Timothy McSweeney Eats Bacon From A Can

If you haven't ever checked out this site, there are some hysterical and thought-provoking essays on various topics here. One of my favorites is the completely funny take on Bon Jovi's Wanted. One of the regulars, Dan Kennedy, wrote a funny essay called I WONDER WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IN BON JOVI'S PRECONCERT PRAYER CIRCLE Made me laugh out loud.

Give it a read.

I'll bet you like it, too.

My favorite part:

We appreciate you taking the time to do that back in 1983, when you had so much stuff on your desk. I remember that the musical Annie was closing on Broadway that year; it was in basically every single newspaper in the city every day, it seemed like. And I remember thinking that maybe the only prayers about arts and entertainment that you would be listening to would be that cast's prayer circles before they went on each night, but you tuned them out and instead focused on steering this man named Richie Sambora toward me here on Earth because you knew it was more important that I get a rippin' guitar player early on so I could form this band and we could start making our way to the top. The U.S. Embassy in Beirut was bombed that year, too, so I know you had tons of stuff going on and were really busy, so I'm just sayin' I appreciate your making kick-ass lead guitar a priority in '83.

I say, AMEN lol
