Why is it the bands that most people listen to seem so obscure to me? Is

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

it because I've attained full old man fuddy duddy-hood? I'm not down with the happening music of today?

Have I become the ornery old coot that I always loathed? :shrug:

1. are you a geezer?

2. I have to admit, I do indulge in geezing, from time to time.

3. I'm not sure if part-time geezing counts

4. Actually, it has kind of gotten to the point where the bands I listened

to seem obscure to me. Damned incipient senility!

6. When I see people posting the music they listen to, I usually have never

even heard of 2/3 of the bands. Not only that, the big danger sign is that many or most of the band names don't even sound cool or ironically hip or anything, they just sound stupid or pretentious to me. The danger sign that I have attained fuddyduddyhood.

5. I have the same problem with mainstream stuff.

I hear people talk about John Mayer and Ryan Cabrera and Kanye West and I have NO freekin' clue who they are or what hit songs they've had.

But mention Ix-Ex-Splue or The Incapacitants or Wingtip Sloat to me, and I can converse for hours.

Weird, huh?

7. Yup, that's it. Don't worry, I'm in the same boat. :)

Actually, I've always been a fuddy duddy where music is concerned. When I was a teenager in the late seventies, I was almost exclusively into sixties music.

Now that I'm older, I find myself getting more into fifties Rock'n Roll.

I'm totally clueless about most music from about the last twenty years.

Nothin' wrong with being an ornery old coot IMHO.

8. Well don't rock the boat

and we will be boats against the current 'til the end.
I say revel in your geezerhood. They should listen to my music just as much as I should listen to them. They are mostly having this stuff forced on them by the music industry anyway. As for remakes, as SNL said about a movie remake - "this would be good for people who liked the original but wished it could be really bad."

10. Hey, I'm such a fuddy duddy that

I will only watch SNL with the original cast from the 1970s, so I don't even know what you're talking about. How's that for geezerhood?:D

9. I was the same way...

And then I signed up on the I-Tunes website and spent a couple of hundred dollars (over the last year ) and now I'm a hip and happening guy...in on all the groovy things eh...boss city and bitchin...it's all good man! come in to the 21rst century and feel the beat!
