Fine. Worry.

 

Creep factor from most to least. 

 

Scenario 1. I'm driving in my car with a pal. a Taylor Swift song comes on the radio. I try to change the station. He stops me because he LOVES this song!

 

Creep factor: Heebie jeebies.

 

Scenario 2. I'm driving in my car with a pal. a Taylor Swift song comes on the radio. He starts belting out

I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you."

 

Creep factor: high. (Unless! We're both high or tripping balls, in which case I would probably start laughing, and would be amazed that he knew the lyrics to a TS song.)

 

3. He puts a Taylor Swift song on the jukebox at the local. 

 

Creep factor: undecided. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and appreciate that he put the song on for my wife or some other girl, who better be there.

So am I only to listen to age appropriate or music specifically marketed for my age group? No more music directed at teens or young adults? I'm 53 so I guess I give up the music of my yout.

No, please. Carry on. Whatever floats your boat. 

 

But, I get creeped out when I see an older guy at a Blackhawks game wearing a Patrick Kane jersey. For a kid? great. For an older guy? Go with Magnusson or Hull or even Roenick.

The Beatles were the first boy band that all the teen-aged girls loved. I wonder if dudes were called creeps for liking them back in the early 60s.

There was something in the Anthology about Paul getting a little creeped out that so many French dudes were into them when they played Paris early on.

I think they were called "demons" or "homosexuals"

I suggest going to bars that don't have Taylor Swift on the jukebox.

Ha - I love that Sleep's Dopesmoker is WAY up on that list. I have yet to have the patience to listen to it all the way through...

 

really? 

 

grab some green, spark up, float on. it's a great voyage.

 

 

 

i wish they'd do the whole thing in concert, though they do sections. "Cultivator" in particular is quite excellent. i'll drop that idea in their ears when i see them next month.

I only know of one Taylor swift song, but it was catchy. Just seems like she's got a good head on her shoulders and actually writes and performs. And doesn't have to be a sideshow to get acclaim. I admire that.

 

What is middle-aged these days?

 

I'm pretty sure I'm it.

sorry. i thought every male on the Wilco board was a dad.

I am a dad.

Now you're just being silly.

But those vintage jerseys are expensive. What if I like Kane or Toews? It's a young mans game and those are the young men we root for these days. Mikita,Hull (Dennis and Bobby), Esposito, Korral, Magnesson et al no longer play so I wear the current teams players. As a sox fan am I limited to Wilbur Wood? Bill Melton and Chet Lemon? I can't imagine that. I guess I should only go to games where they wear throwback uniforms too, because it's creepy that I love the current uniforms.

This conversation has jumped the shark

Ha. I have a Chet the Jet tshirt. 

 

Anyway, I'm not sure why you're concerned with what I think is creepy. 

 

But here's another one: Dudes should not wear a Cutler jersey. Or Robbie Gould. Those are for the ladies only.

Nirvana

Replacements

Velvet Underground

 

There...I said  it.

 

Yeah, but you think Springsteen is the greatest thing ever so...

 

I notice nobody has thrown out Dylan even ironically.  Is that the one artist you can't argue about?
