Hey, I've watched punk everytime it shows up, from Bing Crosby, to Elvis, to
The Beatles, etc...It's all just fine with me, but my personal taste in
music runs more along the lines of Fourplay, James Taylor and Norah
Jones...but that's just my personal taste. It's all valid, there's room for
every bit of it, and kudos to the successfull ones, whether it was talent or
luck. Generational? Kids yelling about how nobody understands them, etc, is
great when you're 16 and feel alienated and loaded with teen angst, but if
you've matured a bit, and still think, "Hope I die before I grow old", is a
more telling, (and brilliant statement), than, "They say that anger is just
love, dissapointed", you are in a state of arrested developement, living in
the past, or think high school is the highlight of your life. But hey...all
the NickelCreedLimpPuddlesOfNirvana will always be around to help you relive
your youth...enjoy...just turn it down when you're around me...been there,
done that. BTW...Doritos may be loud, but they suck, snack-wise...
