Ticked Off
Heavy metal has-beens Twisted Sister, who have asked the Braves not to play their song I Wanna Roek when slur-spewing closer John Rocker takes the hill. "We've got Hispanics in this band, Italians...people who are Polish and Russian," said guitarist Jay Jay French. "We're all immigrants, all foreigners."
