ROCK AND ROLL THE VOTE (PART 2)

Because Gary Glitter is a convicted pedophile, and playing this song advocates improper kid touching, the New England Patriots are dropping "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" and looking for a new song. Here is the official voting ballot:

Which of the following do you think should be the new Touchdown song?

The 1812 - Overture
Ain't Talkin' Bout Love - Van Halen
Elevation - U2
Song 2 - Blur
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Yeah - Usher


The song will be "unveiled" at Gillette Stadium on 9/10 . . . if they score a TD (they're playing the Bills, so it's almost a foregone conclusion). I predict the winner will be AC/DC, with U2 as the dark horse (due to the deep Irish ties in Beantown). The Blur song seems like more of a hockey song, and I love that band Overture but I would have chosen their classic hit "William Tell".

In other news, the new Audioslave album, Revelations (9/5) is streaming on VH1.com. I'm not a big fan, and having seen both Soundgarden and RATM in concert, the whole is considerably less than the sum of its parts (or something to that effect). Chris Cornell still has the best voice in rock and roll today, I just wish he was using it to sing better songs.

I would have listened to the Audioslave album if they didn't insert someone saying "Hear music first on VH1.com" in the background every 30 seconds. Screw you!

I'd have thought the Song 2 chorus was a slam-dunk for a TD chant....you don't even have to be sober to get it 100% right!
