I pun you...foo foo

If anyone was at Hillside last Sunday they would've witness a certain board member's attempt at being "hip". This poor guy, who will remain nameless to the general internet crowd, attempted to make a pun about how old people don't know anything about "foo foo fighters" and prove that he was "hip" and "with it" when it comes to the music of us - meaning my generation - of young people. Exnay the hipney man...stick with the dylan.

FYI - the band is called "Foo Fighters"...it's ok D.C., even if the youth never forget the bungle, the old people will. Mainly because people as old as you can't remember past last friday...

wow such vitriol over this "bungle". i personally would feel slightly better had i never heard of this sub-par band leaching off the success of the founding member's former band, but i digress.

some seem to have missed the point of the reference in the first place. he was trying to show why we need involvement and leadership from people of all ages. his bungle actually helped prove his point, however unintentional it may or may not have been. it's not like he was claiming to have just come from a "foo-foo fighers" concert or that the "foo-foo fighters" were one of his favorite bands in order to seem "hip" or "with it" as this post claims.

i would hope that when we listen to others speak, we could get past the fact that not everyone comes from the same american sub-culture as we are. i would also like to point out that we will all be this "old" rather soon. hopefully (or unforunately) the younger generation will grant us leeway the same way we do others who may have a few years on us.

whoa petey-
methinks thou dost misunderstand the heart of the ancient of days (aka brint) - though he is easy to misunderstand, as he is so much older than you (27) & is far past knowing the difference between the dave matthews band and the lawrence welk show... watch out, you'll find the seeds you plant now with your elders (e.g. a.of.d) thou wilt reap what thou sowest. and dave matthews dumps poop in the river. can't even hit the toilet. probably wears diapers.
