ARTIST: Dr. Hook
TITLE: On the Cover of Rolling Stone

Well we are big rock singers, we’ve got golden fingers
And we’re loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

{Refrain}
Rolling Stone
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Rolling Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Rolling Stone
Wanna see my smilin’ face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

I’ve got a freaky old lady name o’ Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I’ve got my poor old gray-haired Daddy
Drivin’ my limousine
Now it’s all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won’t really be blown
Like the blow that’ll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

{Refrain}

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru
He’s teachin’ us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin’ richer but we can’t get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

{Refrain}

There are many people who think Rock is some sort of golden thing that not everyone can touch. But the real world outside of that bubble doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have anything to do what those snobs think of rock. And thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s why bands like Nickelback, even if so hated, have tons of success, because they make music for the masses and everyone, and not music for a small group of people who think they are better and superior than all the rest.</blockquote> Bravo. My sentiments exactly. Those rock snobs can go crawl back under their rocks. No pun intended. Seriously, f that. Rock is a huge genre that encompasses all sorts of rock music. To try to limit it and decide what is "real rock" or "pure rock" sounds like the Nazis trying to maintain the pure race, or some religion that thinks they are the only ones who know the way to God. Seriously, talk about pretentious.

That being said, I haven't watched a single Danny interview since the end of the show (I have avoided them like the plague).

I am sick of the AT&T nonsense. Don't really want to read anything else Danny Gokey has to say, ever, am a little tired of the press still pushing Adam, and even more tired of the same press not giving Kris the respect that he is due. There was a nice article on Kris in this week's People and another one in this week's US magazine. I bought both magazines strictly for the articles on Kris Allen. I am looking forward to the issue of EW that will feature an article on Kris as well. Some of these articles posted here are downright insulting to Kris and to his fans and of course do not provide an opportunity for feedback. Okay, this a depressing bunch of press stuff.
