    this is a true story.

    in junior high and some of high school i had a friend who disliked music. once when dad and i were taking him home from his spending the weekend over at my place, we were sitting in dad's ford escort in the driveway with the car warming up as it was winter, he asked me to turn the radio off as he disliked the music, i then turned the dial to find another station, he repeated his request.

    the dude disliked all music. he said it bothered him

    i can understand if dad's ford escort housed bumpin mega bass woofers and extreme highs from tiny speakers up near his head.....but no
    dad didn't have a pimpin ride nor a big pimpin system.

    the dude disliked rock n roll, country, and anything music. yet he played the trombone in school band

    here we have a solo trombone performance

    what did i learn from my pal in junior and high school? i learned teenage trombone players hate music of any sort and i learned my dude was a weirdo.

  • My rule is that anyone who doesn't like either music or dogs is trouble.
    If they dislike both, they are likely serial killers.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
