David | MEMORY FROM 2003

This is How You Remind Me of Taking Music Too Seriously

LOCATION: Girlfriend's apartment, New York City

YEAR: 2003

TAGS: Nickelback, Women

PUBLISHED: December 7, 2007

Maybe a week or so into dating my future wife, I was hanging in her apartment while she was getting ready for us to go out... I was bored and nosey and started looking through the top of her mail. This was probably around the time where CD clubs were dying off and I noticed that she happened to a member of the BMG Music Club. I tried looking behind the cardboard to see what this lovely girl's taste was like. I had a look of horror and wanted to do that kind of scream in Raising Arizona after John Goodman and his partner claw their way through the tunnel of crap. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... The disc she received was Nickelback's Silver Side Up. I honestly thought, "this girl is pretty great, but gee, this isn't working out, I'm not sure," etc, etc. She then came out to see me with a weird look on her face and she said that she's tired of the club sending her CDs automatically.

I almost broke up with a girl because of a piece of plastic with a shiny disc inside. That's pretty sad. BUT it was Nickelback.

I had judge a person for the music they listen to as well and when I was about to call our friendship off, she showed me a completely different side of why she liked them. I felt so bad, her opinion made sense, it was reasonable. Who would have known that there is always a different side to someone's story. (2/13/2008)
