I haven’t been able to do much of anything since the weekend because I’ve been ill. Between trying to keep up with the day job and coughing up a lung just getting through the day has been a chore.

The Black Eyed Peas? Something must have happened when I wasn’t looking. So I decided to do some digging. First, I found out that the four people in the Black Eyed Peas are as follows: will.i.am, fergie, apl.de.ap and taboo. Wait – what? Apl.de.ap? Is that HTML code for virtual strudel? I don’t know. But they must have done something to warrant the biggest spot in American entertainment, right?
A brief career overview:
They had a huge hit song called “Let’s Get Retarded.” That’s gotta be a mistake. I mean they can’t really have a song called “Let’s Get Retarded” can they? And if they do have a song called “Let’s Get Retarded,” are these really the words?: Continue reading Boom Boom Pow!→
