Public Thank You to Rock Band

I have a few chief "thank you's" to the makers of Rock Band, one semi-sarcastic and the others genuine.

First of all, thank you to Harmonix for proving what my wife has been saying on car trips for a decade - I can't sing worth shit.  I started a Rock Band solo tour and was boo'ed off the stage twice in three songs (on Easy mode, no less).  I never knew I had such a tin ear.  The only song that I actually got through was Nirvana's "In Bloom" and even that was REALLY dicey.

My wife on the other hand has never scored below 90%, even on Medium.  Even on songs she doesn't know.  Even on songs she doesn't LIKE.  There is a good side to this though.  #1) I now have a lead singer for my band and #2) my wife is actually starting to appreciate rock songs.  I go through these songs and I say "Hey you remember that one from college?" and she goes "No...I didn't listen to those songs."  But now she actually kinda likes some of my favorite songs and that's COOL!

Last but not least, my wife and I have almost never played video games together.  I play shooters, she will occasionally play puzzlers or driving games like Burnout.  We played Band World Tour for an hour this morning, together.  I can't remember the last time we both played on the 360 at the same time.  Playing video games with your wife is COOL.

Thanks again, Harmonix.
