Ah to be 14
I always get a weird feeling any time I see something I know from the Internet in a "real" publication, but several music magazines have had little blurbs about Pandora in them.
But that's not the point of this post. Pandora just brought up a song called "Black Funeral" by a band called "Dragonlord" when I was looking for something else. And it's not bad rock metal, but I can't really take it seriously, either. On the other hand, I get the feeling if I were still 14, I'd have loved it. There's just something endlessly 14 about a band called "Dragonlord".
I've actually noticed a bunch of things like that lately, comics and movies and books and songs that I can appreciate, and know would have rocked my world if I'd found them as a teenager, but don't now. Because I ran across other things that rocked my world when I was a teenager, in different or similar ways. I can appreciate the quality, but I feel like saying "I'm sorry, that position's already been filled." Or maybe I can just see some of the problems with them, not just the awesome. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
