that overwhelming revulsion you speak of has a price and can be overcome  
$$$

not by you per se but for the right person

institutions like  billboard are just a cog in the wheel of megamarketing 
schlock 

Pimps they are
Pimps

whoring out the skank muzak for mass  consumption

these endorsements are meant to trigger sales and that's  all

today's music scene  needs megadoses of JP back in it
and by  the sound of things to come from JP in 2010 we shall have it!

Also I'm  glad that Jeff and Eric will be touring together

This is something I'd always hoped Jeff and Jimmy would have  done
I'm sure I'm not alone in that wish either but for right now it will be  
Jeff and Eric 

At least some tasty music will be out there for the  youngins to be 
bewildered by

setting the record straight

what's  what and who's who kind of thing happening

Don't worry MinM - I don't blame Canada.  Nickleback make  me ashamed
to be human.

I don't know what  Billboard's criteria  are for annointing NB GotD but
I'm just going to assume it was sales since  they are they epitome of
commercial banality.  If I were in charge of  Billboard and I realized
I would have to make such a declaration, I think I  would have just
gone dark.  Issue a press release stating that, due to  overwhelming
revulsion (from when we threw up in our mouths a little), we  simply
can't publish anything this week.  Come back next week with a  shred of
pride and principle still left and hope nobody noticed that there  was
no Group of the Decade issue.
