Hi all. I dunno what kind of first post this is, but I guess I might as well get the embarassment over with. James Taylor. 80s hair bands. George Michael. Marilyn Manson. And, uh, I heard a rumour that there ain’t no party like an S-Club party. But that’s unconfirmed. ---

I like more of the bands named than I dislike. Not going to go through them all b/c . . . why bother? ---

Are Def Leppard and Jethro Tull uncool enough that I should be embarassed? ---

Yes, be very embarrassed. Except _Aqualung,_ for which you need only be mildly embarrassed. ---

Oh, and on a complete hijack, “Dijon Warlock” is quite possible the funniest fucking name on this board. ---

I’m not really ashamed of my Tull collection, in fact I love torturing my unenlightened friends with it. I have the biggest car and don’t drink, so whenever we go out I hold their ears hostage, sometimes for hours on end. If they’re really being obnoxious then I haul out The Grand Illusion (Styx) which I don’t even like that much anymore, just to watch them squirm. ---
