Trivia Art made an appearance on Throwdown with Bobby Flay last night. Things went pretty smoothly until the 1:49 mark, when Art says of the sandwich, “It was an explosion of taste in my mouth.” Needless to say, he will not live that line down for the remainder of his natural life. It is, without question, my favorite TV moment since Bill Henley told Miss America that she had a nice box. Next time you see Art, be sure to tell him that seeing him on TV was like an explosion of taste in your mouth.

Remember in Middle School, when you heard that Guns ‘N’ Roses were coming out with a new album, Chinese Democracy, and you just knew it was going to kick ass? And remember how now you are in your 30s and it’s been 10 years since you drank six shots of whiskey in a half hour while listening to Use Your Illusion II? Yeah, well anyways, now that you’re old and have children and thought that the latest Kenny G album was “satisfactory, if a little overproduced”, I have news: Guns n’ Roses is coming out with a new album called Chinese Democracy.
Ken Jennings Rocks
![]()
Ken Jennings is listing his favorite bands in each state, and I gotta admit, I’m amazed at how many good bands Ken Jennings knows. In Pennsylvania it’s the Roots, and in New York he throws out Public Enemy but gives it to Velevet Underground. Then he makes a call that really makes me think that he and I are two peas in a pod: Virginia: Okay, I’ll be damned if I’m going to put Phish and Dave Matthews Band right in a row. Screw you, jam bands. Does the Carter Family count? Fine, GWAR then. GWAR could chew Dave Matthews up and spit him out. Now, I don’t really like GWAR, but the fact that he gave it to a somewhat obscure heavy metal band over the dreadful DMB gets MAJOR props from me. He also gave Connecticut to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, who I think are a bit overrated but still think it’s amazing that a Mormon from the middle of nowhere has heard of them.
In Florida, I disagree (Skynard over Tom Petty in my book), but am impressed that he trashes the garbage from there. Florida is clearly the First State of Sucky Bands. Creed, Matchbox Twenty, Limp Bizkit…and that’s before I even get to the boy bands.
In Hawaii, he goes with Pepper, which is wow. I am amazed that he’s heard of them. They are from Kona (the town I lived in), and I saw them live once with about 25 other people. This is like seeing your buddies high school band getting props from Ken Jennings.
In Maryland he goes with Good Charlotte, but is quick to point out that they are the only group from Maryland he’s ever heard of.
All in all, a pretty impressive list. (Stumbled onto via D-Mac.)
Today in the Metro

Today’s column is on one of the most fascinating (and underrated) people of the 20th century, Paul Robeson. Hard to do him justice in 350 words, so I heartily suggest you do some more reading about him.
