...And Justice For All came out in 8th Grade. We'd fallen pretty far by then. I remember being astounded that a girl in my class didn't like Def Leppard because holy shit, that was some inoffensive, feel-good easy listenin' music, by damn! What did she like? Duran Duran. No, worse than that. Whatever Simon LeBon's non-Duran Duran album was.

I mean, yeah, okay. Duran Duran had a hell of a run but that shit was dated when it came out.

I lived in concert shirts... pretty much well into my '30s. Without tours I'd have had nothing to wear.

Cannibal Corpse isn't a serious thing. They enjoy singing about meat hook sodomy.

FUN FACT: Autocomplete in Youtube when you type "meat hook" is "sodomoy."

Nothing wrong with singing about meat hook sodomy. It's just very much not my thing. It's not lots of people's thing. And it's pretty much the only thing Cannibal Corpse sings about.
