    Musical Blind Spots

    Filed Under humor, lil things, music, nostalgia, pop culture 

    After reading the comments at CK’s post on 8 Random Things, I felt a little isolated. College aged students who don’t know who Tori Amos or Nirvana are? A few days ago I asked the DH if he’d like to listen to Cyndi Lauper. His response: “Who’s that?” I repeated her name, thinking he must not have heard it right. He looked at me, waiting. “You know that song, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!” No, he did not. “Time After Time. True Colors?” I sang a few lines of I Drove All Night. Blank stare.

    Scary.

    However, Tori Amos happens to be one of his favorite singers; he’s seen her live two or three times.  I guess we all have our blind spots. I’m sure I’ve some, too, but unfortunately can’t tell you what they are.

      Mine tend to be contemporary country or heavy metal, but naming bands is a favorite game that my DH and I play. I am pretty good… he is even better and because we have a teenager in the house we try to stay a little with what is new. She does know who Cyndi Lauper and Nirvana is,but I don’t think Tori Amos is someone she knows…. ahhh the next generation!

      Tons of blind spots from my evangelical adolescence. At our senior year talent show, someone had to tell me who Nirvana was as some guys played Teen Spirit. Eek.
