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.

Start em young cranky. Then they won’t know why they love that damn music.
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.”
Metallica? Ugghhhhh.. That’s old people music… Dont you have any Heaven 17 or Goggly Goggle?
Why wait? I do that now… Except when I’m in a country bar, I replace “Metallica” with “Ronnie Milsap”.
You left out “whippersnapper”, I think…
I will say frelling, sir. It’s all about me.
“Barmaid! Another Lacted Ringer’s here, and keep ’em comin’!“
If I live to be 80, I want to be this guy.
“I’d recommend Tool but kids today don’t have the needed attention span.”
Then looks like Radiohead for sure will be lost like tears in the rain…
Slipknot for me
Hmmmm.
Damn kids with their hip jive slang.
Get off my lawn!!
Just for the record, #9 should read, “…Lactated Ringer’s…”.
Thank you.
