I had no idea this bs was still around. Hookers and Blow…..what a fantastic name. What idiot would see these guys?
It is a Fantastic Name, and actually a fantastic show …. Have you seen them? – If not, either get out from behind your computer and check them out live THEN form an opinion or don’t go at all and shut the f#ck up. Either way, they seem to be doing just fine without you…. I remember them coming around back in 2007 and it was a blast….. I can’t wait to see them with Don Jamieson doing his comedy thing as the opener…..
If you have seen them and still hate it, just don’t go back….
What about how your statement affects me emotionally?
Yes Mr . Wiley. With a massive drug epidemic that is taking lives daily and young girls being forced into a lifestyle that they can’t get out of and in a lot of cases die from due to either drug overdoses, alcoholism, or violence – why on earth would I be offended by the name Hookers and Blow? What fine group of ‘young’ men these guys must be for having to use a name such as this to garner attention to their ‘not even has been’ status. They must hit every 80’s rock cliche in the book during their shows. Oh if only they’d come to the mid west on their ‘Go down on me’ tour, or ‘straight up the nose’ extravaganza. You’re a brilliant little man aren’t you. Let me guess, you’re the guy front row wearing a red bandana singing along to every gripping word they sing right?
Every once in a while, a band will come out with a name so dumb that It’s brilliant. I’m sure there’s a lot of bands that, when they saw that band’s name, said “Why didn’t we think of that?”
DR go listen to some gangster rap and autotune Pop. They talk about drugs, women, whores and hating the police. So it’s not ok to have rock music be popular, it’s no problem with gangster rap and autotune pop garbage.
Hey Nick look at you bringing a plastic knife to Gun fight. You make M Wiley look smart which is no small feat indeed. Perhaps you should go back to the kids table while the adults talk. You’re confusing subject matter and wasting everyone’s time.
Dearest DR,
While i appreciate you thinking I’m a man, i am I fact all girl. Please don’t believe everything you see on dateline. Not all hookers are created equal neither their pimps. HBO has a positive light of how that business is conducted you should check it out. Furthermore, If you want a cause, may i suggest you try saving the rainforest and leave this kick ass band alone. After all, it’s only a name.
