Adults these days,  :rolleyes:, all they ever do is complain about the latest generation of kids.

The next generation has been the worst generation since the first generation.

Reminds me of the Club Med ad I heard that used the song "Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)"  for one of its resorts ... at Chichen Itza.  :D

So there is this game that popped up on Facebook...today? Maybe yesterday? Where people list 10 bands they claim they have seen live but one of them is a lie and then their bored friends with too much time on their hands try to guess which is the lie.

I am just amazed at how fast this got spoofed and then the spoof gets spoofed and quickly the whole thing becomes part of hundreds of inside jokes that nobody who was not on Facebook in the past 48 hours would understand. Crazy.

I really hope my cousin didn't go to see Ratt.

I was on fb and it passed me by. Unfollowing 90% of my contacts has a very good decision.

I had heard about this because CNN ran an... :unsure: article?... :unsure: editorial?... :unsure: inane ramblings of a college girl? I'm not really sure but they ran something on this crucial issue:  10 thoughts about the '10 bands' Facebook meme, and one of them is just 'Why?'

I haven't followed CNN.com as closely as I did before the election; but I see their standards (which were not exactly high in the first place) have actually declined in Trump's America.  How many articles do you really need to run about Saturday Night Live?


In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Mötley Crüe (king of the genre?), Cinderella, Poison, Winger, L.A Guns, Whitesnake, Warrant, Dokken or even early Pantera are ok I guess for the genre.  :D
Could be worse, I mean it could be Bon Jovi.  :lol:

Guns N Roses.

Guns N Roses was most definitely not hair metal.

They were a hair band, though.  Most of the bands in Duque de Braganca's post weren't metal.
