Last night my kid took her 2 daughters to a TS cover band concert at an outdoor venue. I was so disappointed. Yeah, sure, TS is the cat’s pajamas of the younger set but oh my dear Lord is she irritatingly untalented.
I was babysitting the brother, so when they got home I conveniently had Heart playing on the youtubes. Their gorgeous Stairway to Heaven tribute at the Kennedy Center was on when they came in.
I just mentioned who they were and 5 seconds of explanation.
Oldest kid was listening with one ear, but at least she was listening.
Have to counteract the awful with greatness as often as you can without being obnoxious about it.
How many of us never realized we were being educated on classical music while watching Looney Tunes? Which, btw, we play for kids, too, because they beat the hell out of anything done in the last 20 years.
Cheers :)
I can't listen to 'Ride of The Valkyries' without singing, "Kill Da Wabbit...Kill Da Wabbit...Kill Da Wabbit..."
