A father's proudest moment...

[Fossil Records]

The wife and I brought a new stereo home and set it up in the boy's room today. He's seven years old. Now, the geniuses that my wife and I are, we forgot to bring any CDs home for him to play in his brand new stereo. So I told him he could go down to the studio and pick any CD he wanted to listen to (I have a couple of hundred).

He picked Symphony X's V.

That's my boy... [wipes tear from eye]

 

[Androz]

jajaja, congratulations

 

[dargormudshark]

The youth must learn the ways of the X

 

[Zax666]

Congratulations! Now, we could only hope you do all nessecary efforts to raise a prog geek.

 

[Beelzebub]

I can only hope that one day my child will do the same thing.

 

[Pharaoh]

Very cool.
Watch out, you're soon to lose the rest of your collection!
HoHoHo, Christmas is coming.

 

[Emanuele]

Many compliments for your child!!!

 

[urinalcakemix]

My thoughts exactly. Damn, I had that album for months before I could realize that it ruled - and he picked up on it right away. Quite a kid.

 

[JHawk]

I believe the children are out future..

Congratulations! Now, we could only hope you do all nessecary efforts to raise a prog geek.

Oh please God no!

 

[Fossil Records]

Thanks all!

He had a friend over today and they were both listening. It's spreading...

Raising the boy well.

I don't think I could trust a 7-year-old with my CDs.

 

[Taliwakker]

Well done...but my boy has been listening to the X since he was 4..... He calls the song "The Odyssey" pirate music (because i made him close his eyes and listen to the intro and asked him what he saw in his head....pirates...close enough, but he still had to be beaten for getting it wrong ). Unfortunately he also likes that Kelis song 'Milkshake' so maybe i should be beaten

I don't think I could trust a 7-year-old with my CDs.

Fortunately he's a good kid and takes care of things. Of course, he also knows the penalty for scratching my CDs is death.

 

[Demonspell]

I don't believe in indoctrinating children, but somebody has to make the next generation aware of prog...I commend your son's first steps toward preserving the genre.

pretentious mode OFF

 

[Rose Immortal]

That IS pretty cool.

One of my worst fears about having children...that they will end up listening to garbage like Br*tney Spe*rs. EWW. I am glad YOUR kid won't be going that route!

 

[Soul of Ice]

You do realize most children originally like what their parents play because they want to be just like them. Then later they change just to be not like them (At least in my case and a lot of other people I know).

I remember my first album I bought was some Beach Boys stuff. *shudders*
