It's now official. I am officially an old fart. I was talking to my niece and had my Diamond Dog album playing in the background. She asked me who that was and I told her David Bowie. Her answer was..........."David, who?" This is the kind of stuff I used to say to my parents a long time ago. I guess they are right when they say "what goes around, comes around". Truly it does!

I don't know how it is where you live...but we live in a white affluent suburb and the kids here starting in elementary listen to .....RAP.

It drives me bonkers because the rap is so stale. I mean it just repeats itself over and over and over. Every song same kinda beat, same crap.

I took my ten year old to the skating rink and that's all they played for three hours. I wanted to gag.

The kids can't dance to it, they can't sing to it....what the heck good is listening to it?

When we still lived in MD, three years ago. We went to the red, hot and blue and they had a statue of Elvis. We asked the boys if they knew who it was and they said "Ace Ventura".

They now know who Elvis is because I tell them I want him to dress up like him every Halloween. No one's gone for it yet but someday I'll get my way. It was so much easier when they were little and I could push them around.

Oh man we LOVED that place.....my hubby bought a bunch of the hot sauce before we moved from Delaware. We always hit it on our way to DC.

YUM!

Well, I'm not a big fan of any particular group that I would know stories or nicknames and such. I was more a fun of just the music. At times I didn't even know who sang the songs and took me a while to figure it out.

I was born in '76, but my taste for music can stretch as far back as The Supremes, Richie Valens, Little Richard and Chuck berry. I, how ever am more of an 80's fan with groups like Culture Club, Huey Luis & The News, Michael Jackson, The Eagles, Foreigner, REO Speed Wagon and others. I don'tleave out the 90's when I'm in the mood, like Britney Spears, Back Street Boys, N'Sync and some rap stars like LL Cool J (I know he was earlier than that but liked him alot around this time), Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.

I am not too fond of anything from the 21st century but I can find on song here and there I can get hooked on once in a while. My taste of music is a variety that scares even me. Anything from Rock, slow dance (my fav), rap, reggae, pop, classic, oldies, salsa, merengue, bachata, free style, club music, dance, trance, house music, jazz, spanish pop, spanish rock and even metal.

I even listened to Menudo once if anyone has heard or remember them. I have a nice list of songs (only 6000+) from all these genres if anyone is interested in looking at them. Nice article.

Oh, BTW, I have yet to find anyone who has made me feel like an belong in a museum but it's only a matter of time with todays teens considering songs that are about 3 weeks to a month old already out of style.

I really, really dislike rap. It's so boring and unmelodic. I just don't get it.

It also seems to promote a black stereotype that is not really positive.

try to be open minded with my 15 year olds taste ,and to be honest, occasionaly I do hear something I like. But nothing beats Zeppelin...


There "is" nothing that can beat Zepplin!

Here's another thought that makes you think "Gee, I'm getting old."

I was stopped at an interstate rest stop this morning on the way into the office. I saw this trucker climbing out of the cab of her truck with a set of legs that just didn't want to quit. My first thought? "Who wears Daisy Duke's in January??" quickly followed by "Well, it has been rather warm for a VA winter." (It's currently 61 degrees outside and really sunny). My THIRD thought "Man, she's got a nice ass." Must be getting old ...
