I regularly have dreams where bears are chasing me or breaking into my house. I blame the Fox and the Hound and The Great Outdoors.

Glad I’m not the only person who cries during Watership Down. 

With ya there about crying more during beautiful moments. And all the stars for Man from Snowy River. 

Absolutely. The score in any movie plays a huge role in influencing your emotions, and I feel like a lot of people never even notice.

They made a movie for Stone Fox, I think this would’ve been the late 80's/early 90's. I was probably 10 when I saw it, and it broke my dog-loving heart. 

And I wasn’t saying it does. But you seemed to be assuming I was a man, so thought I’d clear that up. 

They’re way better than that. I saw them live a few years ago and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Both the band and the audience were having a blast through the whole thing. 

I’ve always loved that album cover. You can feel the “FUCK THIS SHIT” attitude practically pouring from that photograph. 

Yeah, I’m a woman just FYI. 

NIN and Nirvana are the bands that spring to my mind when I think of smashing instruments. Implying that there was sexism in the fact that I didn’t mention any female artists is reaching a bit, don’t you think?

Smashing your instruments so you don’t have to pack up after the show is way more rockstar than having a fake amp made specifically so you can smash it on SNL.

Good god, that’s such an accurate description I laughed out loud. 

I know Krist Novoselic knocked himself a good one on the head when he threw his bass in the air and failed to properly catch it. Pretty sure that happened at one of the MTV Music Awards. 

Nowhere did I say that Trent Reznor or Kurt Cobain displayed more genuine emotion onstage than female artists. Just this particular one. Shirley Manson kicks more ass onstage and off than practically anyone, male or female.

Gen Xer here. To be honest I was put off by the fact that the whole thing seemed so staged and phony (and those tweets proved it definitely was). When Trent Reznor or Kurt Cobain smashed a guitar or a synthesizer, you could tell it was motivated by genuine emotion.

This was especially hard for me too. My dad was a HUGE Tom Petty fan, and I grew up loving his music. I was driving home from work listening to the radio when I found out; I remember the DJ saying that one of the greats had just passed, and I had a flash of precognition that it would be Tom. When I heard his name I…

That man was so fucking talented. It really hurts to think of all the music we could have had. 

Same. I’ve worshiped David Bowie since I was six years old. My dad was a big fan and exposed me to his music from birth. Bowie has always been more than a hero to me, more like a god. I saw his death announced not 5 minutes after turning on the TV to watch the news that morning. I remember crying the word “NO!” so…

For some reason Chris Cornell’s death really threw me for a loop. My god, what a voice. It just seems so terribly tragic that a talent like that didn’t live to see old age. 

This woman was so good in so many things, but I especially loved her as the grandmother in “Spanglish.” The scene where she’s sitting in on Flor’s English lessons never fails to make me laugh.
