Of Daughters, Rock, Country And New Vs Old


Recommended Posts

I was watching American Idol with my 12 yr old daughter (she was crushed when the girl got voted off). When they were doing the montage for the person leaving, I noticed some country rendition of "Home Sweet Home." I complained about it a bit and my daughter said "but it's Carrie Underwood!" Since I've never been much of a country fan, I find it particularly grating when they steal rock songs, particularly classic rock songs. Since my daughter has a bit of rocker in her somewhere (as she isn't opposed to a bit of squealing guitar now and then), I decided to let her listen to the real version of the song. So cue up Youtube and play her the Crue version. She listened for a minute, said "I don't like it" and left.

 

Saddened and feeling a bit old, I turned it up a bit louder. Still sounded pretty good to me, but I was completely struck by:

A. How young the boys looked

B. They looked way better without all the damn tats (and if they didn't have them in their 20s, WTF are they doing with them in their 40s?)

C. Still way better than Carrie Underwood, though she is significantly easier to look at

 

Don't know what the point of this is, but here they both are, judge for yourself.

and the old, tatted up version

Ya gotta check out the band "Broken Toyz" at Morgan's Pub in Calgary Tuesday nites for your '80's metal fix. The drummer filled in for Tommy Lee a few years ago. And yes...they play "Home Sweet Home"

Ahhh yes...the days when Tommy Lee didn't look like he had 15 different STD's and didn't give Dennis Rodman competition for most disgusting male in the tatted and pierced category.

 

I like blondie - not in a lesbonic way - but ever since she wrote that kick-ass cheating song about Johnathon Cheecho, she gets my vote for everything. And I hate ALL things country. Except Taco.
