  1. slopey- would that I could do that 🙁

    The only music I “hear” is what I heard before my hearing deteriorated to this point. When some music is played, if I heard it back them my memory fills in the blanks. New music? forget it.

  2. “What is the age that it becomes “cool” to like the music your parents listen to?”

    I don’t need her to like my music any more than I need to like all the operas my parents love. It’s a question of whether and when she breaks free from mainlining the stuff that oversaturates our popular culture and finds her own path.

    The best thing about a music culture centered on a handful of radio stations rather than computer-selected narrowcast playlists and just downloading what you want, is you becme accustomed to listening to things you haven’t heard before.

  3. JB, of course I know end date equals inducing (hello, I went thru this with the kid). I threw out the c-section perspective as an FYI in that it’s not all CONs but rather has some PLUSes too – ie I know some ladies dread getting cut open

  4. Slope – that’s one of the downsides of not living in a car culture. I was raised on my parent’s music that way – classic rock and jazz.

    Thank goodness my parents weren’t the type that let me pick the station.
