In Support of the Stone Temple Pilots song "Vasoline" being named the All-Time Grunge Anthem
Whereas, Stone Temple Pilots have reunited and will be touring the 2008 summer festivals, AND
Whereas, Stone Temple Pilots best album was Purple, AND
Whereas, the best song on Purple was "Vasoline," AND
Whereas, "Vasoline" starts of with that cool reverb humming, AND
Whereas, the lyrics of "Vasoline" are vague and yet important sounding [like every good grunge song], AND
Whereas, "Vasoline" has one of the best opening guitar riffs in history, AND
Whereas, "Vasoline" includes such great lyrical snippets as "blow a kiss and tried to take it home," "it has rendered me punch drunk and without bail," and "you'll eat the lies," AND
Whereas, "Vasoline" has one of the greatest videos ever made, AND
Whereas, the video includes folk dancers in lederhossen, clowns dancing, and Scott Weiland at his most healthy looking, AND
Whereas, it has Scott Weiland doing that weird dance with the cane, AND
Whereas, if Nirvana were The Beatles and Pearl Jam was The Rolling Stones, the surely Stone Temple Pilots would be The Who or maybe the Kinks, AND
Whereas, suicide should not be celebrated, AND
Be it resolved that, Stone Temple Pilots' song "Vasoline" will be considered the All-Time Grunge Anthem.
Stone Temple Pilots -- Vasoline
From the Purple album.
