Hey, remember the '80s? 

I bet you do, because these days it's being shoved down everybody's throats. Don't get me wrong; I liked the '80s. I even watched both chapters of "I Love the '80s," and I think the Killers album is one of the best in years. But the trend has snowballed beyond our control; when My Chemical Romance and the Used are teaming up on a cover of "Under Pressure" (by the way, that worked for David Bowie and Queen because he was a solo act; what, are both drummers playing on the thing?) and Ashlee Simpson tells MTV she's really into '80s music right now and thinks her next album will head that direction, and when Kelli Osborne's new single sounds like pre-Take My Breath Away Berlin (and even I didn't know what that sounded like until I saw the VH1 Bands Reunited special last year), then things have gone too far.

In other news, Head is still trying to convert 50 Cent. And Maynard from Tool and A Perfect Circle supposedly "found Jesus," but then it turned out to be a prank. Shame; I bet Maynard and Head tag-teaming could have gotten Fifty into the fold. Or at least the Game.
