It made him look like a toupee was sliding off the back of his head. Think he'll re-grow it this summer? Nah, doubt he can anymore. And how did Method Man & RZA get away with the blatant Hall & Oates "M-E-T-H-O-D" lift without giving them a co-write? I guess the Wu-Tang Clan really ain't nothin' to f**k with...

Great work, as always.Posting the video for "You're the Inspiration" allows me to once again ask The Great Unanswered Question: why is Peter Cetera wearing a Bauhaus t-shirt in the video? Maybe with all the synths and drumpads in the video, Chicago were looking for some post-punk edge...And speaking of Bauhaus t-shirts in odd places--and future Chart Attacks--Donnie Wahlberg wears one in the New Kids on the Block's "The Right Stuff" video. Once is an aberration, twice is a motif--what does it mean??? Chart attack=crazy awesome. Great work, as always.
