One time at the bad brewery I worked at one of the part timers got to the brewery before me and thus had dibs on our Bluetooth Speaker. Unfortunately, this guy fuckin LOVED Sublime. I just rolled with it. I didn't want to be a jerk because I'd been subjecting them to Spazz, Negativland, Chinese Stars, etc. for a few weeks.

That day was a bottling day and, unfortunately, things were not going well and I was struggling to get fill levels consistent on our little Meheen. It sucked worse than bottling usually sucks (canning and bottling are awful). I was getting super stressed and it was just constant loving Sublime. I'm sorry if you're a fan but I cannot stand them anymore. I felt really bad but eventually I turned to the guy and asked him to put anything other than Sublime on.

if it wasnt for date rape id never get laid (DATE RAPE)

My favorite Poison fact: Years ago, some high profile guitar magazine, I think Guitar World, did a bracket/poll thing to determine the 100 worst guitar solo ever, and the “winner” was Poison’s
C.C. DeVille for his guitar solo from their live album/video, which was described as “10 minutes of a drunk guy swearing he can do Eruption, but just never quite getting it”.

You can't pull rank on murder.

You ever think about the high standard the average person holds musicians too nowadays compared to like 200 years ago when you might get lucky to have a popular regional act visit the local community and hear a song different from the dozen folk songs you know?

Yeah, me neither.

A guy I knew knew a guy who started a green chili business in Portland with a guy from The Shins and they'd get drunk and the shin's guy would try to play his music for the other guy and the other guy would always be like "I'm sorry, but I hate your band."

Imagine, that for most of human history, the only way to hear music was to make it yourself, or find someone else to make it for you. Still the case of course, but this fancy fangled technology makes it super easy. Back in the day you actually had to find someone.

Since we're on the subject of 80's music I'll share this little story:

Back in August the city was evacuated due to wildfires and the population dropped from 21,000 to about 1,500. I was one of the lucky ones who got to stay and it was surreal being in a nearly empty town. Not quite the opening to "28 days Later" but definitely similar vibes.

The worst part was the monotony. The actual evacuation was hectic but then it became a cycle of getting up, going to work, coming home, and just looking out over a very peaceful city.

After a few days I decided to drive around just to break the routine so I had fun speeding around empty roads like I was playing GTA with my windows down blasting "I think we're alone now" by Tiffany.

I thought you maybe meant with a skirt over jeans like Juno or something but I looked it up and yep, full-length dresses over jeans. Exactly zero of the examples given look fashionable.
