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.

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

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.
