Did you know people born after 1980 are considered adults now?
I let an eighteen-year-old girl do my hair today. She's actually quite good, advanced for her level, her instructor says. However, she's still 18. For sure.
18: So, do you like music?
Me: Definitely. Just about everything, too. How about you?
18: Oh, I love music. All kinds, too. Music is my life!
Me: Really?
18: Yes, I love it!
Me: Any favorites?
18: I love Rock the most!
Me: Oh yeah, like what?
18: Ummm, like Nickelback. And Hinder! I really like them! What about you?
Me: Yeah, there are a lot of good newer bands. I guess I like some older ones, too, though. And I grew up on Classic Rock, so I'm partial to that.
18: Classic Rock?
Me: Yeah, you know... Led Zeppelin? Queen? Aerosmith?
18: Umm, kinda. Like I think I know Aerosmith... what are their songs I would know?
Me: What will she know? Hmmm? Well, they have quite a few. Maybe you've heard Sweet Emotion? or Crazy? Jaded?
Silence...
Crickets...
18: Oh, are those the guys with like, all the hair and stuff?
Me: Yeah, a lot of hair.
Yeah, I know not everyone has to know Classic Rock. Even if "music is your life!"

Funny, but my 18 year old was born to Led Zepplin lull-a-byes! And rocked to words like....."We will, we will...rock you!"
Too funny!
This is hilarious.
I used to think I was old when I had patients with birthdays in the 80's but the other day I had a patient who was born in the 90's. Boy do I feel old when I work with these kids.
That's funny!! a little scary but FUNNY!
Welcome to my world! I showed a picture of myself as a child to a coworker, and her student aide who saw it asked if I was dressing up fro 80's day. I carefully explained that it was actually the 80's. Oy.
shouldn't hair be her life? i'm just saying... ;)
btw, you haven't told me some of your favorite tunes/musicians so i can get you that mix cd!
Wow...it is kind of mind boggling...I feel so old...:(
They may be adults... but of a different kind. Much more wired into technology than into culture. I just met a 25-year old who does not know the Beatles.
they should teach music history class in schools - everything from aboriginal drumming to Mozart to Curt Cobain.
On Thursday I was having drinks with some co-workers. The bar we were at was near Madison Sq. Garden and was WAY more busy than normal becuase there was a Bob Seger concert that night. Fully 4 of my colleagues had never heard of Bob Seger.
Turn the page...
Singleton- Good, at least that's one!
Nicole- Yeah, wow... the 90's, that was just like yesterday, right?
RGF- I know. I was baffled.
Bre- HAHAHA! I understand.
Sizzle- I will get it done, promise.
GG- Oh, she did know about hair. Mine, anyway. It looks great!
Danielle- I know, more so every day.
Lia- Wow, I thought every American had to know the British Invasion. Yikes!
Ginger- I agree! A LOT!
Josh- Wow! Seriously? How is that possible?
Hmmm, THe Wifey was born in 1980.
