Kids...
On my way to class this evening, I popped in my Isley Brothers CD for the drive... Just as "Between the Sheets" was playing as I sat at a stop light, I noticed the car to the left of me and a youngster saying something... I turned the music down and asked him to repeat himself:
Me: I'm sorry?
Youngster: Yeah... I was just asking you whatchoo know about that Biggie.
(huh)
Me: Uhm, what Biggie?
Youngster: That Biggie you're over there rockin'.
Me: I'm not listening to any Biggie... but "whatchoo" know about the Isley Brothers?
His response was a blank stare, a sheepish grin and a shoulder shrug. Funny.
It's amazing how naive many Generation Y-ers are about music and its un-originality these days. I know that out of the world's majority, I'm a "baby" myself, but not only do I cling on to the fact that I was born within DAYS of the end of Generation X, I grew up around a great deal of what I consider "good music".
It reminded me of the time I worked for Pacifica, and our radio played Ashanti's "Foolish", and one of my employees was like, "I just can't understand why she would up and steal Notorious B.I.G.'s song like that"... I replied that Biggie (or perhaps Puffy) stole it first, and she seriously didn't believe me. So I had to find DeBarge's "Stay With Me" just to prove it to her. She was about 19 at that time...
Of course, this same chick who, when I downloaded the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" for a ringtone, she starts dancing, and says, "ooh! I love Mariah Carey"!
... right.
On a random note, I was having a serious Strawberry Airhead Jones when I saw them at the gas station... but raydawg88 won't let me have one. :-P
On another random note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO retrosoul!!! Semagic told me to tell you that.
And more funny Star Wars stuff from blogthings:
Your Star Wars Pickup Line
"Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care what you smell!"
What's Your Star Wars Pickup Line?
Your Amazing Yoda Sex Line
"Feel the force!"
The Amazing Yoda Sex Line Generator
I had a feeling that Yoda used his saber to slice the wrapping of his prophylactics!
