I'll Tell You this Much, It's Better than Sid Sings

My seventh grade self was more than disappointed.

I had been listening to the Sex Pistols for a few years.

So when I learned Johnny Rotten. Lydon. Had a band after that.

I needed to have it.

The idea was greater than the reality.

I was let down.

It was not what I expected. From a punk band. A member of a punk band.

Post-punk hadn't entered my vernacular. Yet.

All I knew. Was the disappointment.

Still. I tried to like it. Kept it in my collection. Would listen to it on occasion.

I even bought a t-shirt.

I was really trying to like it. Forcing it.

It. Never happened. The disc was sold. Like so many others before it. So many others since.

This year. I realized I probably dismissed something pretty great. Because I didn't expect it. Or wasn't ready for it.

Tastes mature. I've learned time and time again.

This time. No different.
