My Dad And The BeeGees



So a few years ago the Bee Gees did a VH1 Behind The Music special, it was real cute. One night I was at home bored and figured I'd go watch TV with my parents in the other room. They were watching the fucking Bee Gees thing, and I am not a fan of the Bee Gees. In fact I fucking hate the bee gees so when I saw the program I told my dad "why in the hell are you watching this, the bee gees suck." I was also a little bewildered as to why the fuck my dad was watching this, my dad hates disco. It couldn't have been because my mother wanted to watch it because my dad is the type that would tell her it was crap and either walk out or just change the channel. Well my dad tells that they made some good music and I should watch it. I responded with "what the hell are you talking about? Yeah staying alive, that was very profound." My dad then gets this look on his face that means "you're fucking stupid." Its a look that I've gotten my whole life. He says to me "what are you talking about, they didn't make that song." My dad had no idea that the BeeGees where the same dudes who made all that high pitch testicle free music. He refused to believe that they could possibly be the same dudes, I couldn't believe that he didn't know. Shit even my mom knew and she doesn't pay attention to anything. So we argue about it and he's stubborn as fuck and refuses to give in. Then on the show they go into staying alive right there. My dad turns at to the television with this look of horror. As if he just found out his father molested him as a child or something. I began to laugh while my father stares and the TV shaking his head like no it can't be true. I told him "see they suck" and walked out as my father threw the remote at the TV.
