According to Rolling Stone Magazine's April cover, Kings of Leon are "America's hottest band" right now. After seeing them live this past Saturday at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, I'd have to agree. Oh, and who does Rolling Stone think they are putting a Rock 'n Roll band, let alone a good band, on their cover? Are people not into The Hills, Britney, or Lindsay Lohan any more? Or worse, do all those people who like that crap like Kings of Leon? Is this good or bad? Shit, I've been known to watch The Hills myself. Am I pop culture puppet whose likes and dislikes are masterfully controlled by the mass media or am I a hip and "with it" guy who uses all the resources that are available to him to decide for himself what is actually worthy art and entertainment? You can't hate on things just because they're popular or you liked them before they got huge. So what if you have to endure 20,000 drunk high school kids and frat boys when you go to see one of your favorite bands? Don't you want them to make money so they can keep making music? Wait a second, this isn't what I wanted to talk about at all. Or is it?

Rating: Like the old photographs that were once painful to glance at, but now, with a little closure, serve as a warm blanket in lonely nights.

Our hope is that one day this questionnaire will be as famous as the bullshit questionnaire that James Lipton asks at the end of 'Inside the Actors' Studio'. One of us here at Steve's Word will be answering these questions every Monday morning. We encourage you to submit your own responses, because honestly, enough about us already. 

- What about the previous work week were you most looking forward to getting away from?

I didn't work at all this week and only returned from the inauguration on Wednesday afternoon. I guess what I was most looking forward to was not travelling. In the month of January I was in St. Louis, Las Vegas, and D.C. Now I know that I could never be a rock star.
