Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism Scientology, Mormonism, and Jehovah’s Witness: Each of them a fraud! Cults and scams designed to herd you into a line and bleed you of every last dime in the name of enlightenment. Don’t be fooled! There is only one true God and his name be Grohl. That’s right, the only true path to spiritual enlightenment is through Dave Grohl and he recently posted his 6 Commandments on MSN.com… Yeah, like Charlton Heston and burning shrub are a lot more reputable a source for spiritual guidance than the company that hosts your Hotmail account.  

Dave Grohl recently posted six tips for a good, healthy life on MSN.com and they are as follow.

1. Dress for the life you want.

It shouldn't be about career and ambitions. It's not rocket science. I manage this organization with no shoes on and a Mr. Bubble T-shirt with chili all over it.

2. Love your family like you love your guitar.

The time I spend with the band is amazing and so much fun that it makes me want to puke. But the love I get from my family keeps me energized and alive enough to keep up with the music.

3. Moderation in all things.

I'm nearly 40. The last thing I want to do is wake up with a raging hangover and have to listen to Elmo songs with my daughter. I might be able to drink longer now; I just don't drink as often. If I get a night out with some friends and Jägermeister, it's going to be a long night, and somebody's going home with cracked ribs.

4. An audience is an audience.

I'd be just as happy as I am now if I was at the s**thole down the street playing Creedence covers for six people.

5. Try to be in two incredibly successful bands.

If not, that's okay.

6. Man up.

Anybody who has to focus on being real has a problem. It's like having a panic attack over how you're prone to panic attacks. Be a guy. Play music.

New updates on the new Metallica record. Lars talked to Revolver Magazine and once again (and a little self-consciously so, I might add) compares the album they are working on now with Rick Rubin to Metallica music of the 80’s. He says, "This stuff is certainly a lot more dynamic and a lot more varied than the last couple of go-rounds. It's pretty different from 'St. Anger', and it's pretty different from the 'Load' stuff. This stuff is not the one-dimensional punch in the face that 'St. Anger' was. This is probably a little more like those couple of albums back there in the decade that begins with an '8.'"

He came up short of saying that this was a full return to the “old school” Metallica. He says, "I hate to be that specific, because six months from now people are gonna go, 'What the f--k? Lars lied to us!' But it feels that way to me. It's been no secret that Rick  suggested to us that we use a couple of those records as reference points.”

Oh Sting, Hypocrisy be thy name! Sting, also known as the lead singer of the Police, douche-rock pioneer, unmitigated jackass, and, of course, by his given name, Tantric McWangBlister, is also a gigantic hypocrite. Sting never misses an opportunity to lecture the rest of us about the rainforest, global warming and reducing our carbon footprint. Well, guess who also has the worst ecological record in rock? Yes, according to the ecological site www.carbonfootprint.com the Police are the “dirtiest band in rock,” not so much for their own practices but because they are really, really popular with old white people in big cars. An estimated 1.5million fans will travel tens of millions of miles to see them perform at one of more than 100 venues. All of that travel has a massive environmental impact according to environmental advisor John Buckley. He says,

"The Police played lots of big stadiums - they need to be careful over where they play, and make sure it's near public transport."
