Is it my imagination or did April Fools Day bring every “a-list” blogger some sense that they could be funny? I browsed through my archives and it was all lame “I work for the competition!” jokes. Please people: get over yourselves. We don’t care. Work at Starbucks for the amount it effects me and my everyday life.

Suck it A-listers. Buck, Mills, Berry and Stipe performing Country Feedback in Athens, GA trumps all.

The link below is not the most eloquently spoken post about what is failing on the net, but it does sum up what I thought when I read your post…..

As I said before, your are bang on when it comes to the criticism of the AFD stuff being lame.
