Drone Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Sorry...I didn't realise I was!....But to some it does have an entirely different or varying definition! I know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six45ive Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I rebelled.......but against my peer group. Never did understand what all the angst was about. If you've got a cause, fair enough, support it. But I never did get that 'whatever an authority figure says, do the opposite' mentality. Right from an early age I seemed to have enough critical thinking skills to be able to judge a situation on its merits regardless of who was telling me what I should think.

PeteMorris Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Greed But there's enough rebel left in there...I suppose that, technically, that makes me a pirate, then. Yarrr and all that Now there's a good reason if ever I heard one...Sort of.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 For me at 17, it was the presence of too many Chief Gunner's Mates, and Masters at Arms in my life. Rebellion in Her Majesty's Senior Service was not an option. Ah well the army will always cure any rebellious teen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 My mum told me 'nice girls don't' so I did and along came my eldest son. A quick way for a 16 yr old to grow up because my parents said 'you had him, you bring him up'. That was 42 years ago and to my dying day I will be thankful that they took that stance. Is that why your 'handle' is wornout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Got into Rock in the mid 70's had a smelly old afghan and battered jeans. I sort of changed when I had to work in an office although I have always found it hard to fit totally in with the norm. Still go to gigs and still enjoy a good festival and usually I am to be found in the Nelson on a Fri/ Sat night still love my rock wouldn't change that for anything have met some really great friends along the way.

chem1st Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I think it was my parents telling me that if I didn't knuckle down I'd end up in a council house on T'Cross. Nowadays you would be very lucky indeed to get a council house on T'Cross. The youth of today have it tough. I am surprised they aren't rebelling violently.
