I was in the grocery store w. my kids over the weekend. The only reason my son came with me was so he could buy magazines. Not sure what the rock magazine is called these days, but that was one that he wanted. When I bought them, back in the day, they were called “Circus” and “Hit Parader”. I was so into heavy metal and I would cut out pictures of all the guys that I thought were hot.
He is reading while trailing along behind me. One thing you should know is I hate the grocery store. I always end up in that grocery store fog. I have walked past so many people I know, when I am at the grocery store. I just want to get my stuff and get out. How come grocery stores have such bad energy, anyway There I am looking at shelves of canned soup, trying not to get overwhelmed by the 500 different kinds, and get the correct kind so the girls will eat it. I am completely in the fog and my kid says, “ MOM, look at this. These guys are so COOL!” Shoving the magazine in my face.
My response was “What is that ! What are you doing! I don’t want that in my brain. Get AWAY!”
The picture was similar to this.
This is SlipKnot.
They are completely horrifying to look at. Who wears a Hannibal Lector mask for kicks They freak me out. The rumor is that the music is good. Maybe so, but they are gross. My son told me that tickets to see them are 85 bucks!
It made me wonder what my mother thought of Kiss or Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden. She was probably just at horrified as I am. But, kudos to her, she never banned or censored my music or books. I recently found out that my Father was pissed that I was reading Stephen King at 13. My mother just said, “Leave her alone. She’s reading. That is what is important.
One of my father’s fave stories involves Black Sabbath. A skunk was living under our porch. My father tried several things to get rid of it. Nothing worked. He took my 8-track player w. my Paranoid 8-Track and played it at full volume for 24 hours. The skunk left. Just proving to my father that I listened to crap.
Now my son listens to crap. I am just happy he doesn’t like rap. SlipKnot or Rap Mom says SlipKnot.
Too funny. And, can I just say that I agree wholeheartedly on the grocery store fog thing. I hate going grocery shopping. Ugh.
I do the grocery store fog thing a lot too!
my hubby listens to slipknot and has their Cd and even went to a concert of theirs not too long ago… i think they are freaky looking and i only listen to them when he plays it.
They look too freaky for me to listen too. I’m so glad my kids don’t listen to that or rap. Just plain old teeny bopper music.
