Brevity by Dan Thompson for December 13, 2024

It must be a Canadian joke.

Oh the horror. I used to call them Nicklecrack.

I was surprised to learn they are from Hanna, a little town (under 3,000) Northeast of Drumheller in Alberta.

First I didn’t like them. After a while I got somehow used to the sound and even bought a CD for a day long drive to Stuttgart. Helped through the worst tiring stretches.

Ah, Nickelback. The musical punchline of the 00s.

What I can’t understand is, how people hate of Nickelback, and then go and enjoy Foo Fighters.

It sounds exactly the same to me, if not worse.

It makes no sense.

bought something worth 45 cents from 50Cent and got Nickelback

How they remind him.

They’d sure like some figgy pudding.

A kin to the watered down American version of Life is a Highway.

They went the way of the nickelodeon.

Nickelback? Isn´t that the deposit for a beerbottle?

On replay.
