Just a guess, but in order to review something, doesn’t one have to have sampled it first? Like, restaurant reviewers go to the restaurant they are assigned to review, eat the food, and then comment on it. Movie critics watch films and then give their opinion. And so on …
Not so the music reviewers at Maxim magazine. Apparently, Maxim magazine employs music critics with special powers, such as the one who gives the Black Crowes’ “Warpaint” a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five in the March issue. The writer’s special power? He was able to review the CD without hearing it!
Incredulously, neither the writer nor the editor could have heard more than one song (the single “Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution”) because advance CDs were not made available.
According to the Black Crowes official website, when approached for an explanation, the magazine described the review as “an educated guess preview.”
Now, I haven’t read Maxim magazine, but, my “educated guess preview” is that it’s written, edited and published by a bunch of douchebags. I think Chris Robinson would agree.

Wow. How stupid can a store be? Pretty stupid, as demonstrated by the douchebags at Woolworth’s in London who thought it was a good idea to market a bed designed for 6-year-old girls as the “Lolita Midsleeper Combi” – a whitewashed wooden bed with a pull-out desk and cupboard. According to a spokesperson for Woolworth’s: “What seems to have happened is the staff who run the website had never heard of Lolita, and to be honest no one else here had either.” The chain withdrew the sale of the beds after outraged parents pointed out the name “Lolita” (which was the name of the 1955 novel by Nabokov in which the narrator has a sexual affair with his 12-year-old stepdaughter) was synonymous with sexually active pre-teen girls. Clearly the douchebags at Woolworth’s live under a rock.

Douchebags of the Day
Amy Johnson and her family just wanted a nice night out to dinner at their local Bob Evans restaurant in Maryland last Sunday. When Amy asked the host to seat them at a booth so she could breastfeed her 4-month-old baby, she was told by the host that it was against the law in the state of Maryland to breastfeed in public (which is completely untrue). Amy and the host argued back and forth in front of other waiting customers until Amy and her family finally left the restaurant, humiliated and embarrassed. Bob Evans restaurant eventually issued an apology, but what kind of douchebag prevents a mother from feeding her child?!

As many of you know, actor Brad Renfro passed away last week at the age of 25. His career showed promise and his talent shone through in his early movies The Client and Apt Pupil. Unfortunately he struggled with drugs and had what looked like a pretty crappy life. Bad enough his career never really took off and he freaking DIED last week - now E! News can’t even SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT in their televised tribute to him! I know there is a writer’s strike but get a fact checker for chrissakes.
