Okay, I've heard more than plenty from certain leg-humpers around here (and one Fuzzy Dude that's even older than me!) that I'm some kind of old fart. But I have to tell you that even I am in total disbelief over this one.
You all know (or at least know of) my eldest daughter 1/2No Kitten; and that she has spent a lot of her life making bigger footprints wherever her father has gone. I have yet another daughter (Jessie doesn't get on here) who has had this young 'gentleman' sniffing around her for the last couple of years (since 7th grade). He even took her to the HS District's "Winter Formal" even though they now go to different High Schools. Here's the scarey part:
Jessie came out here to the dining room (computer room) with the phone plastered to her ear and screaming in this high squeakey voice. Seems the boy (we'll call him Arnold, 'cause, well, that's close to his name) had never heard of AC/DC! Now, that doesn't bother me so much, because AC/DC has never been one of my favorite groups. BUT, it turns out he's also never heard of BTO, CCR, the Eagles, Queen, Pink Floyd or Lynrd Skynrd! He's heard of Johnny Cash, but not Kris Kristofferson or Willie Nelson. I didn't even try asking him about the Doobie Brothers or Alice Cooper.
Now I realize that he's a (member of a religion that I won't mention out of courtesy, but it's based in a state just north of Arizona) ; but OMG, how can the son of people my own age - and his father is former Army - not have any clue of these American icons??????
EDIT: Not even the Allman Brothers
