In. Will probably change my nom for reasons that will become apparent when noms are released.

Im glad my melts touched a nerve - let me answer all your questions here.

Heath ledger. I have nothing against the bloke really. I may have gone a bit far when I called him a wanker. But the hype and everything about him is just coz he's dead. I hate how everyone talks about him being the nicest guy in Hollywood and how he never did anything wrong. Bullshit. Everyone has skeletons. And controversy.

Looking for alibrandi is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be. It was an average book (I had to read it for year nine - probably why I hate it so much) and a sub par movie. But teenager of the year was a terrible song. It's typical 90's-2000's pop rock like the aforementioned simple plan.

Of course all of this is my opinion.

Finally Kokomo, I don't get the hate. I know Brian Wilson didn't write or get involved with this one but is that why people hate it? Or is it the gold 104 thing again? To be honest I just don't think it was deserving of the Billy. Not compared to some of the other trash there.

Hence my Illinois Nazi -esque write up of all (except one) of the songs where it seems I had only bad things to say.

It's not as if the billy is worked out on a scientific basis or anything, I imagine many people like me, they get to the end of the list, and remember they need a billy, and they don't know what to pick, and just have to pick one.

Often people will make it easy for me if, for example, they've nommed Billy Joel.

For the rest of my days, I will never, ever forget the disrespect shown to Status Quo....

BTW in this iteration of the Cities & Towns Round, the place has to actually be the place they mean in the song title, not a same name place elsewhere. Only came up once so far.
Was it to do with an Australian band singing a song about a small Canadian town?
