37. Love the Oldies

just changed my playlist again - god how i love the oldies :)


i worked with a guard yesterday who - when i mentioned oldies - made this gagging noise. i was shocked. i then asked him - as i do a lot of people upon meeting them - if he at least liked the beatles. he stared at me blankly. i asked him if even knew any of the beatles and he slowly replied 'john lennnnnooon...i think'. dear god in heaven - what is happening to the youth? i'll give you not liking their music but to not even know them?? no excuse - bad parenting. sigh......


but...i do work with another guard who upon realizing we liked the same type of music mentioned that i chose my first university based on a CSNY (if you don't know this band shame on you) song (and yes - i chose my place of higher education based on a rock and roll band - but it was very history related). he knew right away - Kent State and the song was Ohio. and this guard was younger than the dumb one - so there is hope out there i suppose......
