Parents Just Don’t Understand

posted by on January 15 at 16:40 PM

I spent part of my weekend in Concrete, Wa (pop. 790!), doing research for my new nightlife column. Ok, truthfully, I was visiting my girlfriend’s family. At her mom’s house, there are two CDs and only two CDs in the CD player. They are:

Sade - The Best of Sade

and, more rarely:

The Clash - The Singles

Nothing ties these records together, and I’m not sure what these records tell us about their common owner, but I do know this: my girlfriend calls resin scraped from a marijuana pipe, “Sade,” and that’s about as close to that record as I usually like to get.

Correction: These are both “best of” records, and perhaps that tells us something about their owner, but still, Sade and the Clash. Concrete.

Here's the con:
Sade is really foxy and the Clash were really good.
They were both a tiny bit out of the main stream.
They're both best of CD's.
They're both from the 80's.
I think that your girlfriend's mom is my old girlfriend.
