Secondly, the real reason I can't ever like Bryan Adams (and really, there's nothing wrong with "All For Love"): Ill Will once told me, well over 15 years ago, about the legendary Bryan Adams. I even written about it several times. Basically, one day back in '95, I was chilling with Ill Will in his apartment (back in the PJs behind... Lincoln Center! That's right, shot out to the Amsterdam Houses, ya'll), and he busts out a mix tape of stuff he recorded off the radio.
Ill Will: "Yo, you got to hear this sh*t!"
He's got a big grin on his face, and can barely contain his laughter. I can tell right away he ain't throwing on some new hotness... nope, this is going to be some farcical sh*t.
Sure, enough, he throws on Bryan Adams' Spanish language version of "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)". It was one of the most horrific butchering of Spanish I've ever heard, and I've been to DR many times (oh snap!).
Okay, enough ado already... check it out for yourselves - I looked it up on You Tube, and found it:
I'll let you be the judge - should Canadians (with apologies to Skeets & Tas, DJM, and Jeff Wong) ever be allowed to sing in Spanish?

Speaking of music artists in Spanish.. The Marathon Man dropped this e-mail on us:
Wu-Tang Clan: Building cultural bridges since 1992.
For real, they’re like the United Nations for weed
carriers. They even have that one white guy who hangs out with Theodore
Unit.

Brief note of interest: after waiting weeks for Deadspin's daily "Media Approval Ratings" to do tackle Mike Lupica, they finally got around to it today, when I've been swamped and catching up on things. Never the less, it's um, very revealing. Having done over 50 of these already, including some really loathsome media types, guess where Lupica came in? Yep, dead last, with less than 8.2% out of nearly 1,900 votes approving of Lupica. Talk about a guy who should have hung it up a long time ago... Mike, take a hint. The quicker you disappear, the faster everyone forgets about the bad, leaving only the good (like the 70's and 80's) behind.

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/

But if Lupica hangs it up, what will happen to StopMikeLupica.com? You'd be the Artist Formerly Known as SML:)
