this is a really cool book! Chapters are written by different authors, all about historical rivalries!

must look this up.

such as.. The Smith vs. The Cure.. Whitney Houston vs. Mariah Carey.. The Rolling Stones vs. The Velvet Underground..

MUST look this up.

my fave chapters are.. REM vs. U2.. Band-Aid vs. USA For Africa.. John Lennon vs. Paul McCartney..

I browsed it at the bookstore and read preview online.. it's a really, REALLY good buy. Hilarious, but accurate!

: Awesome. I had a book once that gave the derivation of band names. You'd probably enjoy that.

I think I saw that book.. it explained the history of how the bands got their names, was that the one??

That was it, but I forget the name of it. I'll have to dig it out if I haven't donated it already.

oh my! I accept generous book donations..

: I just donated 4 boxes of paperbacks to the library.

awwww man..

: Of course, then they charged me $20 in late fees for a book I had forgotten I borrowed.

.. now THAT'S irony!
