On, just a moment there. Jerry Cantrell and Alice In Chains are genious. Theast album was brilliant and I can’t wait for the upcoming release. What Jerry did with the band and his solo work is rock n roll legend.

The jump the shark moment ran through my head a bunch of times but that has been so played out that this seemed much more fitting although the same concept applies here. There is something about the untouchable hair rocker ego that got put into check (as well as Michael Jackson’s) back in 91-92..that Obama is not and has not learned from history very well at all. America gets burned out on B.S., glitz, and glam after awhile and at the end of the day they want substance.

The Hair Band analogy is spot on. Being an 80s metalhead I remember it all too well.

And it happened so damn fast. That’s the kicker. All the media of the time...Circus, Hit Parader, even RS were all gung ho on hair metal (RS less than the rest) and the Headbangers Ball Ruled MTV. Fashion trends, commercials, comedy, movies...lots of Hair, good time party stuff everywhere. And then Nirvana hit and poof...lumberjack clothes, depression everywhere and the rest.

Now granted, the music had ran it’s course and the whole thing became a parody of itself...

...Just like Hope and change.

History repeats.

Now Obama has been told by his agent, his manager, and the tour promoter

Great analogy! However, while I was reading, the above sentence confused me for a moment. I was sure it said "teleprompter" instead of "tour promoter".

I'll give you Cantrell and Chains except for Man In A Box.

The band left this fraud a while ago and now we are left with Milli Vanilla or an awful Karate rendition of “Just one more time”.

I totally understand the analogy, but I actually think the Grunge music sucked and was depressing, while the Hair music was fun to listen to. The hair band fans partied too hard and did too much sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll, the grunge band fans on the other hand were too depressed and suicidal.

I mean, I just assumed this was great WSJ work, or even a snippet of some Mark Steyn.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Love Shack". With BO on lead vocals and MO backing him up.
