“Most of those songs were made to be wussy–a quarter of them are bubblegum pop. I’d be more impressed if they came up with a list of songs that had every intention of being tough but ended up being soft.”
Good point Kim. Your theoretical list would almost certainly have this at #1.
One thing that has always bothered me about the Transformers is that Optimus Prime’s trailer seems to disappear whenever he transforms. Where does it go? Also, Orson Welles (in his final film role) played the voice of Unicron, a giant hungry planet, in Transformers the Movie. If an actor of similar stature gets involved in Michael Bay’s movie, who should it be? Brando’s out, so who’s on deck? Nicholson? Beatty? Is Charles Nelson Reilly a pipe dream?
Ray LaMontagne is Transformers, James Blunt is Gobots.
Saetia is Transformers, Story of the Year is Gobots.
Subway is Transformers, McDonald’s is Gobots.
Radiohead is Transformers, Athlete is Gobots.
Pitchfork Media is Transformers, MTV is Gobots.
Scott, as author of the first of your favorite quotes, i’m afraid i’m not Anton lol also, I know Clapton wrote Tears in Heaven for his dead son who fell out of a hotel window, but just listen to it! Jesus… I mean i have plenty of questionable songs, but that’s king of the wuss for me lol

Good God what did you just make me watch?
as would David Hasselhoff’s “The Night Rocker.”
I LOVE the Transformers movie. And resent strongly the implication that Stan Bush is wussy. I mean, “Dare” is a great song.

Uhh…”Tears in Heaven” was written after Clapton’s son died. I think by definition that makes it not wussy.

Thanks. Anything I can do to point out AOL’s simple flaws, I do.
Wow… thanks for unearthing that. I always thought the original was by Sammy Haggar?
Whenever I hear someone mention Michael Bay, all I can think of is that Team America song where they just diss Pearl Harbour.

gobots? are you fucking kidding me?
transformers > gobots
class dismissed.
a wise friend breaks down everything into gobots/transformers…coke is transformers, pepsi is gobots. wwf is transformers, wcw is gobots. and so on.
“i was a gobots boy”
so what you’re saying is, you were poor.
jesus christ. GOBOTS? seriously?
that had better be an attempt at humor somehow.
