My wife and I are having children as early as possible because we don't want them to miss any good shows.

lame.  i'm petitioning to have my children adopted by the scene.  it takes a village.  and the village needs doormen. 

This is rare.

Also, if there's so many glaring logical flaws, point them out.

Always just feel so embarrassed for anyone that's married or especially has kids before 30-ish or so.

"Haven't you been paying attention?  Don't you know how tacky it is to have kids at 23?"

all the people you called posers ten years ago, the people you said weren't in it for the long run, have actually proven themselves to be exactly what you claimed they'd be.

Eeeeh, I doubt they're all that happy, these aren't persons of great passion we're talking about here.  They aren't led by their heart, or even their head really, they just go along and do "what they should" at whatever certain point.

YOU:"Why do you pay 600 bucks a month for an apartment that's not within walking distance of anything?"     

THEM:"I have a car."

My statement is the same as it was at the beginning: it's a bummer when people whom used to be somewhat cool get out of touch.

it is? in the beginning you were talking about getting old and married and having kids, with crappy jobs and crappy lives and crappy girls and not going to shows or being in bands anymore. for most people, thats getting in touch.

i have a crappy job.

I don't get why people automatically assume that some message board post made while bored late at night instantly equates with someone caring deeply about said topic.   It's called "filler"... This is a message board, something must be discussed.   Actually, it's a sign of a very weak stance if you have to resort to "Why do you even care about this?" as a counter argument.  It's not actually even an argument.

My statement is the same as it was at the beginning:it's a bummer when people whom used to be somewhat cool get out of touch.

Also, if there's so many glaring logical flaws, point them out.  That'd be way more interesting than all this one sentence, attempted smart-asssery.   

"filler" just like those people who are having kids? I guess we all make our own kind of "filler."  Dude, you're original post was so lame that it's amazing that you can even cop to a "geez, does everything have to matter here?" defense.  Sure, some folks have kids and fade away for a variety of reasons.  I myself have missed a ton of shows because of my kids and family, but I care pretty deeply about music so I do work pretty hard to keep it in my life.  But I can't assume or expect that other people will do the same.  I can't control their lives (and I certainly don't want to.)  If you're gonna keep living there are whole variants of this shit that are gonna take a bite out of your lifestyle.  When I told my parents that we weren't coming to visit them and I wasn't sure when they'd see their grandkids next they were all upset. Once I explained that the Blank Dogs were finally gonna play some NYC shows though and there was no way I could miss that they calmed down.

My 4 year old daughter is devastated that Pluto is no longer a planet and refuses to believe it because it was her favorite.  She also inquired about Jesus so I bought her some books on the Christ, and she thinks he's a magician.  And one of her favorite songs has been Pink Reason's "the Devil Always Wins" and we've broken out the drums and cymbals and stomped around the house marching band style on more than one occasion.  She's an awesome bullshit detector too because what does she have to care about?

My son ate part of the U.S. Girls LP earlier today.

Scene Child is my new band name

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that people with kids are getting offended, but whoop-dee-freaking-do, you're the ones that couldn't figure out how a condom worked.

Actually, that's probably it, the people with "unplanned" kids are probably the ones biting the hardest.

As for everything Dusty said(or pasted):learn what logic is.

wow. having a bad day clint? because you're coming off like a real asshole here.

[tango fistula]

I'm 42...

Married for over 10 years...been with her over 15
No kids...
I'm in three bands where I play something different in each one...
Have a venue called the Grumpus Room
Wifes a black belt in the martial arts and teachs high school and is in
roller derby so my rock action is of no concern to her...

I do what I want...have a decent job in an almost recession proof
profession so "settling down" is just never going to happen.
