I Am So Old

How old am I?

Doesn’t matter.

How old do I FEEL?

Very.

Especially when I’m watching Bands Like This.

I met a friend I’d never met before last night—long story, another post—and he was hanging out with his buddies in El Corazon, a divey bar where a friend of his was playing in a band called Lessons in Regret.

That’s them in the photo. His friend Greg is the bass guitarist on the right. Before you click on a sample, allow me to give you fair warning that this is classified as “Hard Core” music.

We have already determined that Dot does not do well with music.

Throw in a mosh pit, a hard core band, and indistinguishable lyrics earnestly shouted by a rather geeky-looking dude, and you have to medicate me.

Which I did. Self-medicate, that is.

Nothing like two Coronas and a couple sips of Jagermeister to make it all sound like a lulluby.

It is age, isn’t it?
