Written by April Showers bring great pop culture!
My cleverness knows no bounds. This is really the time of year when we start to get geared up for our summer jams and our popcorn movies and it’s all very exciting. Here’s what I’m pumped for in April:
Movies
Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D- (April 21, 2010)- When a few 3D concert films were released last year (Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers) I thought to myself, when is Kenny Chesney going to get in on that? Because he is like the KING OF CONCERTS. He is like Jimmy Buffett Jr. or Jimmy Buffett II: Jimmy Buffetter. I don’t know if his legions of fans have a catchy name like “Parrotheads,” but they are just as crazy and to be honest they deserve the 3D experience just as much as the teen girls at the above mentioned concert films. Or maybe they don’t. Who am I to judge. JUST MAKE SURE YOU SEE THIS THE DAY IT COMES OUT.

Music
Insane Clown Posse- Bang! Pow! Boom! Nuclear Version (April 6)-ONLY one more week until the Nuclear Version drops y’all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting since the Radioactive Version of Bang! Pow! Boom! dropped for the Nuclear Version to come and BLOW ME AWAY and here it is. I mean seriously these guys have to be the best group dressed like killer clowns in the rap game today. Because for them it’s not about the show, it’s about living the life. You know: tiny cars, water-spraying flowers, squeaky noses, cocaine, shenanigans, balloon animals, balloon animals full of cocaine. That such a seminal album (B!P!B!) gets a Nuclear Version should be no surprise. It basically changed the rap game forever, ICP FOREVS. BANG POW BOOM!

TV
Real American Stories on Fox News (April 1)- This is almost too good to be true. When I heard the show debuted on April Fool’s I thought: “TOO GOOD to be true. Good one Fox News. Just a brilliant joke, but you could never get this show off the ground.” Then I found out it was real. So duh! I’m so excited to see the REAL America that Sarah Palin is going to show us. I think basically this is going to be like Profiles in Courage: 2K10 Edition: Now with more Palin! Sarah Palin is truly the REAL American, she went from Governor of a state that most people can’t name 2 cities in to vice-presidential candidate/mother of a pregnant teen whose baby daddy later posed in Playgirl magazine. If THAT isn’t a REAL AMERICAN STORY, what is?! She is the everyman/woman. Palin for President!

Dude, I’ve seen kenny chesney live in concert 6 times and every time it’s better than the last! Cannot wait for that masterpiece of cinema. If only I could pull of a straw cowboy hat and a sleeveless shirt as well I too could hook up with Renee Zellweger, this age’s finest actress
