
Matt: You mean that slimy wanna be Prince/Sting egomaniac sack of shit ex band mate of mine. The fact that I called him a friend uhrggg. It just shows how low that cocksucker really is. Anyone that enjoys seeing his friends starve for no reason, because of his greed, lies and manipulating ego driven games, man they must be in a really bad place themselves, I wasn’t watching out for my friend to fuck me, that’s why he got away with so much. I always heard about the sharks in this business, but between him our manager. The sharks were in our own little fishbowl. Call me unprofessional all you want for spilling the pot of beans, it ain’t about you, or tarnishing the band. That’s the real truth.Jason: Matt Kramer hasn’t done one remotely successful thing in the 15+ years he has been out of Saigon Kick. While he hates me and my songs, he has no problem featuring the videos of songs I wrote on his web site and speaking about Saigon in every interview... I guess those are still the last relevant things he has done. What he is trying to do is make himself look cool by rewriting history.... if he hated “Love Is On The Way” so much, why didn’t he quit when he first heard it, or in the studio, or when it started to go up the charts, or when we were shooting the video, or when we were touring the world? Nope, he rode it all the way because he wanted nothing more than to be a famous rock star. Only after his career came to a screeching halt did he try and repackage himself as anti-ballads. Yet when the “I Need Money For Food Tour” or as you may have heard it called, Saigon Kick reunion tour goes out, he goes around the country dancing to my songs again. Matt Kramer reminds me of Ray Finkel from “Ace Ventura Pet Detective”... Hey Matt, laces out!
Who needs soap operas?

Sadly, I opted not to go see Elton John this time around. I caught him on the EJ/BJ tour a couple years back, and decided not to spend the money this time.
