I had a thought today. I'm sure its not insightful to any extent, or that everyones had this thought and I'm just late to the race. :0)
Have you ever had to work with or around the elderly? ;0) Don't they seem, when memory serves them right, always know what song is playing on the oldies' station!? Well the people who I work with are a decade to 4 decades older then me. So oldies to early '80 is usually playing. (Besides at my desk.) Whenever I hear people singing or humming along to a song, I try to take an interest. I usually ask who it is and start some dialogue. It sounds weirder than I make it out to be?
Can you imagine what the music will sound like 30 - 40 years from now? Will we here a Jay-z song, and have to explain to our kids who he was? Is an America Idol, the next Elvis Presley? (Just using that as an example, I only when Simon's being an ass or just hating one some one. Someone needs to help those kids move on. Some people sing for a living, some people don't. Off on a tangent...)
What oldies would I want my kids to listen to? Not that I'm thinking about having kids. Who are my "Beetles"? Who is our Frank Sinatra? Something to think about.
