Grandma Was Such A Downer

(My friend’s grandmother just passed away and I’m helping her sort through all her belongings to be divided up to family members. Her husband was a musician, so she liked to collect records and memorabilia from their favorite bands and musicians. They mostly seemed to like music from the 50s-70s, Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, Elvis, many other people I’d never heard of, those kinds of things, and then…)

Me: “Uh… there’s a box here full of System of a Down stuff…”

Friend: “Yeah. Through some circumstance that none of us have quite figured out, she somehow accidentally bought one of their CDs one day and became one of their biggest fans overnight.”

(Coolest 76-year-old woman ever.)
