Nothing makes me feel older than hearing my 80's angst music piped in to the doctor's office as Muzak. UGGH!! The Cure was never meant to be done instrumental and upbeat.

This reminds me of the time I was in the car with my niece, grooving to something rocking from my era...and she sat there looking at me like I was an alien...I stopped and said, "dance with me, this is great music." She rolled her eyes and said, "Aunt Carey, you are not cool."

Dagger in the heart! Since when did I become "Not cool?" to my 7 year old niece! LOL.

It was a sad day when I found out my music is now playing on the classic station!

Mmmm...yeah. Kinda like me trying unsuccessfully to turn my kids onto 38 Special. How could you NOT like 38 Special? I have serious doubts as to whether or not I did indeed birth them.

I'm sure your voice was like a rainbow-colored melody gently floating down from bunny shaped clouds.

:D

Have our kids been talking to each other behind our backs? I know you're on speed dial sooo... it's totally possible. Because the boys dissed me singing the Stones the other day. What is it with kids today? They also said when I say "totally" and "Awesome dude" I sound kind of wierd. Shesh.

That's just tragic. These kids today just don't know what's good for them.

Oh no they di'nt!

2008-03-14T21:18:00.000-04:00

This reminds me of a time, maybe 10 years ago (gack!), when I was at a club watching bands, and this girl-band from Canada got up (they were all, maybe 17) and said, "We're going to plan an Oldie now". They then started to play, "I Love Rock N Roll" by Joan Jett, and I started to wimper. I'm an oldie! Oi, Oi, Oi! Indeed!

When I logged on and saw that picture of Eddy and Saffy I busted a gut!! AbFab..one of my favorite shows and one of the most definitive and classically dysfunctional and warped parent/child relationships ~ where the roles are reversed!
Truly a poster child for why our own kids think we're weird!!
My kids hate it when I sing along to "Queen's Greatest Hits" in the care because they don't think I can do Freddy Mercury justice. LOVE it!

Oh, hi, Jozet. It's just me, mamatulip, coming to tell you how much I LOVE YOU.

I pretty much have given up trying to introduce the nephews to some musical diversity. they really thought donna the buffalo was way to weird when they where younger. they couldn't figure out WHAT kind of music it was, plus with the accordians and all, just way too WEIRD. i bombed out with the ramones last summer on a camping trip. oh well.

The only music "The Boy" seems perturbed with is some Classical and New Age..Enya,etc..He says it makes him sad.Everything else is grand..we do have a difference of opinion on Country or "cowboy music" as he likes to call it..;p

2008-03-13T22:47:00.000-04:00

For me the problem is not just that the bands I like make kids want to tear off their ears. My problem is that even if I like a band that a young person would give ipod room to that makes me seem somehow desperate (though not as desperate as the band is to have me move on and shake my booty to someone else).

2008-03-13T21:50:00.000-04:00

This sounds way too much like the conversations in my car. Try skimming the radio dial and check out what they insist are good songs - and you'll appreciate the angst your parents felt on those old car vacations...

Of course, our parents were wrong!

Child #2 trying so optimistically to spare your feelings gets. me. right. here. (pounds chest with fist and whispers softly: The walls were shakin'. The earth was quakin'. My heart was breakin'.).

2008-03-13T17:33:00.000-04:00

Amazing. Not 2 weeks ago I was doin some banging on the steering wheel to AC/DC's Back in Black and my 13 year old scoffed at me when I told her this was MY good ol days!

She said that "nobody listens to this" so I had to point out that we were listening to the RADIO and that SOMEONE was listening to it!

She is under the mistaken impression that I have always been a no-fun, play by the rules mom!

2008-03-13T15:01:00.000-04:00

Ha! What a riot! I wasn't a rock-and-roll girl, but my lullaby songs for my kids include Simon and Garfunkel's "Kathy's Song." They both know it by heart.

I love the image of you rocking out on your steering wheel!

2008-03-13T15:00:00.000-04:00

I always used to say, "no song, Mommy, no song!" She would then tell me that someday I'll have kids and they won't let me sing. So here I am, no kids, and I can sing in the car all I want. I might just keep it that way.

My daughter finds my singing in the car intolerable. I have used my voice as a weapon on many an occasion.

2008-03-13T14:13:00.000-04:00

"It's just really annoying"

Yeah...I think my older daughter was trying to read. I should have told her that I was just preparing her for life in the dorms.
