"I was raised on classic rock."

More like you were too lazy to dig outside of your parents' anemic and uninspired record collection or turn off KZOK. Not saying it's all bad, but "classic" status in "rock" music can be easily and rightfully extended to bands/releases from the 90's and beyond. And ditch the Led Zeppelin shirt. That mess is tired and about as definitive as having eating food and watching sports for hobbies.

Iron Maiden, Motorhead and Black Sabbath are not classic rock, since they receive little to no play on stations designated to play such music (ironically, because they probably rock too hard for the wuss-demographic who make up the majority of radio's audience). That's right. Black Sabbath are not classic rock. You might occasionally hear "Iron Man" and "Paranoid" on the airwaves, but that's it - which is criminal considering the plethora of raditude that band produced (Dio years included).

So when someone asks you if you like classic rock, tell 'em Dave Wood says "to hell with you and your misnomers."

Lots of sauce

Is it just me or are there a lot of commercials airing for liquor? Ketel One, 1800 Tequila, Jameson Whiskey, Crown Royal, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, etc. I've seen a bunch of TV advertising for these brands lately (much of which is terrible - maybe I'll get to that another time). This is the first year in quite a few that I've had cable, so I could easily be mistaken. But I swear the first time I ever saw a bottle of Old No. 7 was in a Guns 'n' Roses video, not in a commercial. I guess hard times calls for hard alcohol. Get strapped and loaded. Been there, done that. Without the gat. I'll stick with beer. Though I am hoping one of these brands' ads will show their liquor relieving a small child of a toothache. That I will drink to.
