Who Had The Craziest Awards Show Hair?

Last night, the The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) held their 25th Annual Pop Music Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. And if there's one thing easily noticed about the evening's attendees... it's that they've got the craziest haircuts! So, now the question comes to you: Who of the following people who we've never really heard of, out-crazy-haired the others? Here are your choices: A. Verdine White. Never, during my many times of "jammin' out" to Earth, Wind & Fire, did I realize that their bassist had such silky and luxurious locks. Nor did I realize he was a figure made out of wax. (cue chimes) The More You Know! B. Desmond Child. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my distinct pleasure to be able to feature the man, the legend, behind the only song possibly more annoying than the IO Digital Cable Jam, known as "Livin' La Vida Loca." He also wrote songs with Meatloaf, most likely with some in his mouth and possibly also the man. I will say this: Any man who was a part of the following band "Desmond Child & Rouge" is still quite fabulous, even if he kind of looks like Penn Jillette with an outrageous skinny beard. The Insane Awards Show Hair Continues After the Jump... and let us know where your vote stands in the comments. C. The All-American Rejects. Many people ask "What's In a Name?" In the case of the All-American Rejects, it's "Hair & Facial Expressions." The irony is that while their hair looks like it would smell like cheddar cheese, it most likely smells like the inside of Crabtree and Evelyn's a-hole, i.e. flowery and delicious. D. Danny "Styles" Schofield. If Princess Leia were black, and also bald, she would be Danny "Styles" Schofield (catchphrase: "The 'Styles' Stands for 'Styles-ish'") Danny heads up a Miami-based hip-hop group known as Purple Popcorn, which is surprisingly adorable sounding for a man with a billiard ball in the front, and a dreaded party in the back. And his beard is like the Mobius Str

Presidential Candidates Aren’t Allowed To Have Guilty Pleasures On Their iPods

A "What's on Barack Obama's iPod" article? Come onnnnn, something embarrassing... Bob Dylan. Yo-Yo Ma. Sheryl Crow. Jay-Z. These aren't musical acts in a summer concert series: They're artists featured on Barack Obama's iPod. "I have pretty eclectic tastes," the Democratic presidential contender said in an interview to be published in Friday's issue of Rolling Stone. Growing up in the '70s, Obama said, he listened to the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Earth, Wind & Fire. Stevie Wonder is his musical hero from the era. The Stones' "Gimme Shelter" tops his favorites from the band. Aw come on, dude -- Rolling Stones, Dylan, and Stevie Wonder? Where's the token guilty pleasure admission?? And not some fake "oh my God I'm sooo embarrassed" guilty pleasure like Journey or The Cars or the song "Since U Been Gone" or something everyone likes, I mean a real, soul-revealing, humanizing, clinch-the-music-nerd-vote-with-your-honesty guilty pleasure. Could you imagine if Obama was like, "I enjoy Earth Wind & Fire, Jay-Z, and you know what? I really feel like Billy Joel's River of Dreams album got a bad rap. I don't know, I just really kind of enjoy it." Or, "I've been listening 'Gimmie Shelter' a lot lately, but I've also been hooked on 'Long Way Down' by the Goo Goo Dolls, it came on my Shuffle last week and I was like 'whaaaat?' but it really took me back, I don't know, I kinda like it." I guess if we've learned anything from this article, we now know that Shuffling Toward the Weekend has disqualified all of us from running for president.
