Every time I get around 5-8 years older, my humming, singing or whistling of music/songs goes further and further back by around the same number of years. I can’t explain it, but it has something to do with lyrics that meant something, back then, and music that could be written down without the aid of a phone book full of numbers on a screen!
Hi
I found that the generation gap for music is getting wider quicker.
I can vividly recall a conversation with a very astute 30 something just before I left work.
We oldies were talking about the ELO, as in the Electric Light Orchestra and she thought we were talking about the Enforcement Liaison Officer, a much prized position which would be up for grabs when I left.
60’s 70’s and early 80’s for me, after that things started going down hill in my not so humble opinion.
I usually play the more robust music when I’m in a bad mood, it helps, I advise my son in advance, I do believe he’s beginning to like The Clash, Ruts and The Angelic Upstarts
My tastes haven’t changed at all really, I’m just too old to pogo and kick dance, it wouldn’t end well !
