Dee Snider Says to Former Vice President Al Gore "Don't Throw Stones"

Dee Snider

Dee Snider and the band he's with, Twisted Sister, ended up on the wrong side of Al Gore's wife Tipper Gore's group, P.M.R.C or Parents Music Resource Council, which started the trend of slapping albums with explicit lyrics with parental advisory labels. But, this has happened to all heavy metal bands, such as KIS getting labeled 'Nazis in disguise' or Judas Priest getting the heat for two kids offing themselves listening to their song "Better By You, Better Than Me" because it supposedly contained lyrics egging them to kill themselves.

Back in the '80s, Tipper Gore went after Twisted Sister because of the bad lyrics. Because of this "council" you now see parental advisory stickers on albums with explicit lyrics. And because a Twisted Sister album had sexually explicit lyrics, these guys went under the bus. Tipper Gore and her PMRC attacked a lot of heavy metal and hard rock bands because of that.

During this little trial, Snider poured out his heart, saying he takes his kids to church and that they believe in God, that  “Al, a) I’m still married, and b) none of my kids have been busted for possession. So don’t throw stones.”

Apparently Paul Stanley Says He Doesn't Need the R&R Hall of Fame to Be Famous

You heard it right. Paul Stanley of KISS fame says he does not need to be associated with the R&R Hall of Fame to be famous. The reason for this is KISS has been overlooked for years about becoming inducted into the famous rock museum, especially when they induct musicians who aren't even rock into it, like Grandmaster Flash. He's not rock, he's RAP!

He told the Huffington Post “Look, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is marketing,” “You’ve got a bunch of faceless people in a back room who trademark a name that sounds very official. Well, if you had thought of it first, you would have been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

He also added, “I would certainly accept on their behalf because it seems to be a major sore spot for them, but I don’t need the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

Top 10 Sexy Rockers

Here are some rockers who 'think they're sexy', lol, mocking the Rod Stewart song "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

Rod Stewart

Peter Frampton

Robert Plant
-Was very attractive in his younger days. Also is noted for his high pitched wail when singing

Mick Jagger
-How? This singer has been noted in the 1960s and 1970s for redefining what is and can be considered as male beauty. Even though his track record with women is longer than the Millenium Bridge in London, he still remains a good singer

Kiss 'Revenge' Turns 21 Years Old

This album marks when the band decided to take off the makeup. It celebrates its big 2-1 today. This is the most celebrated album of these guys, especially considering they took their makeup off for it.

This album marked the temporary return of Vinnie Vincent as the Egyptian Ankh Warrior, who was called in to replace Ace Frehley. This album also marks a very tragic event. Right before the album was recorded, drummer Eric Carr was diagnosed with cancer and lost his fight with it, thus passing away too soon. After bringing in a new drummer, Eric Singer, this album was dedicated to Carr, whose real name was Paul Charles Caravello.

My New and Improved 'Bucket List'

Sorry it's been a little while since I did any posts. Actually, I just did one on Julian Lennon. Recently, I've been thinking about going back to school. Just didn't know what for. Also, I was able to find a job. I work at a copy center for a law firm downtown called Vorys. And man o man, is this stuff boring! I was actually working for another law firm in Ohio called Reisenfeld & Associates; I was working in the shipping department for the mail room there. That job is awesome. The people are nice. But, since I'm a temp, I have to go where they send me. And now I'm stuck in this torturously boring job in downtown Cincinnati, and I can't leave this God forsakenly boring place until this woman at work, who's pregnant, goes on maternity leave and comes back. After that, I'll be hired on full time. Oh please let it be the other place. There's a lady who works there who has two cute lil kitties named Thelma and Louise. And oh brother, you'll laugh reading this. One of the ladies at work has 4 English bulldogs. And you'll never guess what she named them. They are all male, here it is: she named them Mick, Keith, Ringo, and George, lmao.

But, lately, I've come up with a new and improved 'bucket list'.

Find a job I love.
-This will soon happen. I've postponed it :D

Fall in love hopefully.
-Hopefully my 'Mr. Perfect' is nice. Also, it wouldn't be bad if he was cute, my age and English, lol!

Travel the World
-So many places, so little time, lol

Get a tattoo
-Still haven't decided on the design yet. I'm thinking about Asian symbols, a Geisha girl, a lotus flower with Japanese symbols in it, an Irish cross or a Day of the Dead skull

Get my first place
-IDK why, but I love those single floor ranch style homes, along with industrial lofts, love those for some odd reason. I also love lofts in general and those Mexican adobe houses; they're warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Plus, they're pretty

Meet someone famous
-Would love to do this. Would love to meet Paul Stanley from Kiss. He's my sort of celeb crush. He's still cute, and even cuter in the black spandex on stage

Learn a new language
-Besides learning Spanish, I'd like to learn some other languages. Definitely Russian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Italian

Go back to school
-I've finally decided what I want to go back to school for. Criminal Justice. I can't believe I was this thick headed and didn't think of that before. With all the law shows I watch lately, including Law and Order: UK, I should have taken that as a hint!!! Well, it's decided: I'm going back for that. And plus, working, in a way, for a law firm, only makes it better. Now only if I could get hired on at the other law firm I was working at, then it would be HEAVEN!!!

Study Abroad
-This would be cool to do

London. This is where I want to study abroad...

Get my first car
-I'm bound and determined to make my first car a VW Bug or Mini Cooper!!

Get my drivers license
-I'm well on my way to this. All I gotta do is get in some more practice and I'll be driving in no time!!!

Try something new and exotic
-IDK why, I'm really thinking about trying bungee jumping. It looks fun!

Go to a rock concert
-I'm still waiting on this one. Hope it happens...

AC/DC would be the dream concert for someone who listens to rock music as much as I do

Write a book
-This would be cool

Have a dream job
-Everyone has a dream job. Mine would be writing columns at Rolling Stone Magazine!

He is drop dead gorgeous!! God, I wish I were Gwen Stefani...

Be told I'm beautiful
-Some may think this is odd, but I would love for someone to tell me I'm beautiful and actually have some meaning behind it instead of doing it just to be nice!

Go bungee jumping
-This ties in with my 'go try something exotic' goal

Lose weight
-I'm trying to do this. I've lost 10 pounds. Just gotta keep exercising and get Just Dance 4. Then the pounds will really shed off when I'm dancing to Moves Like Jagger, lol!!

Travel to London
-Something I've been dreaming about since high school

Live somewhere exotic
-Everyone has those one or two places they call their second house. In the newspapers, they have international temperatures and weather. My stepdad says "how is it in my second home?" Meaning Tahiti. My other "homes" include London because the local culture is too interesting to pass up, Sydney, Australia because it's warm and sunny with really hot guys with even hotter accents or Tokyo because the culture is awesome!

Awwww, he's so cute!!!
