Off Topic Playground


Recommended Posts

I consider myself a rocker.

Not to get.... "off topic"... but between a couple of co-workers of mine, the nickname "Rocker" has another between them.

For those of you who aren't as well acknowledged in MLB, there was a baseball player named John Rocker. He played for the Atlanta Braves during his better years, and was a very good closer during his time there, back in the 90's. One day, after a game against the Mets, he said during a post-game press conference (and I'm paraphrasing, so take it for what you will, please) that "he'd never want to take the subways in NYC, because he didn't want to catch AIDS from some faggot". Since then, he obviously earned the ire of just about every baseball fan in New York.

 

In any case, now my co-workers joke around with the name "Rocker" as a reference to John Rocker, whenever they say anything that might even be slightly interpreted as bigoted, racist, or just ignorant in general (which is quite a lot). :P

 

Anyways, back to the music discussion.

 

I like rock songs of all kinds. That's my 2 cents. :D
