Obviously this line has caused you to be deleted from my just-in-time written will! now go away you insensitive clod!

Seriously though, I don't see a problem with your musical habits, I guess it goes to show you have a very open mind which IMO is a great thing.

To whom it may concern -

If you feel embrassed, or guility, about the type of music that you listen to, or feel you need to justify your musicial tastes. . . . .Perhaps you should be embrassed. . . . . It is really just your gut instinct telling you that what you are attempting to justify is in reality "crap".

well, personally i don't think one should be too concerned with the intended age group of whatever music you're listening to. after all, how old area the guys that produce the teenage stuff?--probably same age as you, with a few exceptions. so, if you're 50+ and you like to listen to trance, heck go for it....

BUT......... kid rock!?--come on man.

you better shoot yourself before you get yourself a britney spears cd.

God no. I never understood why older folks automatically think they need to listen to music that fits their age bracket (meaning artists that are your age)...why should it be like that?

Listen to whatever makes you happy.

Your wife should be happy, It's not you're listening to that "same old" Jefferson Airplane recording for the 3000th time. Or "that same" Grateful Dead concert tape for the 2 trillionth time......

well, i doubt (but could be wrong) that there is a rap group extant who will be selling like hotcakes 30 years after disbanding, and half are dead.

if you plot the (d)evolution of music from bach to the present, there is decidedly less there there (extra points for knowing who said it, and where there is).

muricah has gone to hell, and it's all the oil companies' fault.

 

[tyrion]

What's wrong with listening to the same Grateful Dead tape for the 2 trillionth time?

 

[itza2mer]

Perry Como rules!

I'm not a fan of Britney's music...I don't mind her videos, however.

 

[elrod-tom]

Hey, I still listen to a lot of older metal and rock. For crying out loud, I own THREE Kiss albums.

I guess the thing that makes me feel so silly about this particular music is the whole hip-hop thing. Everything is b****es this and hoes that. I mean, I'd yell at my kids if they listened to this stuff.

Still, I like this stuff. Maybe it's just a change of pace, maybe it's the Detroit connection. Dunno...

Oh well...I guess I'll have to take the abuse for now.

 

[N@Z]

Grew up on classic rock & new wave stuff, still love them. Variety is the spice of life I say but make sure your other half knows that you're talking about music!

You can't win.

 

[dj_mocok]

music is for everybody and for any ages.... its universal...

well, unless its from justin timberlake, which is not music at all... hehe...

 

[Orpheus]

i had the TV on one night, on MTV. and then all of a sudden, my gf at the time says, "What is that NOISE!?" ha ha... it was Timberlake doing one of his high notes. funny thing is, she's a real FOB, and does not know any American singers. and not only that, she was completely serious--she really didn't know it was someone "singing!" yup, that's Timberlake for you--one of the sorriest "singers" i have ever heard. truly horrendously terrible singer. i have no idea what the chicks see in him--he doesn't seem all that good looking either. really strange.
