    But man, every once in a while you get that person who _clearly_ has some deeper understanding of sound and structure and reaffirms why the genre even exists in the first place. There's something ineffably catchy and mesmerizing about this video.

      It works so well because I work in a crazy old restaurant that’s been open since 1972, occupying a building that is much older. Our clientele and staff resemble the cast of the video and we are even reported to have ghosts. So anyway I forwarded this with your comment adapted to my situation and everyone thought it was hilarious.

We did go to an Alice Cooper show and that was fun, but I’ve been subjected to more Grand Funk Railroad than any human should ever have to endure. They’re the early 70’s Detroit rock version of Nickelback, ICP, Limp Bizkit, etc. He had a good CD collection though which for some reason had awesome shit like the RATM self-titled, all nirvana albums, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd... I nabbed those and they helped me through the GFR days.
