Same planet, different worlds

Overheard Chez Borepatch:
#1 Son: Did you hear that Ronnie Dio died?

Me: The guy from Black Sabbath? Yeah.

#1 Son: Huh?

#1 Son: You mean from Dio.

Me: Huh?
And later:
#1 Son: Hey, there's this guy with a stage name of "Meatloaf"!

Me: He's awesome. "Bat out of Hell" rules.

#1 Son: Oh, yeah - I've heard of that.
I'm a bad father.

  3. Number 1 son and I were headed to the range on Saturday and he was trying to find a station when most are either classic rock or country where we were headed.
    He would flip a station on look at me and say "Some Dumb Named Band of Today" does this song way better.

    I smacked him..

    Who the hell is 5 Fingered Death Punch and Slipknot is not a band! It is a knot used when tying teenagers to the bumper!!!
    Geesh..

  4. My daughter came home from school once, exuberant about a CD loaned to her by her then boyfriend. As we sat down for dinner, she raved about this new-found wonder - some band named "Jethro Tull". She showed us the CD case, complete with cover art.

    Pausing briefly to rummage through the vinyl in the stereo cabinet, I pulled out my original LP of the same release, put it on the turntable, and cranked up the volume as much as I dared (the wife was more an aficionado of "The Monkeys", "The Turtles" and such).

    As the lilting chords of "Aqualung" rang out, I smiled and asked "Oh - you mean THIS album??!!!

    My daughter, my son, and I had a great time listening. It was all my poor wife could do not to stab herself in the eyes with a fork while muttering something about me corrupting her babies ...
