Dan O'Neill hates that hippity hoppity music the kids like

[ThatGuy]

I e-mailed him asking if this article was submitted against his will, along with pointing out that the rest of us were having a mighty good time with it. I also told him it was easy to ruin one's "street cred" by butchering the names of popular artists like Akon and Arcade Fire.

He apologized for the "regrettable" mistakes, and said he was not concerned (in any form or fashion) with "street cred."

I went ahead and forwarded this fine article to the popular music blog Idolator, and they ran it as a post. They gave me props, but those really belong to thrill:

Oh that's beautiful!

I sure do love that hip hop group, Arcade. And the Akron! Oh yes, he is quite capital.

What an embarrassing article for the PD.

I think the article is silly too but I think "Arcade" might have been mentioned because of this:

Steven Jackson mentioned he would like the stadium to play more current music. A little hip-hop, a little alternative rock; anything to pump up the crowd. Fairly harmless, off-hand remark.

Still a silly article.

But an even sillier comment from Jackson if you ask me considering the circumstances. Hey Steven, want to pump up the crowd? How about going better than 2-9 or whatever.

That was the point of the article. No need for street cred with the songs and group names, he was taking a shot with the titles, kids.

Dan O'Neill is a middle aged white guy, no doubt. He's also a satiric sports columnist and has been for as long as I remember and when a 2-9 running back suggests rearranging the furniture on the Lusitania he's an easy target.

How about winning football games more than once or twice a month. That'll pump up the crowd.

I think just playing "Once In A While" by Akron throughout the stadium should suffice.

I know you youngbloods are referring to me as Fogey behind my monitor.
