"You've never listened to In This Moment? We've been spending time together for how many years? I'm disappointed in you, Raven."

Stan never understood the way Pete would get so touchy about music. Maybe it's his opinion of conformists. Or it could just be that he has a passion for music. The world may never know. At least not for awhile.

"I don't know, dude, I just never really got around to it. Pete? Pete? Pete?"

Pete is too engrossed in his phone to care about answering the question to his name. Taking a minute to make sure it's the right thing he's looking for, he hands his phone to Stan, a determined glint in his eyes.

"If you don't like this kind of music, then I don't know who you are."

Stan isn't sure sometimes, not that he'll tell anyone that little fact. Turns out, it's a music video for In This Moment, go figure.

"Huh, what's this song called?"

"Sick Like Me."

Interesting. It isn't a bad song. It kind of sticks to you. The singer is a very attractive woman with blond hair, makeup adorns her skin. The video shows her and her band going a little wild, mostly her.

"'Am I beautiful, as I tear you the pieces?' I like that line. She has a sweet voice, too. What's her name?"

"Her names Maria Brink. Yeah, she's pretty badass, I guess. It's a shame she's blond, though."

Stan doesn't understand, how.

"Why?"

Pete gives him a confused look.

"Duh, blond doesn't scream exactly metal. It's not exactly dark and blond kind of says conformist bimbo."

"Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no."

Pete and the others may not be as bad as Cartman, but their opinions can sometimes piss Stan off.

"That's bullshit. I mean, she can sing, and if she writes the songs and music, then she's a kickass song, too. And she gets the job done. You've been raving about this band for awhile, so yeah, she gets the job done, so don't even pull any crap. Being blond has nothing to do with talent and being metal."

It shocks him that Pete doesn't have anything to say to that.

"There's a concert coming up in the next town-"

"I'll give you the money, just order the tickets, goddamn you."
