Once again, the gullible saps over at AOL's Spinner.com have paid me to write a feature that's essentially indistinguishable from the kind of stuff I do here...for free. And literally millions of people are going to look at it! So be one of the first to check out "ROCK'S HARDEST PARTIERS."
Unfortunately, although it's the first one I wrote from beginning to end, it's also the first one for which I receive absolutely no credit. I am simply labeled "Spinner staff." I can't even sell out properly. A devastating blow to my vanity, to be sure, but I need the cash. And in the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that there was a small (albeit understandable) amount of revenue-motivated editorial "guidance" when it came to who made the list. In other words, Poison wasn't my idea. Also, with regards to the highly exploitative nature of the subject material and the attendant glorification of self destructive behaviors, I can only say the following:
1. The feature was originally called "ROCK'S MOST NOTORIOUS PARTIERS," which implies at least some level of moral responsibility.
2. You should probably lighten up a little.
