The Decline of Western Civilization, Part 1

I was watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien this evening when I encountered perhaps the most telling sign of the decline of Western Civilization I have ever been witness to - David Lee Roth singing Van Halen tunes to country music. "Jamie's Crying" played to a banjo, steel guitar, fiddle, mandolin, the whole works. I wish I was lying.

Is nothing sacred anymore!!!!

Apparently, Roth has cut an entire album, Strummin' With the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen, filled with this sacrilege. What's more, various country artists have joined his Satanic coven to defile these sacred tunes. May David Lee Roth and his record company executives rot in the deepest bowels of Rock N' Roll Hell for such blasphemy!
