So a dude who did some celebrity impersonation stuff of/for a "rock star" from a band I've never heard of introduces his wife to the "rock star" he impersonated.
I think you see where this is going.
She leaves Impersonator Douchebag for "Rock Star" Douchebag, Impersonator Douchebag ends up killing himself. The world is unchanged in any meaningful way.

I try to avoid them at all costs.

wait a minute, is it you or whiskey that teaches kindergarten?
If it's whiskey, sorry, my bad...
But it does my heart good to see hairband stalkers off themselves....

A little from column A, a little from column B.

I'd literally never heard of this band, so I looked them up.
Wikipedia says they've been around nearly fifty years, and I know several of the song titles mentioned. "Rockin' All Over the World" (as covered by John Fogerty) is a personal fave.
That doesn't mean I'd allow a band member to fuck my spouse while I watched.

Yeah, it's me that teaches K. We're learning the letter Xx this week, so I taught them "exacerbate". Ex.: "If you yell in my ear during journal time, you exacerbate my mistakes." Parents love me. Especially when I teach them "cacophony" when we're all learning to sing at the same volume, in the same key. They take that home and complain about the cRap music playing on top of the XBox soundtrack over Jerry Springer with some random "auntie" hollering into a cell phone...
My favorite Status Quo song: "Pictures of Matchstick Men." I got excellent bo-bo's from some chick, impressed with my record library skills at the college radio station, to that song. They really could be the prototype for Spinal Tap, constantly reinventing themselves in order to remain mired in mediocre obscurity. I would rag on the dead guy for naming his kid after his rock and roll hero, but when my wife and I reached a compromise on kids' names (Slavic for girls, Gaelic for boys), I got her to agree to Ian Curtis for a son we never got around to having...

Didn't Rush write Matchstick Men? And then Camper Van Beethoven did it as well? Yeah....
...another great band....oh, almost forgot....
I like Ian Curtis et al., but it seems a tad depressing to name a kid after the singer from Joy Division.....he was kinda cute....
and of course, one of the best post-punk dance songs ever....

Naming a kid Ian Curtis is all about the irony, baby.
I saw Camper open for R.E.M. at the UIC Pavilion in, I think, 1988...
Naw, SQ released Matchstick Men in 1968, if I'm not mistaken. Geddy Lee didn't even have hair on his balls yet back then.
Thanks for sharing the vids of the Contractions on the QB thread--gotta love an all-Rickenbacker (at least the first video) lineup!
Here's one of my favorite all-Rick lineups:
edited to correct faulty memory: UIC Pavilion for Indianapolis. Cut me some slack. I'm 42. And blond.

Yeah, I wiki'ed them as well. A couple song titles ("Rockin'" among them) seemed familiar, but I couldn't call the songs to mind.
