I had a couple of pints of Guinness with my brother-in-law on Friday night. We spent a good bit of the evening moaning about young people's music. I told him that I'd just seen a "Greatest Hits" CD of some skinny-bellied babe who I'd neither heard of or seen before. He suggested that all new music should be banned. I added that not only should it be banned but that radio stations should be required by law to play at least one Billy Joel or Eagles song every two hours, and one Neil Diamond song each day. He said he would settle for one Neil Diamond song each year but eventually, and generously, compromised on once each month.
Having resolved one of the worlds major problems we had another pint of Guinness each, before briefly contemplating why my wife, a natural blonde when I met and married her, decided to change her hair color to something more reddish, and then we pondered where all the belly-buttons were hidden when we were younger ... before we went home and pretended (successfully) to our wonder wives that we'd only had 2 pints each all night.
Which makes me wonder: do they still make new music suitable for people bought up on the Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel?
Do you have any suggestions?
