in the mall department store. Second, if they are so "anti" why were they singed to a large label? Assuming they were signed by a major label of
course.
One night at a party, their video was on and this guy couldn't stop talking about how great they were. I was so tempted to be a dick but he seemed
nice so I gave him my two cents and said that I thought they weren't very good. He took major exception to my statement. He claimed that RATM is
this generation's Zepplin. I told him that I didn't even know what that meant but I still don't enjoy their music. I just figured our conversation
was done but about 30 minutes later he was still a little pissed. He came back and wanted to talk about it.
I told him that no matter what he said, the band is still something I'm not going to listen to. I'm just particular about what I listen to. See ya
later right? Nah, he kept at it and kept at it. I told him to just forget it and "here have one of my beers." Nope, he wouldn't stop. So I punched
him in the face. I just couldn't take it any more.
He went home right after that. None of his "boys" said anything either. In fact they were rather nice to me the rest of the evening.
I still say, "Fauck that band." |
