We need to talk

This is a very serious matter of which I will expect very serious consideration. I found out some information today of which my opinion pertaining to it will probably upset some of you - Bam Margera has been chosen to host the VH1 Rock Honors and I feel the end of the world may be near. I know many of you feel like Bam is the obnoxious big brother who gives you swirlies and wedgies you never had or maybe you want to make out with him, which is also beyond me. Either way, in my humble opinion he's a joke. His career is built on being a joke and if anything, I think HIM's association with him is a liability (I don't care what Ville says.) I mean, really reason this out in your heads. Even if you like him or think he's funny, you can't really feel like he has a right to be honoring rock legends.

This of course is neither here nor there. The real issue is that he will be hosting this show which will be honoring four of the most amazing rock bands to ever grace our ears. Legends, if you will. Oh, and you will.

ZZ Top
Genesis
Heart
Ozzy Osbourne

In case you didn't think him hosting and honoring the above artists could get any worse, you'll be even more annoyed by who will be covering them.

Keane
Gretchen Wilson
Nickelback

I can't deal with it. As Sterogum.com put it, "it's absurd." Yes, Mr. Stereogum, it is indeed absurd. Is it really that hard to find someone legitimate to host and some legitimate bands to cover them? VH1 really is all we have left. MTV sold us out to rap music and TRL. MTV2 loops Modest Mouse and All-American Rejects like it's going out of style. Fuse is about it and it's limited. I would have been a better choice to host this and nobody even knows who the f**k I am. Sheesh.
