In Chart's March issue, Jeremy was quoted a few times in the article "Chart Attacks the Junos:"

1. Under 'Embarassing Juno Moments' he's quoted, along with a few other bands, saying: "How about last year? I woke up soaked in my own sweat- I hope to the sweet lord, it was sweat! - and the last thing I remember was hugging Gil Moore from Triumph. If anyone out there could tell me what happened that evening, I would be very grateful. Who am I kidding!? Gil! Please don't do this to me! I have needs and wants that would benefit the both of us!"

2. The second one is under the question "have you ever been involved in any Juno Award scandals?" and Jeremy answers: "My ex-girlfriend dropped one once, hence the "ex", and it shattered on the inside, so it looks like it's full of precious coloured glass. I say it's a Hall Of Fame Juno. Unless they get too close. Then I have to smack their hand and ask them to leave."

3. And last, various artists were asked "Where do you keep your juno award?" and Jeremy answers: "I like to put them in full view for my ego. One is on a string, in my kitchen, in front of my fridge. Another is on the dash of my slowest car (I mount it on the roof, if there's a lot of traffic). I also had one hollowed out and I fill it three times a day with filtered water for my unquenchable thirst. And I keep the other one taped to my Mom's back." Thanks to Lindsey for sending this to us.

More on Chris Benoit!  Before he won the title, he would always be the first wrestler to enter the ring before his matches, meaning that "Whatever" would be cut off before the first chorus. Now that he is the Champ, he will be entering the ring last and this means more of "Whatever" will be heard. Thanks to David for keeping us informed.

March 16, 2004

Here is what the folks over at Wrestleview are saying about Chris Benoit and his entrance music: "HHH says that one match doesn’t mean that you are the best. He admits that he did tap out but it took 2 men to defeat him last night. HHH says that the target is now on Benoit’s chest. Before he can continue about talking about when the sling comes off and how Benoit won’t be a champ for long, out comes the World Champ (and Canada’s own) Chris Benoit (still the best entrance music). For the full report, click here. Thanks to Tim for passing this along to us.
