Atticus Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 You people are really restrictive on what we can worry about. I've been not worrying about KevinG for a short while now and it's very uncomfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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 outI remember when we broke up the first timeSaying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause likeWe hadn't seen each other in a monthWhen 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 So, does saying "I'm ok with Taylor Swift" constitute creepiness? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 So, does saying "I'm ok with Taylor Swift" constitute creepiness? I'm glad you asked. It's nonchalant enough for me to not trigger any creepiness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Lammycat Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Pretty sure they were all still teenagers when the Beatles started, too.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 How old is Taylor Swift anyway? She's legal, right? By the way, who is Taylor Swift? If she's good enough for Neil, she can't be that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go with Magnusson or Hull or even Roenick.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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Moss Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 NirvanaReplacementsVelvet 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
