In Fifth Grade, When Metal Was God

Mr. Pokrob didn't know much about heavy metal. This was never more apparent than the night four of us dressed up as Kiss (post-makeup) with every intention of earning a coveted spot in the Stanley T. Williams Middle School annual talent show by lip syncing "Heaven's On Fire." Because on that night, audition night, when we bumped into him on our way to the gymnasium, he proudly exclaimed, maybe attempting to garner our respect, maybe just trying to be friendly, "So, this is the Motley Crue!"

It was an awkward moment for everyone.
