Art Imitates Life

I'm not sure if you can call Motley Crue art, but for the purpose of this post, we're gonna say it is. They played D.C. on Sunday, and felt right at home.

Tommy Lee, the reliably shirtless drummer for Motley Crue, was very
unhappy with the women of Washington on Sunday night....the endlessly
tattooed Lee aimed a video camera into the near-capacity MCI Center
crowd and demanded that female fans flash their support for the recently
reunited headbangers.

[...]

Bassist Nikki Sixx quickly tried to broker a deal: Maybe if Lee showed
his naughty bits first? "It's not like you haven't seen it before,"
Sixx chuckled to the audience.

Of course! Most of the women in D.C. are pretty classy, with the exception of some of those naughty interns. It's the men, that all the scandals usually revolve around. Like, I don't know.... Jeff Gannon, maybe?

For those expecting a more enriching level of discourse during the
two-hour-plus show: Wow, were you in the wrong building.

Like, the confirmation hearings for Gonzales?

Democrat: Do you condone torture
Gonzales: No
Democrat: Yes, you do
Gonzales: No, I don't
Democrat: Yes you do
etc.

Lee, Sixx, singer Vince Neil and guitarist Mick Mars -- who have
spent the past 24 years unapologetically upholding the principles of
sex, drugs and rock-and-roll.

Unapologetic? Yep. That's what the Bush Administration is all about. No apologies for taking the country to war for no good reason. No apologies for racking up the deficit to untold heights. No apologies. Period.

From the bombastic opener, "Shout at the Devil"...

Token bone thrown to thank the evangelical base for getting Bush elected.

The Sasquatchian Sixx, a former heroin addict who has cheated death
more times than Indiana Jones...

How many times has Dick Cheney cheated death? How much heart surgery has he had? Does he even have a heart? "Kick Start My Heart," indeed?

...the Crue proved it is unrivaled when it comes to creatively
utilizing the f-word and related vulgarities.

Kind of like when Dick Cheney, on the Senate floor, asked nice Mr. Leahy to go f*ck himself.

Yes, it's the "Same Ol' Situation" in D.C. Same ol' sticking it to the little guy in favor of rich guys. Same 'ol polluting up the environment so already rich corporations can make even more money. Same ol' Lies.
