Nickelback - Rockstar (Part Deux)














Two Nickelback posts in less than 24hours????? Im losing cred amongst the 5 of you im sure. Thus the posting of the photo above. If I bag them to you all maybe you might think im still cool.

Im fragile people - remember that. And I also hit my head yesterday. Huge ass lump too.

MLE's mum was on MSN last night and man I think she thinks a little less of me now. I know how she loves gravel throated Canadian singers too.....

But I found the below info on the Interweb thing. Its a list from Yahoo Answers forums about the Rockstar video. The peeps over there made a list of who's who in the video. Its pretty comprehensive and helped me work out who the gorgeous blonde on the beach is at about the 2min 54s mark - Riki Lindhome.

The list and more info is also on Wikepedia.

I had no idea that guy was Jerry Cantrell under the bridge. And its in Chicago too (Tony K represent!)

So if you want to know who is who ("With the latest dictionary and todays who's who") then read on.
