We both have a point.

True conversation that took place in our home on Sunday evening.


Dan:
What's that song, the one about (sings) "I'm not sixteen for the moment" or something?

Haley: Well, that is not how that song goes at all, but it's a terrible song, so I don't wish to talk about.

Dan (laughing): Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that "Thou shalt not utter the words to any sub-par songs in the presence of the Almighty Music Nerd." Forgive me, your highness.

I was going to argue in this post that I'm not that much of a nerd, and that Dan is exagerrating, but then while I was writing this, High Fidelity came on Comedy Central and so of course I stopped to watch it. (Because thou shalt not click past the best music nerd movie ever when it is on television.) But then I had to turn it off. Do you know why? Because I have seen that movie so many times that I know all the words, and so I noticed every time a scene was cut short so the movie would fit neatly into the time slot alloted for it. If I could use some of this brain power for anything even remotely useful, I could probably take over the world.
But instead I realize that my husband is right, and admit it on the Internet.
Still, that is a really awful song.

Merry Donner:

Dan, I think it's called 100 years and I like it too. Music speaks to everybody differently, so its not good or bad its just what you like or don't. Love, Aunt Merry Lynn

Haley:

Hey, Aunt Merry Lynn. You are, of course, right, but I have to rebuke you for suggesting to Dan that I may not be the world's end-all authority on what is good music. I have worked hard to brainwash him into believing that I am. Why? So that I can be in charge of the radio on car trips. :) Also, "100 years" is not really that bad of a song, it's more that I heard it 46,000 times over the course of about three months. And then I decided it was evil because it was taking over my mind.
