When I went searching for songs with the word “adjustment”
in them, I quickly found Aerosmith's “Attitude Adjustment,”
which would make this an easy choice for me as an Aero-
smith fan, but there's no real way for you to know if the title
I'm referencing up there is actually the one by Aerosmith, or
if I secretly went with another song with the exact same title
by hip hop artists Trick Trick and Jazze Pha. In iTunes, this
song was marked with the Explicit label, so I thought I'd
better listen to the free 90-second preview first, because
I wanted to make sure I didn't pick a song whose free pre-
view was too explicit, but while listening to that preview,
something very unexpected happened to me that I haven't
gotten over to this very day. The sad truth is that I couldn't
understand a word they were saying. I even played it back
a couple of times, and I was waiting for naughty words
to jump out at me, but I could barely make out anything
they said. It just sounded like a bunch of noise. This can
only mean one thing—I'm old. I remember playing songs
for my parents when I was younger, and I remember my
mom saying, “I can't understand a word they're saying”
and she had that irritated look that only old people who
can't understand a word they're hearing can get. But this
time it was me. Me—that young, cool guy (stop giggling)
experiencing my first “old people” moment. I was sad.
I just sat there for a moment in stunned silence, and then
I said “F&*$ S#!& A@# M*%$#%” and in no time flat,
my wife stuck her head in the room and said, “Are you
writing rap lyrics again?” At that moment, I felt young
again. I jumped up out of my chair, but then I grabbed
my back and yelled “F*%$#% R%^$!” My wife then
said, “I can't understand a word you're saying.”
Peace out!
