1. MTV is remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
This is so bizarre that I really don't know how to respond. Except with concern that the powers that be at the channel that ruined music might cast Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson as Brad and Janet. I shudder at the thought.
Although, I confess, I'd kind of like to see Jack Black play Eddie.
2. A Boston Globe columnist advocates the abolition of the "Yankees Suck" chant.
But I am a Red Sox fan, have been all my life, and so that means I don't like the Yankees. My two sons don't like the Yankees either. But here's the critical difference: I respect the Yankees, and I've taught my sons to do so, too. They are 14 and 11, love baseball, and know that Derek Jeter plays the game as well and as hard as anyone has. If I were picking sides in the schoolyard, Jeter is the guy I'd pick first.
Whoa. Logic and civility coming out of Boston. That did not happen in the 4 years I spent there...
