If I can find the quote you can judge but if he were being tongue-in-cheek or the like on it then that man has such a dry sense of humor you can hear crackling every time he talks.

I think he meant his band was the specific inspiration for grunge AS A REACTION.

I fucking hate American culture sometimes.

I don't know about Toby Keith, but the only good second week I've seen all year is Michael Buble's, who shot to #1 thanks to Mother's Day.

I think it's healthier, though useless at this point, to root for Jack and Meg anyway, right?

Cringe.

What a sad fool.

I predict BJ, but there's no joy in that prediction. If the Stripes can't pull it out - and it looks all but impossible at this point - I hope Paisley has a come-from-behind surge and knocks Jon Bon off. Anything to keep that twerp from #1. BJ (I love calling them that) has had a streak of #2 albums since the early '90s, and if this one goes to #1 I think it'd be their first chart-topper since New Jersey in '88.

Basically, BJ are going to benefit from the same strategy that gave Jimmy Buffett his first-ever #1 album three years ago - add a handful of suburban-country fans while holding onto the bulk of your fanbase, and your record's a juggernaut.

I voted Paisley, but there should've been a "none" option, I wouldn't put it past Toby Keith to have a good 2nd week. Either way, with Bon Jovi pandering to the CMT crowd it's gonna be a country #1.
