God, why do you hate us so? If we made a human body out of all the music ever written, then Beethoven, Mozart and that lot would be the brain. The strong right arm would be made out of bits of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The speedy legs would be stitched together from pieces of Napalm Death, Slayer and Crazy Frog. We’d probably use U2 and Coldplay for the testicles. And Blink-182? We’re seeing them as the long, black hair sticking out of that suspicious mole on our back, that keeps annoying us by getting snagged when we put our shirt on.
Did you know that Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker had got back together? No? Do you know who Shanna Moakler is? No? Well shame on you. This is big news. How big? Former drummer of annoying pop-punk band splitting up with the wife he'd already divorced once a year ago big. That's as big as it gets. Probably. Anyway, Shanna Moakler has split up with Travis Barker for possibly the billionth time. Usually at this point we'd say it was the kids who we felt most sorry for, but it's not. It's us who we feel most sorry for. Us.
It's been a few weeks now since Travis Barker and DJ AM escaped from the horrifying plane crash that tragically killed four people. Between then and now, both Travis Barker and DJ AM have probably gone through more extremes of conflicting emotion than most of us could probably comprehend. And so, when Travis Barker finally decided to post his first message to his fans via his MySpace page since the crash, anticipation about what he'd write was strong. Would it be a cursory 'Hi everyone, I'm OK, thanks for the support' message, or would Travis Barker go into more excrutiating detail about the crash itself. Neither, as it happens. Instead, Travis Barker decided to slag his ex-wife Shannon Moakler off a bit. We get the feeling he'll be just fine.
Horrible news if you missed it - this weekend former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ Am were involved in a plane crash that killed four people. While it's a near miracle that Travis Barker and DJ AM - real name Adam Goldstein - weren't killed when their Learjet skidded off a runway in South Carolina on Friday night, the pair of them have suffered serious second- and third-degree burns. However, both Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to make full recoveries from their injuries. Meanwhile, investigators have claimed that a burst tyre prior to take-off my have led to the crash.
Sad news, folks,Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler are divorced.
Oh come on, you know who Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler are - he used to be in Blink 182 and she, um, she's Shanna Moakler. Anyway, even though Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler split up 18 months ago, they've only just got divorced. Still don't really know who either of them are? No, us neither really. Let's just pretend that we do, anyway. Ready?
Nope, still don't care about them.
Despite only disbanding as recently as 2005 (apparently), this trio of punk-pop muppets were really big in the year 1999, which led many to believe that a global technogical meltdown at the turn of the century would have been preferable to hearing All The Small Things one more time. Alas, it wasn't to be, and album Enema Of The State (do you see what they did there? Do you?) went on to sell approximately sixty million billion trillion copies the world over.
You'd think, then, that the Blinksters would be a relatively chilled-out bunch these days, happy to kick back and watch the odd royalty cheque pop through the letterbox. Unfortunately, you'd be quite massively wrong - because the band's former drummer Travis Barker is mightily pissed off about something and he wants the whole wide world to know it.
