when i was 14 or 15 years old, my father and i had far too many conversations that went like this:
dad: "i just don't get the music you kids listen to these days. you can't understand the words, and even if you could there's no message. the music i listened to when i was your age meant something."
franki: *sullen stare out the window* "whatever, dad."
dad: "your generation has no john lennon. what are they going to play on the oldies stations in 20 years? none of what you listen to has any lasting appeal. like this. what is this on the radio right now?"
franki: "nirvana. it's nirvana. GOD. you'll never understand me."
dad: "do you think people will be listening to this when you're 40? i can't imagine it. there's no substance."
last weekend at dinner he lamented the fact that nextell doesn't offer BTO's "takin' care of business" as a ring tone.
