Jack Batemaster's definitions

acid rock

In the 1970's and 1980's, what older people used to call heavy metal and hard rock. Now most of those people are dead, but sometimes you'll hear someone say it at the retirement home.

Junior, cut your sideburns and stop listening to that Acid Rock or you'll start worshipping Satan!
