You know, you whippersnappers out there really amaze me sometimes.
Here I go into the local used CD shop yesterday to get the new No Doubt CD for my daughter, and the pierced-tongue kid at the register says, "You need anything else?"
I tell him that I'm sorta interested in Radiohead 'cause I've been hearing a lot about them somewhere. He says, "That's my favorite band! What song did you like?" I say, Creep, 'cause that was the only thing I'd ever heard, but I really liked it a lot. He says, "Who else do you listen to?" I tell him that Better Than Ezra is currently my favorite band. He leads me over to the stacks and says, "I think you'd like this one the best."
He was right. The funny thing was, he said, "They are sort of like the new Pink Floyd, if you can see them live." I see why he would compare them to Pink Floyd now that I’ve heard them, even though I never cared much for Pink Floyd. He was trying to find a way to put it in my frame of reference.
God bless you kids who don't hate all your elders.
