Unpopular opinions

Not excusing it, but and there are countless instances of celebrities especially in music being with girls. It is incredibly disturbing and I really don’t understand it. They even write songs celebrating it like “You’re Sixteen,” “She’s Only Seventeen,” “Jailbait,” etc. I think more than the biology my disconnect is the psychology. What the fuck would I talk about to a 16 year old? Well I can tell you because we have an 18 year old sitter. I talk to her about college because she’ll be there next year. I can think of so little common ground with your average teenager.

I like PJ ok but don’t listen to them much. Seen some good live shows. I appreciate their ethic. When grunge came out I hated them and preferred pretty much everyone else, especially the Melvins, Nirvana, Soundgarden… oh yeah I hated STP too. I don’t hate much these days, I just skip it

[flannel slut]

@chrisjohnnick no love for Pearl Jam but no hate either. Foo Fighters however used to drive me nuts

[mclaincausey]

Ah man yeah I guess I spoke too soon. Foo Fighters do get under my skin a bit.

[Tago Mago]

The Carpenters. Their existence offends me

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago yeah but I think Karen was regarded as a pretty legit drummer

[Tago Mago]

@SKT true, but being a virtuoso does not automatically mean great music. The guys in polyphia may be great on their instruments but their stuff is unlistenable wankery to me

[chrisjohnnick]

Foo Fighters are one of those bands where I'm not going to buy an album, not going to spend money on tickets, and not gonna really think of them ever. But I wouldn't turn down a free ticket to a show. Saw them for free at the Ryman in Nashville on Halloween a few years back.

[chrisjohnnick]

Also, U2 sucks.

[SKT]

I can’t go there on U2 I’ve got a lot of core memories attached to them in the 80’s. Personally I would say they really dropped off after Joshua Tree

[mclaincausey]

Yeah. That’s me. I can’t even stand them now but loved that record. And to a lesser extend Achtung Baby. Everything since is supremely annoying to me

Fooies suck more without Josh

Uies suck more with Larry. I feel there is a theme going on.

JP, FF and U2 all worse without a decent drummer.

[NickD]

@mclaincausey Park me squarely here on U2.

FF - I don't hate them, but they are one of those bands where the greatest hits is all you'll ever need of their music.

The death of the mechanical bicycle makes me sad.

[gazza61]

@Bridger I love wearing good boots but when it's a long walk to the pub I wear trainers.

[Bridger]

You could always grab an Uber @gazza61

[gazza61]

@Bridger not good for the planet.plus I like walking.

[Bridger]

You're a good man @gazza61

Bill Gates would endorse both your environmental and fashion choices

[endo]

I can do long walks, like a day visit to a city, in my wescos.

[Bridger]

Same @endo - not Wescos but I only travel with boots or wear them all day at festivals. Good boots are comfy.
