With all due hardness. Friday, January 30, 2009. Secretly Great: Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me". About a year ago, I promised to one day explain why I think that "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is a truly, genuinely brilliant song. That day has come. And get up and dance and make devil horns, they are enjoying the song ironicall. Y: they like it because they feel that they're better than the song, and.

Rock'n' roll is an attitude, it's not a musical form of a strict sort. It's a way of doing things, of approaching things. Writing can be rock 'n' roll, or a movie can be rock 'n' roll. It's a way of living your life. Middot; Let it Blurt, The Life and Times of Lester Bangs.

The Opinionated Musical Emporium: From the Stage to the Headphones. Wednesday, April 06, 2011. The April issue of Chicago Innerview. Is now available online.

It gave me a sense of the guy and his feelings towards the musical scene he grew up in. Colin Newman: Probably not being like any of the above (insert smiley face).
