The Perils of the Pixies

John and Mary have recently become fans of the Pixies' song "Gigantic." This pleases me to no end. For those who don't know, the Pixies were a precursor to a lot of the alternative/grunge bands that popped up in the 1990s. Kurt Cobain was a huge fan of the Pixies and borrowed their song structure or quieter, slower parts of a song coupled with louder, faster parts. "Gigantic" is a great example of this type of song.

So last night John was thrashing around his room to "Gigantic" as if he were in a mosh pit. He got so into the song he bonked his head on the floor and immediately burst into tears. He was fine in a few minutes but had clearly learned the perils and rocking out to the Pixies. I just wonder if kids will still be having mosh pits when John is old enough to go to his own concerts.
