Wanna have fun? Find someone’s favorite old song, subtract the number of years ago from this year that it was popular, then subtract that number from the year the song was popular and listen to the hit songs from that year. Oh… the pain, the horror… Muah ha ha ha!
I have this much with my children. Once my son responded to some advice of mine with “Dad, you don’t understand that, you’re from the middle ages!” But, when having computer problems or math questions, he would still come and ask me.
The Beatles, Beach Boys, and Elvis, artists of my teenage and twenty-something years, are as older now than the very earliest beginnings of ragtime music were back then, when Edison recording cylinders were the way recorded music was listened to.

Nostalgia, as some wit put it, is “remembering the past without reliving the pain.”

I am a bit older. Think about it this way.
