Random Duke Nukem Moment
Not too long ago I was out back in my garage cleaning it out - was a mess. So I'm hanging out there for awhile. The house behind me has some teenagers in it, and they're into Megadeth. Which is cool, as they tend to play stuff that I like because of that.

Anyways, the other day when I was out there, I hear the Duke Nukem theme coming from their garage, which I was like "Wait - WHAT?!?" - I walked over there, and said "Duke Nukem, eh?"

Turns out they didn't know the game, they only knew the riff because of the fact that Megadeth covered it. I had mentioned "I worked at the company that put that game out for over 16 years". Didn't mean anything to them. It was just a riff to them.

Really strange to hear that coming from a TRUE garage band.
