Signs You Live In A Rock and Roll Household

While watching the Wizard of Oz with my 8 year old over the Thanksgiving holiday, he came up with this little nugget as Judy Garland launched into Over The Rainbow:



"Hey, she's singing the same song that Me First and The Gimme Gimmes sing!




What are the signs in your house?

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

...the mysterious way that the classical cd's work their way to the bottom of the heap while Neil Young and King Crimson keep floating to the top....

The cats do the meow-mix dance in a much faster, much more up-tempo beat.

For us, it's the collection of hand percussion, guitars, and picks scattered amongst way to many CDs that no longer seem to find their way back onto the rack.

The real rock n roll households are the ones with a full drum set in the basement or the garage--where the band practices.

The stereos in every room...the teens (or pre-teens) that wear headphones while they're doing their homework.

I know that listening to Mozart is supposed to assist the intellect in doing homework, but I can't convince my daughter of this.

We don't always have a rock n' roll house, but we always have a musical house.

the phone rings, but no one knows it because we all have headphones on!

Well, we don't have stereos in the bathrooms yet. I'd like a shower cd player though. For now, I either turn the music up loud, or leave the door open.

When we got married and bought a house, we had to distribute the stereos. Four of 'em.

Our 400 CD's are always strewn about the house in some way or another with the most commonly seen ones being Stone Temple Pilots and AC/DC.

There's no country, pop, or classical ANYWHERE. Even our Christmas Music is rock and roll (ever heard of Trans Siberian Orchesta?)
