My first high school "music" social experience:
I'm a freshman in high school -- a nerdy computer geek sitting in Graphics Arts class. I loved that class, mostly because the teachers just let us do whatever we wanted on a computer all day. (Yeah, our school was special, we had iMac computer labs)
I had just learned about the song "Free Bird", and how it was an epic, nine-minute long rock song. One of the first "cool" facts I learned about music. I was eager to share this knowledge.
So, there's a goth kid sitting next to me, jamming out to music on his computer, twirling his black studded armbands, long hair flailing about, whatever.
I think: "Man, you know some cool music facts now! You should talk to him!"
2 minutes pass...
"Hey man, you should play 'Free Bird' next, that song is awesome, it's NINE minutes long!"
He looked at me, my glasses, then paused for a while.
*blink*
"Dude, I'm playing it now ... this is Freebird."
Yeah. High school was rough.
