[Knitting A Conundrum]

I didn't think exactly about how dirty it was...but I knew it was about being hot to trot!

[Miss Behave]

You're RIGHT! And it's always when the rest of the world is sleeping.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I did once to my son...but it was a misunderstanding of a particular word...but there are songs that just won't pass muster...Teen likes emo, which I call whiny boy music...don't really have to censor that too much.

[patton]

Funny, you have said that very thing to me.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Those do help the flu...but Gabz is the one with the flu this time...

[Dutchgirl]

Okay, when did you realize that "gonna give you every inch of my love," was suggestive? The song came out in '69 when I was eight. I figured it out around thirteen or so...

[xsmommy]

at this point at least, i still know more than all of them. i know all the lingo and all the song lyrics. my radio station is the rock station, i will go back and forth between the classic rock station and the regular one. if they are listening to it, i am going to know about it. it is not a hardship for me, i have always liked rock. xshub is into country music since he got old, and that's fine, but i am not interested in that and i think it is important to know what the kids are listening to. xsteen and her friends are going to see the KILLERS at Merriweather Post Pavilion in June. xshub has never heard of them.

i am trying to educate xsteen and xsboy in classic rock. xsbrownie likes the same stuff i do. one of her faves is TNT by AC/DC!

[xsmommy]

when was that? during the blowjob discussion or the masturbation one.... ? LMAO!!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I was 14....makes a difference...boy we loved it!

[xsmommy]

xsboy is not allowed to buy cds that have the parental advisory, but when they play them on the radio it is bleeped.

[patton]

"i said, listen, obviously i am still concerned about it, so we will discuss it til i feel that you have gotten the point!"

[Miss Behave]

Dang, I wish I knew how to post that little popcorn-eating guy icon.

[xsmommy]

obviously then, you are as immature and dense as my 13 yo, what can i say???

[Dutchgirl]

My kids thought they were being very hip when they brought up a subject listed in this song...

from the broadway show "Hair."

Then I showed them the book of Genesis...There is nothing new under the sun...

[Dan from Michigan]

I did once to my son...but it was a misunderstanding of a particular word

For years I thought the word "fuh" in the KISS song "I just wanna" was something else.

It was short for "fuhget" (Forget)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

KAChubby likes early sixties/late 50s, and bluegrass. I like classical, jazz, late 60s, early 70s, some disco and 80s, Celtic and a little bluegrass. Mostly anymore, I listen to Celtic music...I don't really like rap type music, and emo sounds like what I was listening to in the 80s...but more boring and whiny...I really loved early MTV...those were the years I was in college (didn't start college until I was 25)

[Dutchgirl]

My son was into a band called Korn, until I showed him how the lyrics from one of their songs was actually the words of the man who raped and murdered Polly Klaas...the same ugly words he said to her parents in court.

I explained how I felt about someone trying to make money from an action as devastating as that.

He understood.

[patton]

Me, too. LOL.

[patton]

Mea culpa.

[xsmommy]

whoa, i don't think i knew that. the only korn song that xsboy knows is their cover to the Pink FLoyd song, Another Brick in the Wall. it irks me bc he always thinks the recent covers are BETTER than the originals of these songs, same with Behind Blue Eyes, done by what's his name Limp Biskit, instead of the Who.
