Gold Teefs

The last time that I went to PrideFest (when I didn't have to because of employment responsibilities) my friends and I giddily traipsed off one hot June afternoon to go see headliner Joan Jett.

I was way-wicked tickled. See, I Love Rock and Roll was the first 45 I remember buying with my own money. For the younger set, I guess I should explain that 45's were like CD singles and for the much younger set (leave immediately after this condescension) 45's were like an iTune, except that you got two songs per purchase.

Anyway, Joan Jett fucking rocked!

That's why the news today that International Recording Artist Ari Gold will be performing at this year's event left me feeling a little.....um.....how should I say this.....underwhelmed. Listen, Ari has great pit hair, and shows a lot of it in his publicity photos, but his music reminds me too much of when David tried winning Donna back by breaking out the slow jamz junior year.

For those of you who didn't understand that reference (what are they teaching the children?), David, is also known as actor, rapper, and has-been Brian Austin Green. Following his success on 90210, he produced some compelling work of his own.

I've been sitting here tonight listening to Ari's album (while admiring his pit hair) and the pits just don't make up for the lack of hits.*

I'll leave it to you to draw your own conclusions, I just need to find someone to draw an interested look on my face come June.

Brian Austin Green - Homey
Ari Gold - Homo
