"If you're not deaf yet..."

Mike Patton and Roddy Bottum of Faith No More star in this public service announcement for H.E.A.R. (Hearing Education Awareness for Rockers) - Circa 1990

Mike Patton 101

If this girl wants to cover Mike Patton for her Rock History 101 class, I will not tolerate her pronouncing Mike's band Fantomas, as Fantom O's. What are you? Serving cereal?

Another problem: If I wanted to sit and be educated by you, woman...I'd appreciate you doing a little more than paraphrasing Mike's Wikipedia page. Turd!

Oh, and why they played the song "We Care A Lot" in the background completely baffles me as it was sung by Faith No More's original lead vocalist, Chuck Mosely. They should've considered using an intro that incorporated Mike somehow!

Mike Patton! I Don't Have Any Cake!

Happy Birthday to the ultimate in music...sometimes called "The Master of the Thorax" or "The Man With 1,000 Voices", Mike Patton, happy 41st!

Inuit singer to boot...
