What the hell is it with Indiana? The two most famous people from that state are also the most deranged space-cadet nutjob recluses ever! 'Children of the Corn'? (At least it's not Wisconsin! Dahmer, Gein, Fonzarelli)

Axl wins, for a)the fact that he took shit ONSTAGE (from Vernon Reid)
as where as everywhere else over the "immigrants and faggots" thing
while everybody overlooked MJ's "Jew me sue me", b) not going on TV
to put his case forward about beating Erin Everly as a perfectly
justified punishment for something she did in a past life, and c)
staying the fuck out of the public eye when he had nothing to say!
Long periods of silence render just about anyone tolerable.

I was born in Bloomington, and I say, "Feh."

On nobody in particular. Just a nervous tic we Bloomintonians have. Feh.

MJ only said that "Jew Me" crap because his brainwave pattern was being telepathetically altered by the fiendish psychotronic powers of Professor Griff.

"sue me, jew me, shoot an arrow right through me" = line from Guys & Dolls. Later changed when anti-semitism was less acceptable

i think the folks in indiana feel the same way we New Jerseyans think
about Camden ... geographically
in the state, but
really a part of the megalopolis in the
other state
(i.e., Camden = mutant offspring of Philadelphia; Gary = mutant
offspring of Chicago). and since John Mellencamp seems to be a
pretty normal guy, what does that do to yer theory of Hoosier wacko-
ness dave?
whatever ... dave q says axl should get props for "staying the fuck
out of the public eye when he had nothing to say," but did he really
have anything to say on circa-Spaghetti Incident (shit, make
that Use Your Illusion)? maybe i'm confusing this
with "nothing worthwhile to say." anyway, he has kept
his yap shut (whudda thunk he'd have enough brains to do that
after "one in a million") which makes him a shade brighter than not
only mr. jackson, but also more than 90% of all popstars ever.
on the other hand, axl never had a Stalinoid-behemoth statue of
hisself built and trawled up and down the Thames for no apparent
reason ... granted, this evinces a michael jackson ego the size of
Siberia, but can such a thing be topped for sheer absurdity?
