    I don't get the Beach Boys hate. But I wonder if 'We Built This City' is played during interrogation sessions in secret locations.

    The Beach Boys hate is because the went from being cool (they were cool when Good Vibrations was released @RaceBannon regardless of what the Tuffs in Olympia had to say) to cheese dick nostalgia faster than any band in history.

    Beach Boys in 1995 was a my first ever concert. And they were cheesy as fuck.
    The tuffs in Olympia would have beat you up
    Depends. I'd just call in the wrassling squad from Shelton @dflea for back up.
    Pretty sure the same shit would have happened in Shelton. The Beach Boys didn't get played at our parties, either.

    Starship is the worst band from anywhere.

    I saw Starship at the Taste of Edmonds in the early 2000's. About 25-30 people bothered to sit down and watch/listen. Couldn't decide if it was sad or pathetic that these guys were still trying to hang on and had to play events like this.

    Are you kidding me? I lived in an apartment building across the street from Civic Field from 2000-2007. I remember one Taste of Edmonds where Starship and Bowie songs were being played and I thought it was a cover band.

    I survived growing up in Shelton because I learned how to not get beat up by drawing attention to yourself.

    Don't worry though - I'd still have your back - by telling you to put that shit away if you pulled out any Beach Boys albums or tapes. Shelton is the kind of town where you say Metallica is the best California band. Pull out Ride the Lightning at a party and you're in.

    I'm sure I grew up a little earlier than @dflea but you had to know how to fight

    Daily at home and my first school fight was in first grade

    No weapons and teachers kind of let it go. No cops no real punishment

    At the now-defunct Spiritridge Elementary, there was a small muddy field behind a group of trees at the edge of the playground. During recess we'd go back there and play tackle football. We'd return to class all muddy and occasionally bleeding. I don't remember teachers ever saying anything. Mrs Mason the playground supervisor always let it go.

    I was lucky enough to have an older brother that thumped my melon on the regular at home, so I was ready to scrap at school at a moment's notice.

    Our playground duty teacher was this 500 pound beast, so you could get a fight going out in the field, and by the time she waddled over there, the fight was wrapped up and a fake arm wrestling match was going on.

    Then we'd get a game of smear the queer going and everyone would get the crap knocked out of them.

    Ah, those were the days, weren't they?
