  • “Am I Evil” by Diamond head, covered by Metallica, and done so much cleaner and better that I got into a full-on argument with somebody (pre-google) about it it not being an original Metallica song.

    Also, I have nothing but respect for Roberta Flack and think “Killing Me Softly” was a fantastic song when she performed it, the Fugees absolutely crushed that song. Listening to the original shortly after makes it fall a little flat.

    In the reverse of this, when I mention “Wagon Wheel” and somebody mentions Darius Rucker I get upset. Oh, you took a solid song with great harmonies and instrumentation, and you swapped it out to be a generic country song? Way to make it “your own” bud.


  • Funny enough, she actually really likes Detroit Pizza. But yes, she thinks Chicago pizza is trash (I tend to agree, I hate the way chicago pizza is made… it’s messy, has too much sauce, and requires a fork which, to me, defeats the point of the pizza).

    And I lived in New Jersey for awhile, and the pizza there, with a few exceptions, was some of the best pizza I’ve had (and I’m not talking that wide flat greasy stuff you get at NY street corners, I’m talking the pizza made at the restaurants run by Italians that are about half Italian restaurant, half pizza joint).


  • So no joke, I talked shit about pineapple on pizza for years. Then, I can’t remember why specifically, but we had someone over and asked what type of pizza she wanted, and she said Hawaiian. And there was some leftover. I grew up poor, and we do not waste food, so I decided it was worth trying it.

    It was amazing. I immediately felt silly for being so against it.

    My wife still refuses to try it on principle (she did grow up near NYC, so she has STRONG opinions on pizza).
