Z100′s Zootopia.

HA. Okay, get this - if you live in the tri-state, you might listen to Z100. I don't, but the woman does, and the mornings have been a constant struggle between stupid Z100 and my choice, Stern. I was too busy this morn to make the usual dial changes after she took off, and just left it on. When they got done interviewing Ruben Idol Bear, a contest ran for the lucky 100th caller to win front row seats to their 'Zootopia' show. I happened to have the phone with me at the time, and the rest is history. I won the tickets.

Now course, my first instincts were to SELL SELL SELL. These ticks, easily, are worth 700 bucks or higher. Unfortunately, I have to pick 'em up like an hour before the show, so trying to hock 'em wouldn't work out. Looks like I'm going -- check out the lineup:

Featuring: Aerosmith, TLC, Mariah Carey, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard from American Idol, Jewel, Third Eye Blind, Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup, Wayne Wonder, Tanto Metro & Devonte, Daniel Bedingfield, JC Chasez, Ginuwine, Special Guest Host: Britney Spears and Lisa Marie Presley.

Haaaaa....me going to this kind of concert is like Satan going to Gap Kids to buy lacy baby panties. Whatever, it's still fun to WIN WIN WIN. Maybe Steve Tyler will spit on me. Oh well, if we're allowed to snap pics, I'll try to get some embarassing shots for you guys. Embarassing shots of famous tits and, uh, 'Ja Rule.'

Anyway, today's article might not be up till early Saturday, but I'll try to have it up sometime this afternoon.

Hmmm. Let me check the line-up again:

Aerosmith: What in the blue HELL are they doing on this card?

TLC: Only group I can stand on this card.

Mariah Carey: She is hot. So you can just ogle her and ignore her crappy music.

Ja Rule: AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! NOT HIM!

Ashanti: She’s hot but she sucks singing live. Unfortnaley, expect her and Ja Suck to do one of their irritating and annoying duets together so it is going to be TWICE the pain! Oy.

Kelly Clarkson: Ugh.

Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard from American Idol: DOUBLE UGH.

Jewel: Well, she now has a new slutty look so expect to ogle her also. Cover your ears though to drown out her crappy music.

Third Eye Blind: I like "Semi-Charmed Kind of Life" and think they are an okay band. But what the hell are they doing in this card? They haven’t released an album in years!

Simple Plan: Blah. Lame MTV punk-wannabe band.

Bowling For Soup: Another blah. Just one of these lame punk-wannabe bands. Add in Blink 182 and Good Charlotte and the circle of suck is complete.

Wayne Wonder: I hate reggae music.

Tanto Metro & Devonte: Once again, I hate reggae music.

Daniel Bedingfield: Lame.

JC Chasez: Lame.

Ginuwine: Lame. Again.

Special Guest Host: Britney Spears and Lisa Marie Presley: Oh dear.

I feel sorry for you Matt. You are going to endear this cavacade of crap for about 2 hours. Still, remain strong and who knows, you just might get an article out of this crap.

On the bright side, you won’t have to hear Justin Timberlake, Nelly, any boybands, 50 Cent, and anything else normally heard on Z100.

Just do a favor for me, when Ja Rule comes onstage…BOO HIM!!! BOO THE HELL OUT OF THAT NO TALENT HACK!!! Do it for one of your loyal fans please!!!

p.s.-I hate mainstream music…except for Avril Lavigne.

haha no plex but it’s just funny to me that people who sit around reading articles about he man toys and hulk pudding seem so snobby about their music.

not that these artists are particularly great but damn there’s alot of mainstream music out there that’s listenable, u don’t even like norah jones? what kinda stuff are yall listenin to?

Chestnuts roasted by photocdclub.com @ 05/24/2003 8:40 AM

Iron Maiden’s "Rhime of the Ancient Mariner", on repeat, all day.

That’s what I listen to.

Chestnuts roasted by Ed Franklin @ 05/24/2003 12:22 PM

I listen specifically to nothing but Bad Religion. My car has no CD or tape player, just the radio, so you know what I do? I leave it OFF. I have absolutely no patience for mainstream music. I don’t even know who Ashanti or Ja Rule are, but they probably do suck, based on y’all’s comments on their suckiness.

"Congrats" on winning, Matt.

Also, since "American Idol" was mentioned here, this is still somewhat on-topic. My dream in life, until I turned 26 and became too old to enter, was to audition, and since my singing voice isn’t too awful, have them vote 2-1 for me to go to L.A.(the guy who always says "dawg" votes against me), and me thank them profusely, but I never show up, so they’ll always wonder.

Damn, that was one long-ass sentence.

Chestnuts roasted by Travis @ 05/24/2003 1:11 PM

alright matt, several things. first, I feel your pain, that music sucks. second, who are your favorite bands? third YOU CANNOT BE AN INNOCENT PICTURE TAKER AT THIS KIND OF EVIL! ACTION MUST BE TAKEN! I suggest either some shamless promotion of x-e, advertisments to fint mr biter, or just anti-pop slogans designed to humiliate everyone watching the show!

and ed franklin, the biggest band I’ve ever opend for was The Huntingtons. not that you care, but I’m proud of it.

