If you told me as a 16 year old while listening to “I Wanna Fuck You Like an Animal” that during a future pandemic Trent Reznor would win an Oscar for a Disney movie I would say “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHG FUTURE MAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CAR I’M VERY HIGH!!”

This made me laugh, even though the song is actually titled "Closer" (by Reznor's band, Nine Inch Nails, of course).

1. Walt Disney is definitely spinning in his "grave"...

...located inside the top of the Disneyland Matterhorn in Anaheim CA, so "they" say.

Uncle Walt woulda banned Trent Reznor for life, had he ever heard Nine Inch Nails, or even looked at Trent.

In 1977, my girlfriend and I were both "banned for life from all Disney Properties Worldwide" after being nailed by Disney Security in the parking lot for smoking a joint as we walked toward the entrance. We intentionally parked way in the back of the lot to give ourselves time to smoke the jay as we walked toward the entrance, but we were unaware of the hyper-surveillance, and within a minute or two, we were confronted by security in a golfcart, along with an Anaheim PD cruiser waiting nearby to haul us off to jail, if necessary.

I ate the joint, the security guy collected a cigarette butt off the the ground, sniffed it, said "so, you like marijuana, huh?" and put the (obviously) cigarette butt into a small envelope, then informed us that we were on the Permanent Disney Shit List.

Not much later, maybe early-80s and after, I not only went to Disneyland, but I was paid "big bucks" for my costume graphics used in some Disney movies.

On one of the 80s visits, we successfully smoked weed without being nabbed by security on the Monsanto ride where you shrink to microscopic level, and the elevated gondola/ski-lift thing. Not sure if those rides even exist anymore.

2. The Monsanto pavilion disappeared years ago.

So did the Carousel of Progress. I think they reconfigured to make room for Space Mountain and more. I haven’t been back in awhile, though.

Sheesh, in elementary school one year, I went to Disneyland eight times! It was nuts! Reached the point when one started getting blasé about Disneyland. Everybody having a birthday that year celebrated at Disneyland.

3. Not me!

I'd have said "If Danny Elfman can going from Oingo Boingo's 'I, I, I love little girls they make me feel so good' to become a top Hollywood soundtrack writer then Nine Inch Nails can, too!"
