What's the stupidest thing . . .
Luke:
Okay, fine, you're my heroine.
Also: La Creme has the right idea, methinks.
Switchblade:
Agree'd. I'ma go drink coffee.

Hi, I'm new but I figured I could just jump in on this one.
I went to go see Kings of Leon, The Secret Machines, and The Shout Out Louds this summer at First Ave - only to run into my Dad!
My Dad is 56 years old, scoffs at old men who listen to classic rock, and is a really stupid music fan. He loves newer bands and tries to out-snob anyone who will listen. He espescially loves Coldplay and Radiohead.
Now for the stupidest part:
This summer he bought tickets for us to see Coldplay at Alpine Valley and then bought more tickets to see them again at the Target Center because he thought I would be sad that Rilo Kiley wasn't opening at the Alpine Valley show. So I got to see Coldplay's gigantic stage show twice and my Dad still won't give me gas or food money.
And now for the funny part:
My dad writes down the set list on a yellow legal tablet attached to a clipboard. For the second Coldplay concert, he had typed up the previous set list and printed out a few copies. He gave the copies to the kids sitting around us.
He also likes to yell.
And finally, the scary part:
He mentioned to me that he's thinking of seeing the Arcade Fire and the Hopefuls this week. So if you see an old dude with a clipboard and earplugs, it's probably not a reporter ...

I guess I should be happy that he never got stuck in the music of his teens. I feel for him a bit. I certainly could go without hearing Sublime at any more parties.
Jed:
My grandmother is 71 years old and wears a black Metallica t-shirt!
Try to top that...

A guy I know from my grade is absolutely obsessed with 3 Doors Down. Not long after The Better Life was released, he bought a Superman t-shirt, and actually changed it to say "If I go crazy, will you still call me?" below the logo. I like the group, but that shirt fell just a bit short of being creative.
