You're right Randy...I am a closet boy band fan...nothing gets me more
excited than watching guys in their late 20's pretending to be tens years
younger, dancing like robots, singing cheesy tunes in falsetto, etc. Oh and
don't forget about the screaming girls...I just love the sound of screaming
girls. ;) I guess I'm just an old soul when it comes to music. Unlike most
people my age I'd prefer listening to stuff like Aerosmith, the Stones, the
Who, Pink Floyd, and just pretty much most any rock from the 60's and 70's,
rather than listening to the latest materialized, low quality pop band that
will only last a few months and then be entirely forgotten. Yep...I know
it's probably weird for a person my age to say that, but then again...I am
weird. :)
