pop tarts

I'm not completely immune to pop culture, much as I might like to be. The world of people who make front page news by falling off the stage at concerts, getting busted for drunk driving, losing custody of their children and offing their spouses leaks in around the corners every time I stand in line at a supermarket or pick up one of those free daily "news" papers off the bus seat next to me.

I wouldn't know most actors if one bit me on the leg, but occasionally when the person being talked about is a musician of some kind I make a point of going to listen to their music because I actually care about that shit. So last night I looked up a bunch of wassername Winehouse videos on youtube.

Usually this causes me a world of hurt, but they actually weren't bad. Kind of catchy. Very Motown for white people. I now have that "Rehab" song stuck in my head in endless loop but since I'm very unlikely to ever hear it unless I actually want to it's not making me want to shoot myself.

But the one question I have to ask all my Brit friends, is that what you mean when I see you use the word "chav"?
