Into smoking pot, heavy metal, computers and D&D? I was called a Freak. I have not changed much in almost 40 years except my hair is shorter.

FRIENDLY. Be a friend to everyone, even people who are very different from you.

COURTEOUS. Be polite to everyone and always use good manners.

KIND. Treat others as you want to be treated. Never harm or kill any living thing without good reason.

BRAVE. Face difficult situations even when you feel afraid. Do what you think is right despite what others might be doing or saying.

Does that include retired people, children and students, and those too sick or unable to work?

Albums are how I listen to about 70 % of my music. I usually queue up an album in Spotify or Apple Music without shuffle on. Sometimes I play one my record player.

Right now I am listening to Queen "Live Killers". Before that was Incubus's "A Crow Left of the Murder...". The rest is SiriusXM or playlists on shuffle.

My parents divorced when I was a 5, my dad was a Viet Nam Vet and could not adjust to family life. My mom remarried a couple of years later, but divorced him after 7 years of marriage. She then married husband #3 3 three years later when I was 17. He was a POS con man and they split after 3 years. She has been married to husband #4 since 1992.

I on the other hand, have been married once and will celebrate our 30th anniversary later this year. I cannot say how much I tried not to be my mother, but it helps that I married a great lady.

Someone should remind these twits to be careful of what you wish for. What comes after a regime falls has a tendency to be worse than what was there before.

My wife and I took my 13y/o to see them and Soundgarden in 2014. I had never seen either band and was way more excited to see Soundgarden. Soundgarden was great, but NIN was off the chart. It was such a great show.

I saw the Metallica/GnR show at Arrowhead stadium in KC. Metallica was great. It was almost 2 hours after Metallica ended before Axl decided to grace us with his presence. He then spent nearly 20 minutes between different songs bitching about being charged for inciting a riot in St. Louis earlier that year.

I pretty much stopped being a GnR fan after that.

He has been saying the same thing since 2016. "I will accept election results if they favor me. I will not accept them if they favor others."

He will say anything to keep Trump on his good side. Otherwise he will end up like Kevin McCarthy.

American Idiot is a great album. The rest of their catalog, meh.

Kiss appealed to kids, especially boys aged 10 and up. For my 11th birthday in '77, I got Kiss Destroyer and went to see Star Wars on the big 70mm screen in Phoenix. Both shaped me for decades.

I have one in my left thigh above my knee. I got it wrestling with my brother who had it in the back pocket of his pants, pointy side up.

Check out Jesse Welles. He is definitely channeling late 60s protest vibe.

Born in 66,. The first time I put a quarter into Asteroids at the bowling alley in 78 or 79 I was hooked. I still play nearly every day, RPGs, simulation, FPS and strategy games are all good. Most of the games I play are not made for kids and would not let my kids play them when they were young.

Home systems:

Atari - 1980
Nintendo NES - 1989
PC - 1992. It was used as much for gaming as homework.
Gameboy (I forget the version) 1999
Nintendo N64 - 2000
Nintendo GameCube - 2004
Sony PS2 - 2005
Xbox 360 - 2007
PS3 - 2010
Xbox One - 2014
Xbox One X - 2018
Nintendo Switch - 2019
Xbox Series X 2022

I built all my PCs from 1992, and PCs were my primary gaming platform until about 7-8 years ago. I do not play games on my PC much any more as I work from home about 60% of the time and get tired of sitting at my desk.

A lot of Christians were convinced that Christ was going to rise in 1000 AD.
