Dear God.

My eight year old (who is also home sick) is playing his iTunes through earphones (so as not to disrupt my listening to Weird Al. I just looked over to see what he was listening to.

He was listening to Metallica. At eight.

Where did I go wrong?

I hope you're feeling better and recovering from yesterday's procedure.

It sorts sounds like House of Plague over there. (not sure if that is the feverish plague or the angst and doom music plague)

I don't see why listening to Metallica at eight is worse than at any other time of...

Oh. My. Gods.

You mean he's only EIGHT YEARS OLD.

The Bad Mommy Brigade will get you for sure. :-)

What's wrong with listening to Metallica? If it will make you feel better, I can send him some Apocalyptica, which is a band that does instrumental Metallica covers on cellos. Or the Metallica album recorded with the San Francisco Symphony. =)

I dunno, maybe it's the loss of innocence thing. Also -- what is he going to be like as a teenager?

James has S & M -- I love the version of "Enter Sandman" that's on there. You can really hear the musical underpinnings to the screaming guitars.

Well, *which* Metallica? :>

Probably an Alex Keaton-esque Young Republican as an act of rebellion. ;)

At least it wasn't The Double Black Album? ;)
