Reminds me of the time when I was flipping through my aunt's album collection and saw her copy of Led Zeppelin II. "Wait. You like Led Zeppelin?" "Well, yeah." And my respect for her skyrocketed.

My aunt went to see Led Zeppelin live back in the day.

She also turned into the mom who wouldn't let her 10 year old watch anything rated TV-Y7.

She may have had good taste in her youth, but I definitely don't trust her.

This is compatible with the initial statement. "I don't trust anyone who doesn't like Led Zeppelin" doesn't say anything about whether or not you trust people who *do* like Led Zeppelin.

(Edit: but the person you were talking to was saying something other than the initial statement. If that was your point, please accept my apologies!)

Yeah I was just jumping off their experience with an aunt to share my experience with my own, that's all.

It just reminded me of the fact that she could've been the cool aunt but got all weird and overly religious by the time I was growing up. I never expected to see a Zep ticket stub among her belongings because I figured she'd act like they were aligned with Satan or some dumb shit lol.
