THIS WEEK'S 10 HIGHEST RATED COMMENTS

Fan of neither, but "you guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music right?" is a 40 lb wheel of munster.

I can't imagine Ted Cruz listening to Talking Heads but then again I can't imagine Ted Cruz listening to anything. I think he just goes home and stares at a wall until he's called to supper.

"Tore her apart" is actually putting it mildly. Apparently, more than a few of them sent her death and rape threats, which is not at all an unhinged way to tweet at a teenage girl. 😑

But hey, they're the fanbase with all the friendship bracelets!

Look, you can have shit politics and good music (looking at you black metal), good politics and shit music, but you cannot have shit politics and shit music - Abe Lincoln, probably

A testament both to the power of addiction and the unimaginable depths of Dr. Drew's inefficacies.

This is just like when Sisqo's "Incomplete" hit number one and the song of the summer "Thong Song" peaked at number three. Years later we again have failed as a society to get the artist a number one with their most memorable song.

I could easily be wrong here, but two things make me think Grohl's comment was real:

1) A few weeks ago, his daughter Violet criticized Taylor on social media for her (over)use of private jets, suggesting she could drive more often. Swifties mercilessly tore her apart, to the point that she deleted her social media.

2) Grohl is also friendly with Billie Eilish. Reminder: Eilish was in line to have a #1 album debut, but Taylor dropped another vinyl variant of Poets (another in a line of approximately 45 different vinyl variants) that pushed her back over the top. Taylor did the same thing to Charli XCX the following week.

I can't speak for him, but I think Grohl is sick of Taylor's shit.

"Future backwards is R U TUF" is the type of Maya-rrific nonsense I would have excused in 2008 over a 160bpm Switch beat

I like to imagine that somewhere there's a dude named MJ Rockerman working as a loan officer at a bank, and it turns out him and MJ Lenderman were actually switched at birth.
