first paragraph of that article... eat yr heart out goalkeeper:
While walking home from the busstop this week, a 13-year-old Norwegian school boy stumbled upon four wolves. In the end, it may have been his love of heavy-metal music by the band Creed that saved his life.

while it was unfolding live i couldn't believe what i was seeing. cheerleaders, a tot with a salvation army kettle, a gospel choir, a bunch of Ed Kowalczyks flying through the air on sashes, Scott Stapp #11 and his ill-prepared lip-syncing.
I doubt there's a pop culture time capsule that better explains the immediate post-9/11 era and atmosphere of the U.S.

look I share your antipathy toward halftime shows (except the Prince one) but shirtless flying dude taking wing past Scott Stap singing "Higher" in a Dallas Cowboys jersey and fistpumping ascends his bald angel ascends to the upper air of the stadium, if you can't see how that's special then you need to get higher

*as his bald angel ascends
stapp looks a lot like kenny loggins. i sort of always knew that but didn't really.

not to nitpick but he looks a lot more like he's on downers to me. his lukewarm performance and the fact that he looks like a blurry character in a mcnaughton painting is what makes the aerial stunting so embarrassing imo.

when he puts his arms out to his sides and sashays around he looks like a figure skater.

Everything about this sounds awesome. A Reagan biopic starring Real Hollywood Conservatives Dennis Quaid and Jon Voight, with Scott Stapp as Frank Sinatra, directed by the guy who made the Bratz movie, two Casper sequels, and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain starring Hulk Hogan. (The latter having the distinction, per Wikipedia, of being "the worst of the four" in the 3 Ninjas franchise.)
