Most people in their teens and 20s haven't actually accomplished much of anything with their lives, so they tend to define themselves by their artistic tastes. Anyone who doesn't share those tastes is essentially rejecting their life choices and who they are as a person, so they can get particularly bent out of shape…

I recognized Morgan's picture immediately even without seeing the text that it was from SG. Funny how that stuff sticks with you.

That scene of him walking through the parking lot was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the words "Ramis" and "SCTV" together.

200 5th will sometimes show the Saturday night UFC fights on Fox if you ask. It's only a marginal step up in atmosphere from Buffalo Wild Wings, but at least it's not in the Atlantic Ave mall.

I think Gen Y is typically thought of as starting in 1980.  So more like the tail end of Gen X.

Steel jungle gyms have padding now?  Wow, maybe we were cooler than kids today. That's the lamest thing I've ever heard.

@Nudeviking:disqus sadly, you missed out - Shudder to Think put on a hell of a show, I was fortunate enough to catch them a couple of times live.

I used to live in the UK - they're a discredit to the generally excellent music scenes I found there.  You guys can (and do!) do way better. I wish that music were exported rather than this.
