This Friday has been declared Music That Kicks Ass Night. We're kicking it off with one of the most kick-ass songs of all time. The Pretenders with 'Middle of the Road.' I've seen The Pretenders a long time ago at the State Theater in Detroit and this song grabs you by the front of your shirt, yanks you out of your seat and makes you wanna ROCK SO HARD.
When you own a big chunk
of the bloody Third World
the babies just come with the scenery
C'mon now

Friday night Fun - Elvis Costello
No Music That Kicks Ass Night would be complete without a dose of early Elvis Costello. PUMP IT UP!
Hell-bent or heaven-sent?
Hell-bent or heaven-sent?
Friday night Fun - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Music That Kicks Ass Night concludes with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (and one of Trixie's all-time favorites) 'American Girl.' We were appalled tonight to discover that Taylor Swift has covered the song but we're going to put that aside and let Tom P. present it with his usual and never duplicated kick-assery...
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was
an American Girl
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was
an American Girl

CCC: Napervillain motorist goes cuckoo
Chicks Committing Crimes: Here's a scenario motorists encounter nearly every day. You're driving along, minding your own business and up ahead you see a couple of bicyclists also sharing the road. The street may be a little tight, but a good motorist understands that you need to maneuver around them to give them room or if that's not immediately possible you need to slow down and hang back until you can safely do so. It might be a pain in the tuckus but a good motorist understands no matter how much of a pain the cyclist may be or how late you are running, your car can be a deadly weapon so you have to be courteous.
Well, Naperville resident Mary Ann Rehm must have missed the courtesy train because she decided to take matters into her own hands. Or rather, a bicycle into the grill of her car, according to the Naperville Sun.
Rehm was traveling northbound of Jefferson Street on Monday when she encountered two cyclists in the road. This charm school dropout allegedly grew impatient then freaked and instead of giving way she accelerated. The 17-year-old cyclist, Jereme Peterson, describes it this way: he recounted how he suddenly found "a car behind me, and it started beeping (its horn) and stuff. Then the lady floored it — intentionally floored it — and I jumped off the bike, and she hit it," Peterson told The Sun near the crash scene.
It was initially believed the bike became entangled with and dragged beneath the car, although a Sun reader claimed Tuesday to have been sitting on his or her front porch and seeing the driver "flying past from Fifth Avenue onto Ellsworth (Street) with the bicycle firmly attached to the front of her car."
Rehm faces Class 3 felony charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery in a public place, court records indicated. Bond was set Tuesday at $100,000. She was released after posting $10,000 bail, and is scheduled to appear Aug. 24 for a preliminary hearing in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton.

Let's Go Crazy
No, seriously, it's the song "Let's Go Crazy" but it is not by who you might think.
I challenge you not to get up and dance your ass off!

It's just like it sounds
Stick damages car:
Vehicle damage: About 11:44 p.m., large stick thrown and dented passenger-side rear quarter panel of vehicle at 621 S. Wright St.
Hey, we're not New Jersey where apparently everyone in public office is crooked as a, well, New Jersey politician.
Makes Illinois look saintly by comparison.
