Simply DeFreakingPressing

It's 3:45 AM, and I flipped on the TV to an infomercial...

...starring Roger Daltrey.

It's for some Time/Life classic rock CD collection.

Worst part of all - it's a long-form 30 minute ad featuring a lot of depressingly blah-looking middle-aged people talking about how this was the music they remember from when they were kids.

Now, that has to be BS. I remember most of this stuff from when I was a kid, and there's just no...way...

...where's that "Delete" button...

Mitch, this happens in middle-age. Accept it;
deal with it.

Beans, I damn near bought a James Taylor collection
from one of those ads last week. I didn't like
James Taylor then; somehow, I've acquired the taste
(or lack thereof).

Ohmygawd, I'm becoming my parents...

I still listen to Rancid and Social Distortion, dagnabbit! I still can play every song on "London Calling" on guitar! I...

What? "London Calling" is turning 25 this fall, and Joe Strummer's been dead for over a year?

oh.

Never mind.

But I still don't like James Taylor.

Whew.