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 05/24/2003 1:25 PM

Eww. Captain America shield on the way. Why? He sucks. If there was ever a well-known lame hero, he’s the one. Somehting about giving villains a bull’s eye.

Not that I ever really got into comics, but I still know that they could do better. Like Wolverine Claws. Or even Cyclops’ Visor.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 05/24/2003 1:25 PM

Cyclops’ Visor?

Just go steal a pair of Blu Blockers off some old hag’s face, then spray paint them red.

Chestnuts roasted by Ed Franklin @ 05/24/2003 1:36 PM

it seems to me that God has Bless you or Cursed you with these tickets i mean they are like front row seat an shit but do you really wanna put up with a Micky mouse club reunion???

Chestnuts roasted by CheebaSmoker @ 05/24/2003 1:58 PM

All I’m saying is that the visor would still be better than a stupid shield from Captain America.

And I love those Granny shades. I pretend that they’re evil robots trying to look human (which is not always far from the truth).

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 05/24/2003 4:19 PM

damn i would never think but those marvel helmets actually kinda fly!!

i wouldn’t mind rockin one of them like in the corner of the room or somethin, haha people come in the crib see that be like ‘what tha f–’??

how much do those cost tho?

Chestnuts roasted by photocdclub.com @ 05/24/2003 5:39 PM

Hmm. Well, congrats Matt. Can’t say I’m entirely jealous, since I’d likely plug my ears, but Lisa Marie’s hosting — get her to answer three questions and there’s your article right there. You could even pull an entire article out of one question, provided it’s that one. Your first two are throwaways, really, to lure her into a false sense of security, and then ZOWIE! that one. You know what I mean. And if you proposition Britney while your woman (Dana?) holds the digicam and uses the mpeg capture function, I’d certainly enjoy a video download of your ass getting "Speared". I’d explain that further, but I think I’ll leave it vague — as is, it works on multiple levels, and yes, all of them were intended. Enjoy!

Chestnuts roasted by Wes @ 05/24/2003 8:39 PM

If Britney farts in the woods and no one is around to hear it does it really smell?

Chestnuts roasted by derek @ 05/24/2003 10:23 PM

Man, Bowling for Soup used to kick ass. They are from Dallas and I can remember going to their shows when something like 10 other people would show up.

Chestnuts roasted by Ugnaughts rule! @ 05/25/2003 12:23 PM

i still think simple plan is hilarious. bunch of whiney kids from montreal. can’t get any more annoying than that.

actually, they came here once and played a free show, which is fucking insane because no one ever comes here [although that's changing it looks like. bad religion (ick. punk.) was here a few weeks ago, and sparta is supposedly coming], and STILL i couldn’t be bothered to go. that tells ya’ something.

Chestnuts roasted by evin @ 05/25/2003 1:40 AM

thats not his shield, Cap’s shield is ROUND I TELL YOU ROUND!
how else do you think he chucks it like a frisbee :-D

Chestnuts roasted by Pointing out mistakes that only 2 or three people care about @ 05/25/2003 4:39 AM

Having something against Montréal?
need i say "Godspeed you! black emperor" ?

and Matt, i don’t know if you are lucky or cursed but that’s going to be funny reading about that show. I’ve heard that britney takes it up the ass humm :)

Chestnuts roasted by Porn pieces or the scars of cold kisses @ 05/25/2003 4:46 AM

yeah I’ll admit it I"m a closet Aerosmith fan but when I’ve seen them they really catre to the audience their. Like I saw them in the middle of nowwhere at some out door concert with the crowd being mostly over 25 and they rocked out pretty good and didn’t do any pop shit, then of course I saw them once in Minneapolis and the crowd consisted of teenages and well it sucked. Thing is really no matter how good or bad a band is if you can’t have a good time with the audience around it isn’t going to be all that great. Like Family values tour there have been a couple bands on the tour that I’ve seen seperate then once I get around all the anoying teenages it just ruins the show. Oh well.

Chestnuts roasted by edthacow @ 05/25/2003 7:10 AM

Wow. America gets Daniel Bedingfield? What an ugly joke-tard, second only to Robbie Williams in failing US crossover lameness. I hear EMI put 5,000,000 copies of Robbie’s new album in US record stores. Sales so far are less than 40,000 after three or four weeks. hahaha…

Chestnuts roasted by cheven @ 05/25/2003 10:10 AM

Holy crap… Bowling for Soup rules.

I WANT TO GO I LOVE DANIEL BEDINGFIELD WITH MY PEEPEE :’(
i wish i had been listening when you won. that wouldve been kool.

Chestnuts roasted by hi @ 05/25/2003 4:48 PM

Actually, that is Cap’s shield. It’s the original one he used back in the 30′s to beat on Nazis with. I don’t think he threw it like a frisbee in those days.

Chestnuts roasted by One of the 2 or three other people that care @ 05/25/2003 6:11 PM

He learnt to do that after seeing back to the future 3 :o )

Chestnuts roasted by Porn pieces or the scars of cold kisses @ 05/25/2003 9:55 PM

Nothing is truly free. They’ll be selling bottled water for $5 or some other ungodly amount. In the time it takes to sit through all these bands how many bottles will you have to buy to avoid dehydration? It’s a conspiracy, man…
