He only likes the anti-ballads.
Elijah and I were in a Subway and apparently he didn’t like the music they were playing. He told me he hates ballads, and only likes the anti-ballads, such as Metallica’s “Fade to Black.”
I asked what he meant and he said, “Ballads are all about hope, and holding on, and…pushing through.” He sounded disgusted.
“I like the anti-ballads. They’re about depression, and darkness, and just wanting to die.”
Like so often when he renders me speechless, I stuck my fist out for a pound.
Lol! Um yeah, I think I would be speechless too.
Awesome. Maybe he’ll come around and dig on the Boston and ballads of the 70’s someday, if only ironically.
