Playing Led Zepplin while I cook dinner and overhear my 14 year old son tell his online friends “that’s just my dad playing boomer music” *scoffs intellectually* Excuse me, but it's called "classic rock" for a reason

I mean, it IS boomer music... Calling it "boomer music" just rubs me the wrong way because it seems like it's coming from a place of dismissiveness. Like someone saying, "I don't want to listen to this because only people way older than me like it."

You mean like our generation did with most pre-rock music our parents and grandparents listened too... -M

Lawrence Welk was too old-fashioned for my parents. My mother's grandmother was a big fan; they used to joke about how she'd call out, "Lawrence Welk's on!" as if she expected them to come running. My parents were more into operetta.

Since he was gaming online I think it was more, maybe his friends asking what the loud music was, maybe they couldn't hear each other, and my son didn't know the song so he said what he did. I don't think he meant it that way, as this kid likes Queen, Bob Dylan and other "boomer" music himself.

We're having a wicked summer storm, but when it paused, I opened the back door to let the dog out to find the storm had caused the Bifrost to appear above our garage... it's very faint, but visible. -M

But Hogun also reminds me of Jack Palance, who played Attila in 1954's "Sign of the Pagan."
