Now this is what the Internet is for: Letting goats take over the screams on pop songs.

The genius "wahs" added to Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" have owned the web for days -- but have you seen the goats add the background "woah-ohs" to "Livin' on a Prayer" yet?

Fox attacks Bruce Springsteen for hosting charity concert

In case you somehow don’t know by now, Bruce Springsteen loves his native New Jersey, and pretty much everyone in New Jersey loves him. So when the state was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, he naturally wanted to do what he could to help out. That's why he’s teaming up with fellow Jersey locals Bon Jovi, along with Sting and Christina Aguilera, to hold a benefit concert for the victims, which is set to air on NBC at 8 p.m. tonight.

A heartwarming case of some American icons coming together in a time of need to help out and rock out, right? Not so fast. The paranoid crew at Fox and Friends uncovered what’s really going on here: Secret Obama propaganda. "Good intention, raise some money for victims, but the timing is more than suspect," guest host Eric Bolling said this morning. "Is this more political? Is this more, let's get this thing on TV before the election to help President Obama look more presidential? Or is it more to help out victims?"

Lou Reed’s been terrible for years!

Dylan Jones has strong opinions, even when they're a little dodgy. For my money, he gives Spandau Ballet and Travis too much credit, and R.E.M. and Lloyd Cole nowhere near enough. His favorites hew a little close to the artists he's interviewed over his long career as an editor and writer at British magazines. (He's now the editor of British GQ.)

But that's the thing about critics: Sometimes you love the ones who are so smug and sure and confident that they're perfectly fine defending something unfashionable, or going on for pages about someone you'd never otherwise have taken seriously. Often, that's the best way to break past your own biases and prejudices.
