Team/Band That Needs To Fade


Let's freshen up.......

Team:
Detroit Red Wings
The professional precision is impressive, and the city needed a success story, but after years of emotionless domination, even when not winning it all, they needs to subside. Even having to cut their salary nearly in half hasn't caused a stutter step. If you've ever witnessed an NHL game where Detroit is playing on the road, you will note that almost as many fans cheer for the Red Wings as the home team, their cockiness rubbing across North America the wrong way. Let the Pistons incite riots for a while, and let 44 year old Chris Chelios retire. Night Planet wouldn't mind seeing a Nashville/Carolina Stanley Cup, maybe then the stellar Hurricanes will move to somewhere that cares about hockey. In fact, that would be the lowest TV rated final ever, but with two of the most exciting teams, the battle of the mountains.

Band:
Pearl Jam
Well, can't say I ever liked your numbing, instantly stale music, but must give you credit for endurance. Pearl Jam is like a survivalist in a hunting cabin in the North Cascades who returns to town every now and then to release a blockbuster hit in the non-evolving Billboard world. Churning out brand new songs you think you've heard before, Pearl Jam is back. Sluggish lyrics that hint at insight and indistinct guitar rock are sure to follow. Staind and friends beware.
World Wide Suicide chart news: World Wide Suicide debuts on Billboard Modern Rock Audience Chart at number 1 and number 3 overall on the format's chart.

I don't mind stealing bread, from the mouths of decadence ...
While Pearl Jam lingers like dead fish, at least Soundgarden is gone.
As for teams, I'm sure a lot of people would say the Braves. Of course, I'm not going to say that, but I could do without the Yankees for a few years.
(A One Day at a Time marathon would probably get higher ratings than a Nasvhille-Carolina final)
