Why does this come as such a shock to so many people? Is there some sort of law on the books somewhere stating that once a person attains the age of thirty-five or so, her musical taste must change? If there is, I missed it. If there is, I shall continue to violate it. So, sue me!
In the 80's, I was a faithful follower of MTV's Headbangers Ball. Bands such as The Scorpions (Of course!), Def Leppard, Guns 'N Roses, and Poison were and still are my passion. Sure, I'm a few years older now, but so are the guys in the bands. They're still recording, why in hell would I not still be listening?!
The day that a screaming guitar riff fails to send me to my "happy place" and I start listening to the crap that they play on so-called adult contemporary radio stations, someone PLEASE start digging the six-foot hole for me. For me to listen to garbage like that, my spirit would have to be completely dead. Put me out of my misery and bury me so that I might go to rock 'n roll heaven...
