Local Dad Refers to Guitar as “Axe” Eight Times in 15 Minutes

(vie The Hard Times) BY ALEX SALCIDO 

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Local dad Mike Berg astonished a group of young musicians yesterday by using the word “axe” in lieu of “guitar” eight times within 15 minutes of interrupting his son’s band practice, sources confirmed.

“When he first came into the garage, joking that we needed to tune our ‘axes’ or we’d never ‘get any,’ I just shook it off,” said 16-year-old son Justin Berg, guitarist and singer for the punk trio Idiot Fox. “But then he stuck around and asked my bandmates what they thought of the ‘sweet birthday axe’ he bought me — calling it ‘cherry,’ and ‘pretty money.’ We all just nodded politely and I said, ‘Thanks again, Dad.’ But inside, I’m screaming. Before I knew it, things just got worse.”

ONR (feat, Sarah Barthel of Phantogram): “Must Stop (Falling in Love)” (2020)

ONR (pronounced like “honor”) is Scottish Singer Robert David Shields.

This radio friendly edit of his 2020 single replaces only one word from the explicit version, although that one different word significantly modifies the song’s meaning.

Either version is valid, though, and I actually prefer the one without the shock value of the more “adult” version.

Bit of an earworm, no?
