shroom

Had an wierd, awkward reversal today.

Had a visit from my lovely old neighbour next door. She's like.. three thousand years old. (seventy, actually)

She comes in, I make her tea. At the time, I had my iTunes going full volumn from my computer. Luckily, it was in my classical folder. She commented that it was nice to see a young man like me listening to refined, cultured music. I thank her, we chat for a while. After about ten minutes, the folder ends.

And then I hear "Are you motherfuckers ready to rock? Thank you for being a fantastic fucking audience!" roar from my speakers, followed by a live version of Ace of Spades.

I sit there in stunned silence for a moment, brain going dead right when I should be running into the next room to turn it down. She stares at me, also stunned.

Then as I start to appologize I get asked "Oh, Is that Motorhead? I didn't know you were a fan"
My jaw drops and all I can think is "WTF?" (in letters, words failed me at this point)

Then she says "I have my husbands old LP's floating around somewhere. Black Sabbath, Ramones" and she rattles off a list of music I didn't think sweet old ladies listened too...

All I could say was 'kay' when she invited me around to listen to them one day.

Live and learn.
