This made me feel a little old:
Yesterday, my 13 year old is listening to his iPod. And I can hear the music over the car engine and radio. So, we get home and I say "Do you always listen to your iPod that loud?"...he replies "not always, but when I listen to Slipknot I do."
Okay, I'm not that far removed from things that are "cool", I have heard of Slipknot, and have even heard some of their music. But that's about all.
We get to talking about the band. They were just here (in Denver) last week. I start telling him that it's just "noise" compared to Zeppelin, Rush, AC DC, etc. He tells me that I just don't know good music (which may be true)/
So, in order for him to "educate" me, we get online and start checking out the band.
I have to admit...I was a little freaked out.
It's not that I think there is something "evil" going on...just freaked out.
I guess I don't get the artistic merit of the masks.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, see for yourself:
