Revisiting the Stapptasm

2009_1022_stapp.jpg Slate music writer Jonah Weiner has been getting a tremendous amount of ribbing on the internet for his latest counter-intuitive pop rock piece, "Creed is Good: Scott Stapp's nu-grunge foursome was seriously underrated." Weiner penned a similar defense of Limp Bizkit earlier this year, in fitting with his publication's overall reputation for being contrary just for the sake of it. For us, all of this is really just an excuse to link back to former DCist staffer Jason Linkins' classic Scott Stapp concert review, which if you've never read, you should do so now. Click here.

Speaking of Limp Bizkit...how bout them new Google Phone commercials with Fred Dirst...I couldn't believe how old and grey he looked, they I remembered the last time I heard a Limp Bizkit song was 1999.

Everything sucks until someone says its cool ten years later

I love that review if only because it shows just how far Kyle has come with his concert photography.

It figures someone named Weiner would be in love with Creed so many years after their relevance. If they were ever relevant, that is.
