Hearing Layla -- Derek and the Dominoes
Frankly, I can't imagine much worse than this:
Blender magazine editors chose Starship's 1985 hit "We Built This City" as the worst song of all time. Now they've assigned contributor Russ Heller to set a world record for repeatedly listening to the worst song ever. He'll sit in a plexiglass booth at the Best Buy in NoHo starting Friday at 8 a.m. and grit his teeth as "We Built This City" is played at least 324 times over a grueling 24 hours.
I swear to God. If I had to listen to that song more than once in the space of a month, I would probably jam a Popsicle stick into my eardrums and then twist. It was a terrifying song back in 1985, and it hasn't gotten any better since. I'll be spending Friday praying for Russ Heller. I hope you will be too. He's going to need a lot of support to get through this ordeal.

Did you hear about the new Airplane from Virgin Airways? It's called "Jefferson Airplane", and Grace Slick was there to break the champagne at openning ceremony in San Francisco just recently. Talk about perfect timing... "We built this city on ROCK 'N ROLL!!! Julie
