Re: An Apology To The Skeptics...
Yeah, that's a nightmare. I told my little 12-year-old cousin Travis I would make him some cd's because his big sisters bully him and won't let him borrow theirs. Also, he likes Good Charlotte, and that has to stop. So I told him what I was sending him, and he actually had the nerve to ask me for some Eagles. I pointed out that 1. I don't own any Eagles, and 2. That I find their music to be alternately saccherine, sappy, lightweight, antiseptic, shallow and annoying. This is partly because of Don Henley's voice, which is like nails on a chalkboard. Also, they kind of represent everything that was wrong with 70's rock until punk came along -- they are soft rock, which is an oxymoron. It's too laid back and self-important. There is nothing wrong with being mellow sometimes, but have something important to say. And also because, well, they thought they were engaging in biting social commentary when in fact, they were just engaging in cliches. Not only that, but their lyrics were among the most misogynistic in pop music.Wolter wrote:Hey, that's the 80s equivalent of my 70s trifecta from hell: The Eagles, Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor!JennyB wrote:Jeez, lump in Sting with those douchebags and you've got your trifecta from hell.Dr. Medulla wrote:Phil Collins with more hair …JennyB wrote:Do you believe in Love?
Travis responded by telling me to lighten-up.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Actually, what I think I'm going to do is this -- you see, I hate his parents...they are awful leftover hippies and are the most self-righteous and hypocritical assholes on the planet. They claim to be the most tolerant and liberal people on the planet, but see, the thing is is Travis is totally gay. They keep insisting that he's metrosexual, but the kid makes Marc Almond look butch. So I am going to totally make him a cd full of the gayest stuff ever, starting with "It''s Raining Men," I'll throw in some Scissor Sisters, Erasure and some Donna Summer. I am actually really scared for this kid, because it's not going to be easy when he comes out.Wolter wrote:Cut your losses. It's too late for him.JennyB wrote:Yeah, that's a nightmare.
