Not sure why this matters. A millionaire starts another venture. It's not like he's Paul Newman or anything.

I guess he's using his McArthur Foundation genious grant on this venture.

I admire the fact that he's not just a 'Rock Star'.

He has a Master's in molecular biology.

The fact that The Offspring has sold 17 million records pisses me off. "Pretty Fly For a White Guy" is hands down one of the stupidest, unfunny, crappiest songs I've ever heard.

What pisses me off is the fact that it's their most popular song, because most of their other songs are pretty good.

Yeah IMO that's their worst song to ever become popular. I saw them 2 or 3 times when I was in high school and they put on a helluva show.

What annoys me about the Offspring is their lack of growth as artists. i remember liking them a lot in jr. high/high school around the time when Smash came out. I recently heard a new song of theirs on the radio and my first thought was "this could have come out over a decade ago."

Uh, they're a pop-punk band. Musical growth doesn't tend to be an important part of the genre.

I came in to make a Greg Graffin reference and was beaten to it. Bravo Fark

Never heard "Purple People Eater", "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" or any of the works of Ray Stevens, have you?

 
CaesarSneezy 2009-01-25 11:48:36 PM  
Wow, their last album was awful.

 
ZombiesAreJerks 2009-01-26 12:43:30 AM  
Wasn't this news like, 2 years ago? Pfft, way to be up on your obscure business ventures from irrelevant rock stars!

Brian Holland's wife has an insane amount of diamonds on her hand. I think their music is lame, but they sure are loaded.

 
PattyMcG 2009-01-26 02:33:12 AM  
Holland once showed up on a SPIN Magazine list of the most well-endowed rockers in history (#1, of course: Hendrix).

/just throwing it out there

I like a lot of Offspring material but I really like their performance in Idle Hands at the Halloween dance. If you've seen it, you know why.

/Pretty Fly for a White Guy is pretty meh

TSOL called and want their sound back Offspring.

TSOL is in my CD player right now,so I'm getting a kick....

Isn't this old news? I thought I heard about his hotsauce venture a couple of years ago.
