Well, we could always talk about skating medals.

But I like talking about my feet. We're due for another pic. Thanks for reminding me, Clark!And fuck you! You had it easy! My brother was a folk singer who carried his acoustic guitar everywhere in an attempt to pick up hippy girls. He was successful, by the way, but I had to hear that shit for years.
I have a hard time with the new wave of dissonant rap, but I'm assuming that kids are trying to piss my generation off by listening to it, and I respect that.
Can't argue with that choice. Never got the Dylan thing. I would add the Grateful Dead, too. A friend of mine who was a fan once said she wouldn't like their music either unless she was stoned at the time she was listening to it.

Perhaps after your next bout with athlete's foot fungus?

What do you mean "next bout"? What makes you think this bout ever finished?

classical music and excessive use of violins make my toes curl.

It's kind of like this in the bathroom, Clark...

I'm with you. My son plays the viola and would probably commit patricide if he read this.

Just because you didn't get it doesn't mean there's nothing there to be got! Too bad for you that you missed it.
I don't really hate music at all. I very very rarely feel such antipathy to it. I can usually see why those who like it like it, even if it's not my thing.
The only thing that approaches that for me is Rod Stewart and Cher's duet on "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered." That is an unfortunate combo.

Absolutely!
Absolutely!
What's "dissonant rap," RA? Stuff like Wocka Flocka Flame? That has NO FUCKING SUBSTANCE AT ALL AND EVEN THE ARTIST ADMITS IT.Most heavy metal drives me nuts. And stuff that sounds like the guy is burping instead of singing.

Hey! RA has the toes of a 15 year old girl.
I'd rather watch a poodle being groomed than listen to another Beatles marathon.

Then this ought to really throw you for a loop, KD: Labels don't mean jack but for the life of me I've never been able to figure out where the line in the sand between "heavy metal" and just plain old "hard rock" should be drawn.
The Sabbath - heavy metal or hard rock?
Montrose - same question
Thin Lizzy - again
Van Halen - last time, I promise

Do I detect a need for this -- or do I misread?
in response to Clark's question above:metal.
?
metal.
Hard Rock.
I think.
I'd rather poodle watch than listen to Gloria Estefan with or without the Miami Sound Machine.

Oh shit, Larry. Other than a chihauhau, is there any more worthless breed on God's green earth than a poodle?

Hey! There is nothing wrong with a poodle. A real one, size medium or large, not the yappy little ones. They are hypo-allergenic, and my dad is allergic to dogs, and we would never have been allowed to have a dog if poodles didn't exist. Instead, we had the best dog a kid could ever have. She had no idea she was a poodle. They're smart dogs, easily trained, and they don't have to have fancy haircuts.
Other than a chihauhau, is there any more worthless breed on God's green earth than a poodle?"Travels with Charley disagrees with you, Clark!

if a poodle is worthless, that's the fault of the owner.

Even the ones who bark at everything they see and hear - including their own shadow - and perpetually soil the rug which, come to think of it, is all of hem?

Mine was a tough poodle. She played every game we asked of her, pulled us on our roller skates and our sleds, and generally took good care of us. Never a rug soiled, never a shadow barked at.

I was thinking about the poodle thing, too. Of all the horrible tasks possible in the world, watching a poodle being groomed doesn't sound that bad.
I'm sorry, you're all doomed. The rhythm IS going to get you. @ RA - What in the WORLD!? I'm never going in your bathroom if it's like that!
@ Ko - Love it! Perfect Neil Young and Bruce Springstein impressions!
I don't mind regular poodles, but I think what they do to the ones in those dog shows is a travesty.
I CANNOT STAND smooth jazz. Yes, I know, I love Steely Dan. But trust me, there's a difference, a bright and shining line of edginess and complicated rhythms and chords, between Steely Dan, and Kenny G. And Spyro Gyra. And whatever Sting has turned into.
Clark, I'm not a big fan of the breed, but that's a personal preference and not a misguided belief that all poodles are hyperactive, noisy and incontinent. :rolls eyes at Clark:And yes, RA, there are many worse things to be forced to watch. I'd rather watch any dog being groomed than listen to The Doors, but I would listen to them before I would watch a Jersey Shore marathon.

If you can make it to :55 seconds in. I do love the line, "I'm hot, so hot. I'm like an ice cream cone with a cherry on top." HUH!? Hot like ice cream?

:::boggles at the thought:::
I don't like poodles but I think watching one being groomed would be sort of amusing.However, I'd rather have Lindsey Lohan as my chauffeur than listen to Bon Jovi.
Or Alanis Morrisette
Or trance music
Or sitar music
Or Bob Dylan or Tom Waits
This can go on all day...

I loved that Jimmy Fallon convinced SPringsteen to go along with that.

I love Tom Waits, especially Jersey Girl and Somewhere (from West Side Story).I do not like techno. I feel like I am about to go into cardiac arrest.
I can't stand what Akon and his business people are doing in the African music scene:Brainwash...
and more lies
I can't stand those singers who can't find a note and hold it. There are always a lot of them on American Idol -- they warble up & down like Jr. Whitney Houstons, forcing me to hit the mute button before my ears start to bleed.
I would rather watch a poodle being groomed than listen to "Bad to the Bone"

Let's talk albums that give you bowel spasms, make you want to put your head through drywall or a car window, or simply leave you feeling like you may chum the fish. Me first...
My roommate and dear friend Pete used to torture me with this in college. Bob Dylan - nothing to say and 14 different ways to say it.
