I would commit murder to have seen Motorhead!
What's your favorite Motorhead song?
Mines ROCK AND ROLL. Because, at least in my case, it's true.
"because if that's all there is, it aint so bad!"

[RCMerchant]

OK, do you live in a big city or a small town?
I live in a very small town. You can walk from one end of Main Street to the other in about, eh- 15 minutes.
I lived in NYC many times. That's f**king BIG.

I live out in the country, on the outskirts of a medium town (pop. around 30,000).

30,000 is medium?
Lawton is about 1,500 on a good day. Aint s**t around us either. Lakes. Swamps. Meth labs.

[indianasmith]

Well, the next town to our north has 250.  Most of my life, I've lived in small towns (2000 or less) or out in the country, like I do now.

I've lived here since 1987 when I came down from Zimbabwe to study.

While Lemmy was alive, I loved hearing 'I'm So Bad Baby I Don't Care' or 'Dr Rock' (which was the opening song the first time I saw them in 91), but after Lemmy died they released an album of covers that had him singing Bowie's 'Heroes' that to me blows the original out of the water. I'd have to say currently it is my favourite.

Nice! I saw them for Promised Land and then they went on tour playing the whole of Operation Mindcrime 1 & 2.

I live in a small big city.

I always imagine Texas looking like the TEXAS CAHINSAW MASSACRE. It was filmed in Texas!
It looks...desolute. But if I did live in Texas- that's where I would want to be. I don't like the city.
I hated NYC. Long Island was worse. I saw more crime and drugs and just flat-out crazy s**t happen on Long Island then I ever did in the Bronx!

Thing about Texas is there are a WIDE variety of landscapes here - 12,000+ foot mountains out west, swamps along the Louisiana border, desert, pine and hardwood forests, grassy coastal plains - a little bit of everything!

[RCMerchant]

I think I would go in the swamp.

Apparently the census department classifies where we live as "ideal suburbia" but why it merits the distinction I don't know. We're fifteen miles from the downtown of a tri-state metropolitan region of 2.4 million and about 6,400 people live in this community.

I avoid most of them whenever possible.

[RCMerchant]

^ I have no one to avoid. I know almost everyone in town. I been here most of the time since 1970.
I went back to NY a lot- I don't like NY. I liked upstate! But the city is f**ked up. Waaaay too many people. I went to school for about 2 weeks in the Bronx in 1979.  NY was broke. Garbage workers were on strike. People were just throwing their garbage out the window. Good thing me and Gramma Morris and Aunt Carrol lived 6 stories up. I was in DeWitt Clinton High School. All boys. They had a student lead shut down when they cancelled school sports. It was a riot. Me and my friend from Peru walked out to Poe Park and got drunk.
I didn't ever go back to school. I have no diploma.
