Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 28, 2011
December 27, 2011
December 29, 2011
Transcript:
Luann: "Look what I got for Christmas, Grandad - a CD/tape player and a new "nine inch nails" CD!"
Grandad: "Very impressive. I got a new hearing aid for Christmas"
Luann: "Wanna hear my present?"
Granded: "Sure. Let me turn off mine"
Hard to believe this, now 17 year old, grew up listening to the same music I did. Luann time is cool. You age so slowly, no wonder their hormones have never kicked in.
The 1994 album from NIN is one of the best albums ever. Rolling Stone put it at #200 on their list of the best albums of all time. Seriously good stuff. So how on Earth did Luann record that âHey Boyâ junk? :/
Luann, you just got much cooler, even if you were just listening to it for one song ;) By time I was in middle/high school, only the âfreaksâ and the âgothsâ listened to NIN. Kudos for having an open mind (to Greg and Luann!)
I wasnât quite old enough to appreciate The Downward Spiral until 2002, and itâs still one of the best f***ing albums ever .
Each generation has its own musicâand I donât like yours.
@Ashburn Stadiumâ I grew up in Phillies territory in the early 1960âs. When bringing in a relief pitcher was a statement that âYes, this game is gone already.â
@AshburnStadium If youâre talking about this yearâs World Series, that would actually be 29 years. It did take the Cards 24 years to win another World Series, as they didnât win one until 2006. Of courseâŠit took the Phillies 28 yearsâŠ1980-2008.
Getting NIN in her life makes Luann a more interesting personâ glad she has something other than boys, clothes & school. (Not that Iâd wish teen angst & doubts about faith, purpose on any one!). My own prize is a Janis Joplin tape!
Itâs time to get Quill and Luann back in the recording studio to do some serious music! NIN should have been a great inspiration to this couple of budding musicians!
âNine Inch NailsâŠFeh! You need to listen to some real music, granddaughter. Here, letâs put in my new Johnny Cash CD instead. Itâs got this GREAT song on it, called, âHurtââŠâ
After the âvintageâ break, any predictions on where the current Luann storyline will pick up? Itâs got to be Tiffany. (But then, Iâve been wrong on everything else I thought was coming.)
@AshburnStadium:Ya now tape players are going the way of the 8 track players( (Yes I remember them being the NEW thing) and the LP records (Whats a LP)?
A spokesman for gocomics.com has reported additional sightings of coaster posts. Site admin Tony B____ from The Cartoonist Studio says coaster is a known troublemaker, and adds that when the troll didnât like what was going on, he would throw feces.
In other words, unattended bridge business as per usual.
All that music is past my time. When my kids were teens I was only in my late 30s but I insisted they use earphones to listen in the house (did not know about hearing damage 40 years ago but I knew I disliked it).
To me Nine Inch Nails are what you want to use in construction. My old record player still plays my vintage Edison wax recordings. nine inches across, a quarter inch thick, 78 rpm, scratchy as heck. Still sound great.

Play it loud now, wear a hearing aid later. And her MTV t-shirt really puts a date on things.

Prof_Bleen about 13 years ago
Luannâs still in high school, so in 1994 sheâd have been, uh, 1? At least Gramps has some taste in music.

@CC Alexander: everyone needs a vacation now and then. A few days of a retro strip may give Gregg the needed lift for a great strip next year.
