Music: Is There No Limit To Hilston’s Talent?*

Serving suggestion: Crank it.

About “Angry Rockstar.” I heard on the radio that Tool is releasing their next record soon. It is being hyped as the angriest recording in music history. Of course, the target of their anger is the Nucular President. So I thought I would beat them to it. Here are the lyrics to my latest masterpiece, followed by a link to the music itself. Warning: The lyrics are rated PG-13. Proceed with caution.

Angry Rockstar

HATE is tattooed across my chest
For my anger is there is no rest
Mom and Dad I will implicate
To explain all this rage and hate

I'm just an angry rockstar
A highly pissed-off rockstar
Malevolence that knows no bounds
Just look at my angry frowns

I'm dropping F-bombs right, left and center
Hey Grandma, I give you the finger
Can you account for all this disdain
Maybe President Bush can explain

I'm just an angry rockstar
A highly pissed-off rockstar
Malevolence that knows no bounds
Just look at my angry frowns
(Repeat)
