Fuel reviewed

Fuel "Something Like Human" Sony 2000 reviewed by mim3@mim.org July 16, 2004 If you like Pearl Jam, you'll probably like Fuel. "Something Like Human" is pretty consistent all the way. It's all love songs and missing people type stuff. I also have to confess that I could not help wondering if Bryan Adams would have been Brett Scallions if born a little later. Chalk up Fuel as another band that needs a jolt to get a purpose in life worthy of its talents. Scallions should have gone with his instincts about the Iraq War: ""Carl and I were sitting back and watching the State Of The Union address, you know. We're just sitting there watching it and we're just like, 'Stop bullsh-tting us, just say we want the oil,'" Scallions said. "Do you really think he's got bio-chemical weapons and nuclear weapons and everything over there? Do you really think he has it, or is it just, that's the excuse so we can go over there and take the oil? I don't know. If he does have all the weapons over there and things like that we need to go over there and get those f--kin' things away from him. But are we just going over there to grab the oil or are we trying to save the world here?"" Guess by now we have the answer and Scallions should be singing songs about it. BTW, if Saddam Hussein really had nukes etc., would it have been a good idea to send 150,000 troops to get nuked? Perhaps that should be rethought too, eh, Brett Scallions?
