imagine creaky voice:

"Those kids today, they're not makin' music! It's just noise! Nuttin' like
the things we did when I was a lad! Now, THAT was music, I tell ya!"

Seems to me my gradparent's parents said that about Sinatra and Bing Crosby
and Duke Ellington, my grandparent's generation said the same thing about
the 50's rock icons my parent's listened to, my parent's generation said
that about the late 60's/early 70's, my parents, grandparents and all the
baby boomers say it about the music I grew up listening to in the 80's and
90's. 

Boy, I can't wait until I get old enough to act like my parents. I'm gonna
start practicing the wagging index finger now. Gotta get me a rocking 
chair!
I'll be sittin out on the porch with a bottle of scotch, wagging my finger
at the youngsters, sayin with my ol' creaky voice: "You kids today don' 
KNOW
from music. When I was your age, now we made some music! Nuthin' like this
junk today!"

With any luck, the kids will do the same thing kids have always done. Tell
me to go to hell, do it their own way, and crank it up!
