Geez, Farrar, you keep rising in my estimation. Not only do you like Queen, but you listen to George Carlin. Yeah, being an old fart, I find the current piercing & excessive tattooing trend a big hard to accept. Many years ago I briefly worked in a mortuary (don't ask, it's a long story) and every time I see one of the kids with 47 piercings and tattoos, I visualize them 60-70 years down the road and the mortician trying to make them look presentable.
