Well, most I know in the younger generation listen to about anything(outside country). One minute AC/DC is on the CD player, Eminem the next, NWA after that, then Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, and DMX.

Yeah, well, I was probably exagerating about junior's taste for rap, although there is a bit too much of it in the house for this old fart's tastes. He and his mates dress the part -- oppressed members of the white-boy-with-elephantine-pants-and-gold-chains community -- but I came home the other day and Squirt had White Light/White Heat from Rock and Roll Animal blasting on auto repeat while he did his homework.

So if he likes Lou, there may yet be hope for him.

I've got the Bonfire triple set, the one with the radio concert in New York and the live gig in paris. Powerage is neat album, too. I grew up in Australia and used to see the seedies at the local pubs all over Melbourne. They were a real hard-workin' dirty band, three gigs a night circa 1975 or so -- and Bon in a close, crowded room was unbelievable.

So now that I've established my ruptured-eardrum credentials, you know who I saw tonight live? A gal called Norah Jones who sings and plays piano and who couldn't be softer or quieter but is an absolutely astonishing vocalist. I must be getting old.
