The Day The Music Died II: Russell Crowe disbands 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7269201/

Looks like Russell Crowe’s band is no more. The Oscar-winning actor had received mixed reviews when he sang for a band called 30 Odd Foot of Grunts — but a lengthy, punctuation-challenged message purportedly from Crowe himself lets fans know that he has a new album coming out.

“what you possibly won’t be pleased about,nor understand fully until you hear this record,is that tofog would seem to have dissolved/evolved,” according to the message posted on several Crowe fan sites. (For the sake of artistic authenticity, we haven’t cleaned up the punctuation.) “while that holds certain disappointments,they pale in comparison to the joy of writing unrestricted,of talking from my heart and mind simultaneously about things that are important to me now,right now,in this time of my life,not when I was younger or dare I say it less world weary/wary,but now, as a 41 year old father/husband/lover/man.”

Crowe gives the album, which will be released April 19, a rave review “this record is fresh,relavatory and graceful”—and pleads with fans to pay for it, noting that the iTunes release “is an important first step to finding a home for this record. please be cool about giving up your two bucks and not file sharing.”

2. That band is awful.
Or was awful, rather.

3. Sure he's full of it -- or maybe just himself . . .
But it comes with the territory.

4. 30 Odd Foot of Grunts is okay
But they don't have the timeless quality of, say, your "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner and Garcia or "Sugar-Sugar" by the Archies.

6. Wouldn't even bother getting the file free off of p2p
Hardly worth the effort to even write this post.

9. He'll need two more livers in order to do that
Besides I think he can take those two Gallahger dingbats.
