bettyandbob Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I recently added teaching water aerobics to my duties at my rec center job. I'm teaching the arthritis class, so not heavy duty movement. I elected to just stream music from the google Motown Dance station. Lots of fun Motown tunes for an hour. Today, a 23 year old lifeguard thought my music was good and wanted to know who the artists were. I've actually been through this before. At age 12 my oldest (now 22) discovered various classic rock artists and asking me if I'd heard anything from Van Halen or Bruce Springsteen. Apparently, he'd been temporarily deaf each time he got in the car. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 This is how I feel every time I have to ask my teen and tween who's singing whatever song they're listening to at the moment. I'm totally clueless about most new music :rolleyes: Thankfully, they have great taste in music, but that means I have to ask "Who is this again?" an awful lot :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Or they think the songs they are humming come only from the movie. haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 apparently - paul mccartney appeared on something (briefly) with kayne west? anyway, some popular with the bopper crowed. someone posted a comment that his (paul mccartney) career will now be made. . . . . :mellow: :huh: :svengo: almost as funny as the girl standing in line to watch clueless (based upon emma) commenting what a great script writer jane austen *is*. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 In the young lady's defense, I don't know all the names of Motown artists, and I'm pushing 50. There were just so many. It's a lot easier to "discover" more artists now via youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I feel old when I hear songs and movies being remade by younger artists. WHY? What was wrong with the original? Your new version sounds funny to me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I feel old when I hear songs and movies being remade by younger artists. WHY? What was wrong with the original? Your new version sounds funny to me! money. they remake movies for the same reason. bring it to a "new audience" so they'll make new money. I was in a store the first time I heard madonna singing diamonds are a girls best friend. :eek: no. just . . . NO. :ack2: :ack2: girl . . you ain't in marilyn's league. actually - it was bad enough to make me leave the store without buying anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 someone sang a karen carpenter song at a reception. I had to go listen to the real deal - and so I went onto youtube . . .she died in feb. of 1983 . . . . I remembered when they were releasing music . . . . I felt old. she had such an amazing voice. trivia - the song came from a bank commercial. richard heard it on late night tv and jumped that they needed to record it. it's become a classic.
