[Mr. DS]

She also heard, "Your daddy watches porno now that mommy's not around" and was even more deeply offended. 

Funny story.

Is it just me, or did any other 30-somethings get a warm, fuzzy feeling at the mention of teenagers enjoying a 20-year-old Guns n' Roses tune?

Coming from a 40-something, I did as most of the music nowadays is crap.

20 year old Guns N' Roses tune.

Maw, git me mah blanket while I sets here in the rocker.

[Yaddo 42]

At least it wasn't "I Used To Love Her (But I Had To Kill Her)". "Mr. Brownstone" fan myself.

And the teens and 20-somethings these days (the ones I meet anyway) seem to like 80s music they were slightly too young to enjoy the first time around.

[AndyC]

Ah, Mr. Brownstone. Still my favourite off that album. Very catchy tune.

Just thinking of high school and GNR, there was one English class where I actually got to quote Mr. Brownstone. Somehow, this very young teacher ended up with every slacker, headbanger and class clown in one room. We had some fun, I can tell you.

Anyway, we do a little exercise in which we find metaphors in song lyrics. Somebody early on has a good one with some mild cursing, and we're given permission to include coarse language if it is an integral part of the quote.

My turn comes:
"That old man, he's a real motherf**cker"

Got away with it too.
