“But, even you old folks should know who the most popular stars are today. It basic pop culture awareness. If you don’t take a minimal approach to keeping up, you will be dispatched to the dustbins of life.
It’s this attitude that keeps your grandkids from visiting,”
Very humorous post.
If my grandchildren judged me by my knowledge of pop stars and pop culture I would be glad that they didn’t visit.
Lucky for me they aren’t that shallow.

Its not a matter of being shallow. Its a matter of remaining relevant.
An educated person understands what is going on around them. Dismissing current culture with a wave of the hand is not doing you any favors.
If you wish to communicate with the younger generation, you need to understand them. I can assure you, you do not.
As if I ever expected my grandparents to know anything about the Rolling Stones when I was a teenager. I didn’t want them to. What’s more pathetic than a 65 year old today who says he listens to Rapcrap. LOL! Trying to relate to the kids that way just makes them laugh and destroys your own credibility.
