## Transcript

[ MUSIC ]. Hi, I'm Claire Sudoff and this is, What's On Pop Chart this Week. So the Rocky Horror Show has been around for decades, and of course there's the 1975 cult film that's so popular, people still dress up and sing along to its songs. [ MUSIC ] But not in Carrollton, Georgia. The mayor of this small town refused to let the local community center, put on a production of Rocky Horror. Deeming it to risque. Do you live in New Jersey? Do you pay taxes? Then, if so, you might be interested to know, that the New Jersey state government will be giving $ 420, 000 to the producers of Jersey Shore in tax credits.

Snookie and her tanning bud budget, thank you. So Wilco has a new album coming out. The Chicago band's eighth studio album, The Whole Love, features tons of guitar freak outs and one sprawling track that last over 12 minutes. Nicolas Cage's new movie, Trespass, centers on a home invasion. Cage recently said that the movie hits close to home because he himself was once the victim of a late night invasion. It was 2 a. m. he said, I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a fudgesicle in from of my bed. That is really weird. Here are three things that you do not have to worry about this week.

You don't have to worry about looking for episodes of The Simpsons to watch, because Fox recently said that it is considering making a TV station dedicated entirely to reruns of the animated series and you don't have to worry about protesting a protest, because the Foo Fighters are doing it for you. The band recently protested the Westboro Baptist Church. You know the ones who picket soldier's funerals and hold up really immflamatory signs. Because the church was protesting their concert in Kansas City, Missouri. Good job, Dave Gruel. And finally you don't have to worry about Aaron Sorkin's work ethic.

Because he recently broke his nose while writing. So, how did he do that? Apparently he was reading some dialog back to himself while looking in the mirror and he smashed his face. Yeah, that still doesn't make that much sense. That's it, that's all we've got for you on Pop Chart this week. Text back next week and we'll have more. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ SOUND ]
