While we're on Guitar Hero news items, don't forget this one:

Parents Let Kid Drop Out Of High School To Focus On Guitar Hero

And no, sadly, it's not an Onion article.

to quote the author: "The description of Blake's room, his interests (or lack thereof) , and his folks' decision to let him do this just ... well, the don't make anyone look good."

He shouldn't throw educational stones based on his typo'd glass house :-)

But seriously, in this day and age - let the kid make some cash while he can doing something he loves. If he has a tutor and passes his GED I don't see the problem.

Yeah, I agree - the article is written to make the whole story like one of those Maury or Montel episodes, where the whole point is to point accusing fingers at some family and say "Good God, aren't these people awful?! Let's all hate on them for the next hour!"

In other words, I'll bet the actual situation is a great deal more complicated than the article makes it sound.

Okay, a huge WTF on GHIV:

"Low" (Travis Barker Remix) - Flo Rida featuring T-Pain

WHA?

[kingfuraday]

It's because Barker is rumored to be either a playable character or a boss battle. I for one think he's got a special bonus "douche" mode written all over him...

I'm very excited about Rock Band 2, I'm trying to veer away from Guitar Hero IV because the last thing I need is another drum set in the house! LOL! And so far the track listing isn't enough to warrant the buy.

yeah, I hear you there... GH4 has some songs i wouldn't mind workin' but I'm committed to RB at this point.
