FUEL'S F-BOMB FIASCO
Wed Jan 19,10:35 AM ET Entertainment - E! Online
By Charlie Amter
Who needs Kid Rock when you've got Brett Scallions fueling an F-bomb controversy at an inaugural event hosted by first twins Jenna and Barbara Bush?
Scallions, lead singer and guitarist for rock band Fuel, stuck his foot squarely in his mouth Tuesday at the America's Future Rocks Today show, part of the week's ongoing inauguration festivities.
"Welcome to the greatest f---ing country in the world!" the Something Like Human singer shouted during the hard-rocking Pennsylvania alt-rock quartet's set.
While his heart may have been in the right place, his brain definitely wasn't. But quickly realizing his folly in front of the conservative crowd, he apologized for his Vince Neil-like outburst, saying, "Excuse my language."
Luckily for Scallions, President Bush (news - web sites) had not yet arrived at the youth concert, although thousands of prepubescent girls, their moms and church groups were there to see such acts as Hilary Duff, JoJo and American Idol champ Ruben Studdard sing and extol the virtues of volunteer work.
The event, already mired in controversy after Kid Rock was 86'd from the bill, otherwise went off without a hitch.
Ironically, the raunchy rapper-rocker was initially supposed to be part of the festivities, but then the Campaign for Children of Families and the American Family Association launched an email campaign urging Republican faithful to protest Rock's inclusion due to his R-rated content and expletive-happy lyrics. When the final lineup was announced last week, the Kid was MIA, but Fuel managed to get by the culture czars.
Officials estimate that around 10,000 fans attended the gig, which also featured the likes of crowd favorite Ryan Cabrera and 3 Doors Down.
But it was Duff that got President Bush's vote for best GOP-friendly artist.
"How about Hilary Duff; wasn't she fantastic?" the President asked the crowd at the half-empty D.C Armory early Wednesday before heading out to other inaugural events.
No word on how the commander in chief felt about Scallions' unfettered zeal for his country.
The concert was not televised, which means Scallions' F-bomb won't be under scrutiny from the FCC.
The new year is already turning into a banner one for the best known four-letter curse word.
Mtley Cre singer Vince Neil was unable to curb his famously foul mouth on New Year's Eve, when he told bandmate Tommy Lee, "Happy f---ing New Year" live on NBC.
That incident is still under investigation by the FCC. |

Ha ha!
Fuel is from Harrisburg. I can't stand them, but I'm really glad he said it. It's sooooooo FUCKIN' funny!
Besides in PA, "fuck" is part of our everyday language. Even the Amish say it.

While I am by no means offened by the word FUCK I can certainly understand why this stunt by that idiot Brett Scallions would raise eyebrows. I mean c'mon he's playing to a group of pre-teens attending the event with their parents to see the headliner-Hillary Duff for god's sake! I mean what kind of an idiot would not see the F bomb in this enviroment to be totally out of place. The guy is a pompass ass. Some think that people over react to this kind of crap,but if I'm attending this event with my 7 and 8 year old daughters I would have wanted to strangle the bastard. Reminds me of the old adage,"There's a time and place....this event was niether the time nor the place. It dosen't strike me as cool just to say Fuck for the fuck of it. I guess Brett feels that it gives him street cred? Yeah,whatever dumbass!

I hate conservatives, of any nation. Yours, theirs, ours. I fucking hate them all. Always worried about other people's lives. Always intruding. Always making rules.
And always the 1st to break them.
Ollie North
Rush Limbaugh
Jim Bakker
Richard Nixon
That FBI guy - Hoover? Fuck, i have a blank on his name! The one who took it all the way. You know. Him. That guy.
And Old Georgie boy himself. The booze and cocaine fiend. The guy who missed Nam, went into the Texan air rangers commie killers squad(or whatever) but never actually managed to turn up! And, all the records are "missing". But, then again, in the official Bush library, and other Government records offices, alot of the Bush family documents are missing. Hmmmmmm.
And conservatives are always concerned with sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Still!
We got the Australian Family Association here. Run by some Canadian imported geek. You know the type. Glasses, beard, bad suit. Against absolutely everything, except 1960's Disney shows.
A supporter of them, and also extreme anti abortion crusader, runs the Endeavour Foundation. They have links to the U.S. anti abortion crowd. This chick, rich as all shit, living in THE BEST suburb here, and married to a Barrister (or he may even be a Queens COunsel now) simply writes to the papers every frigging day whining about everything. Underwear ads are too risque, why do they have to show underwear? Bikinis are too small, what ever happened to beach inspectors?
That sort of thing. They want us all to go "Back to the Future" of the 50's. And, they are winning too! Our Prime Minister got re-elected on the back of massive support from the new upsurgance of what we call the Evangalical Right. Some of these "congregations" have church services for 10,000 people! They all banded together, put forward candidates for the Family First party, and now the blinds are going to be drawn once again.
Mind you, we Aussies pretty much ignore all these wankers. I just read how a tough new smoking ban was introduced in Italy. No smoking virtually anywhere. The Government announced really tough fines and punishments.
The public, and the bar/restaurant owners basically said "Fuck you, Jack" (or maybe, Fuck you Mario) and ignored the bans. Fine us they said. Fine the thousands of us. The ban has now been "temporarily" suspended.
What the hell am i talking about? |

SS...in your honor, I am pulling out the Atomic F-Bombs you sent me. They shall be played loudly in my car on the way to work tomorrow. The windows shall be in a downward position (briefly...it's colder than fucking hell here!).
Rally the troops...I may need bond money

first i've heard of it, I have to admit.
I always understood it was "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" as a sort of legal/police acronym for a sex crime |

Or simply a good old saxon/germanic term meaning to copulate, according to dictionnaries.

I just upgraded my wife's ring there as well, fair prices, good quality, and if you are good, you can really squeeze them down in price.
The wedge fries are not good, I am surprised to say that you have made an incorrect observation, they are of poor quality....although the humid air of Boca may have inhibited your taste buds, so i will give you a pass. |

The Jewish weiner is surely a treat! For future reference, please add White Castle to your list of chicago quality foods, along with brick oven pizza (I recommend Aurellios) and Chicago Hot Dogs (not Portillos though, it is overrated, try a small place such as Mickeys where customers return based on food quality not crappy marketing schemes) |

Sadly, nitrites in hot dogs and other meat products have been linked with stomach cancer |

Sad indeed, i recommend switching to White Castles which has been linked to explosive diarrhea when combined with a full night of Old Style. |
