Meaning of the song “Gives You Hell” by The All American Rejects
Apr 1st
In the song “Gives You Hell” by The All American Rejects, lead singer, Tyson Ritter is talking about the drastically different lifestyles that he and one of his ex-girlfriends are now living. He’s not afraid to be bitter about the whole situation. In verse one he draws contrast between his lifestyle and hers by the lyrics:
“I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you’re still probably workin’
At a 9 to 5 pace”
The pre-chorus is a little funny because it is very deceptive-one moment talking about loss and missing someone but then flat out admitting that your lying.
The chorus is Tyson’s way of saying “You had me, your loss…oh and I hope your pissed about your decision” . He’s communicating that he lives the life of a rockstar and she decided to leave and now he hopes she’s miserable about it. In the second verse Tyson is pointing out that material things can’t buy love. He hopes that she deeply regrets her decision to leave him and in the hook he tells her how it is:
“Now you’ll never see
What you’ve done to me
You can take back your memories
They’re no good to me
And here’s all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well”

American Idiot Musical – Green Day
Mar 30th
Say What? Yeah, you heard me right. Michael Mayer, director of Broadway’s Spring Awakening, and Green Day decided to get together for a musical. The entire theatrical production will be based off of Green Day’s American Idiot. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense,” front man Billie Joe Armstrong told the NYT, “but that’s what I love about it. When people see it, it’s going to be my wildest dream. The American Idiot musical will open September 4th at California’s Berkeley Repertory Theatre and run through October 11th.

Meaning of the song “Dead and Gone” by T.I. , Ft. Justin Timberlake
Mar 29th
This song primarily deals with the change that T.I. has gone through over the past few years. From living the rough life to fortune and fame, T.I. has grown a lot as an artist and a human being-“The old me is dead and gone”. At the beginning of his music video you’ll see a bible verse proving this:
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put childish things away. – 1 Corinthians 13:11
In the first verse T.I. reflects on how his old days were. He uses it to express how people make stupid decisions all for nothing and how this is childish behavior. He makes a pledge at the end of the first verse that he will no longer have anything to do with this lifestyle. In verse two he brings up his best friend Philant Johnson, who was killed in 2006 in a highway gun fight after T.I’s show. This is a tough topic for him, and he still blames himself for Philants death.
The hook is a medaphor about him looking in all directions and those old people he used to hang with not being there for him anymore.
T.I. was recently sentenced to a year in jail.

Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman – Stoned out of his mind
Feb 12th
Joaquin Phoenix is tripped out on acid or something. He can’t even pull off a normal interview, this is a little hard and awkward to watch. Through all this, we end up learning that his music is going to be hip-hop, or so he mumbled out. Letterman shot him down when he said he would perform!
Bruce Springsteen fires up for the Super Bowl
Jan 30th
It’s that time of year again, time for nostalgia at halftime. Every year lately since the Janet Jackson boob-show we get to see historic musicians. I know that it’s for the family but can’t we get a good rock band up there like Linkin Park or Metallica. Lately it’s been Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, and most recently Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers. They are all great musicians but come on! Get me some rock in this stadium! Opinions?
