Very well put Gershon. I hear the stuff the kids listen to today and shudder. Just like the parents did when we were young. Great stuff. God Bless, JB

My own kids, and a lot of their friends too, tell me that today's 'music' is crap-ola. They like the oldies better too. Maybe they're old before their time. Who knows?! Thanks, Judy. :) gw

Oh, soooo true! When I would listen to Led Zeppelin, back in the day.. my beloved mother would always say "You call that music! I call it a bunch noise!".. as she would roll her eyes.. Ah, sweet memories of good times. A great little write so big in the nostalgia it evokes. Thank you, Gershon! Your distant relative.. lol.. Sue on the South Coast

Oh yes! Occasionally I partake of some Zep every now and then but without the eye-rolling it’s not the same hehe! 24/6? You take a day off from Zap? A day of rest? Lol!

You mean that you don't listen to Zeppelin anymore?! You must be suffering there on the South Coast. lol. ~ Myself, I listen to Frank Zappa 24/6. ~ Weasels Ripped My Flesh
