I found this item passing by H & M today. When I was a teenager, I was a rebel for listening to Iron Maiden: that was the devil’s music. 30 years later, it’s on tank tops sold in trendy shops to people who probably couldn’t name a single song…
Wait, is this what they call getting old? This reminds me of reading about Dee Snider of Twisted Sister
telling Marilyn Manson (and I paraphrase): “Enjoy being the devil while it lasts. In the 80’s the PMRC dragged me before Congress, but today my songs are played in baseball parks!”
Seriously, it’s great to see that these amazing bands are still doing well and reaching new audiences today!
