If I live to be 80, I’d like think I’d be in a bar and if someone asked for requests from the music server, I would say something like, “Play some Metallica, you pussies.” I might throw in a few muttered “damn punks” and “frelling kids” just to round out my curmudgeonly display.

I’m not sure what being 80 will be like. Probably lots of terrycloth involved. And pancakes. Lots of pancakes.

I’d recommend Tool but kids today don’t have the needed attention span.

Curmudgeons don’t say “frelling.”

Why wait? I do that now… Except when I’m in a country bar, I replace “Metallica” with “Ronnie Milsap”.

Then looks like Radiohead for sure will be lost like tears in the rain…

Just for the record, #9 should read, “…Lactated Ringer’s…”.
Thank you.
