Reminds me of a high school ski trip I took with a friend's family in the late 1980s.  We were driving up to Red River, NM and stopped to eat at a Pizza Hut in Dalhart, Texas.  This is a small town, and it's very redneck/country, especially back then.  

Like all Pizza Huts of the day, it had a jukebox.  It was almost entirely country music, which I liked just fine having been born and raised on it, but I was listening to a lot more hard rock and glam rock at the time.  So I played a couple of different country songs, but I also mixed in Dude Looks Like a Lady.  When it came on, I could tell that the local patrons weren't too thrilled about it.  They started looking around, I guess trying to figure out who had selected it.  They probably figured it out, too, but nobody said anything.

As we were walking out, I dropped $2 in that jukebox and selected Dude Looks Like a Lady to play at least 8 times in a row. 

I assume somebody eventually went over to unplug the thing and reset it...

I look back now, and it's kind of a dick move.  But I was a pretty good kid in high school and if that's the worst thing I did, then I think the world got off lucky.

Which could spark another discussion-- who's the best front man in rock music history?

I'd put DLR up there.  And Mick Jagger.  And Freddy Mercury.  Who else?

Robert Plant has to be on the list.

Man you ain't seen nothin' until you've seen Michael Anthony down a liter of Jack Daniels whilst ripping on the bass for 15 minutes.

I remember watching an interview of Michael Anthony back around 2000.  He said "Some people say you can't have bass solos at a rock concert.  I say give me a bass, 800 watts, and a crowd full of rowdy fans, and I'll give you a ******* bass solo that'll melt your face off."

I once spent $10 playing Take Me Home Country Roads on repeat on a jukebox in Pittsburgh

Also one of the first "digital" ones I ever saw, where you weren't limited to what they actually had in the machine, I played Chumbawumbas entire album

In my mind, it Freddie Mercury by such a wide margin, and then there is a fantastic conversation about who is #2.

Yeah sure, for an old broad.

You can't pretend she wasn't hot back in the 80s.

A chick with legs like that who can play guitar and sing is HOT. I don't care how old she is.

Ah okay.  Wasn't sure where you were going with that.  I agree. :)
