Yoko and Diddy on there, but no Perry and Dave

Zooey Dechannel (an actress?) is on there too.

No Maynard (who is hilarious)? No Trent Reznor (who only tweets when he has something AWESOME to say)? No Josh Freese (also hilarious)

What a shit list.

There are hundreds. And none of them are famous.

But you probably are one of those people who says "twitter is dumb" anytime someone talks about it just because you don't understand it.

i don't follow. should perry and dave be on the list for some reason because yoko and diddy are?
Zooey Dechannel (an actress?) is on there too.
you've never heard of "she and him?"

or the fact that she's an actress disqualifies her from the list?

What has Yoko ever done for music besides give John Lennon a place to stick his dick in between shows?

No. Should i have? Are they some huge band tearing up the charts and putting out legendary albums?

Or is she just a cute face on some television show and takes a shitty alt country band on the road during her summers off?
or the fact that she's an actress disqualifies her from the list?
Well i don't see Kevin Bacon, Russel Crowe, Billy Bob Thornton, Keanu Reeves, or Steven Seigal on the list.

Shit, i don't even see the 2 people from Rilo Kiley who were moderately successful actors prior to being successful musicians.

i always felt like he tweeted too much due to not understanding. he would retweet someone's Q and then tweet his reply and it just got to be a clusterfuck. i had to unfollow.

This list is slightly better.

But they still are choosing mostly "famous" names over the people who are actually worth reading.

@KellyOxford is a surprise to see on there. But @JennyJohnsonHi5 should be too. So should @PaulyPeligriso (sp?) and @robdelaney

These lists are like "hey, what celebs have twitter accounts? ok add them. Do we have enough? no? ok throw on some people who barely qualify"

These lists are clearly not put together by anyone who actually uses twitter.

He's very smart, just has a very odd sense of humour. I like him for some reason. :hehe:

Oh i totally LOVE norm. i have always followed his career. (even that terrible album of his that was 10 years in the making)

I just can't deal with his overtweeting. i don't follow enough people to break up the fact that he uses up like 50% of my feed. :lol:

Norm McDonald is one of my comedic heroes.


Did anyone see that Dennis Miller episode for an anniversary or something that was his show throughout time with Norm as the guest in every time period?

They would come out in clothes for the time period they were in, and Norm would tell a story relevant to that time period - but every story would end with Norm saying something like "So I showed them my cock."

Dennis Miller would just lose it every time. It's been many years since I saw it, but at the time I remember thinking it was hilarious.

That comedy list is pretty good as for the music list the only one that interests me would be ?uestlove, as he usually has good stuff and is pretty well versed in different music types.
