I pray that in 30 years "SexyBack" is not looked at in the same light as Hotel California

One thing will remain constant. Kids (the majority of a generation) will always listen to music that was different from their parents. Parents will complain to their kids about the music and say 'What is wrong with the music I grew up listening to?" And then their kids will call them old and wonder why their parents are so 'uncool'.

Surprisingly, my kids have all liked music that I listened to when I was their age. I like a lot (certainly not ALL) of the music they listen to now.
Of course, I'm just very cool . . . . Really, my younger daughter's boyfriend told her I was cool, because I not only LIKED the Dead Milkmen, but I had seen them in concert.
