Nerdrotic and Dan Vasc in the Race to a Million Subs
Forget Ali and Foreman; the world’s greatest showdown is happening right now on YouTube. Gary of Nerdrotic and Dan Vasc, world-famous musician, are in a heated contest to see whose YouTube channel can reach 1 million subscribers first. The stakes are that, if Gary wins, Dan must sing a song Gary will compose about why man buns are gay. If Dan wins, Gary must sing a Bon Jovi song. Okay, comparing it to the Rumble in the Jungle may be overselling it, but the contest people are calling the Race to a Million Subs should be funny no matter what happens. As of this writing, both contestants are close to the mark; Gary has 958,000 subs, while Dan has 941,000. Gary is ahead, but if you’ve ever kept track of YouTube subscription rates, you know it’s anyone’s game.
This is a win-win for me. I happen to love Bon Jovi, and while I’m generally a “to each his own” type of guy, Gary hates enough things I love that I wouldn’t mind him having to belt out “You Give Love a Bad Name” or whatever he picks. And as for man buns, well, I’d feel manlier watching a My Little Pony marathon than I would wearing one. (Not that I could if I wanted to; my hair is curly and puffs out when it’s long.) And that’s the rub: with these things, the audience is always the true winner.
Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Did “Blaze of Glory” ever hurt anyone? I’m sure there are pools going on, and I don’t even want to know what Vegas looks like right now, but if you can, cast your bet and cross your fingers! And, if you haven’t already, give them each a sub at Nerdrotic and Dan Vasc.

Depending on where Eric July goes with the Rippaverse, maybe they could collaborate.
Lay Your Hands on Me and Let It Rock were good. To me, Bon Jovi was the last of the hair rockers, when Grunge came along and kind of killed the glamour era.
I like both guys, but after Dan Vasc’s “All Hail Friday Night Tights,” I wish he’d do an AlphaCore theme song and think that those kind of funny themes and jingles would be great for Dan Vasc.
I wish more composers would kind of toss their cheesy hits that no one wants to Dan cuz he can wail and howl. There’s something about a metal vocalist who can just let it rip.
