Overheard in my daughter's kindergarden classroom:
Volunteer parent to 6 year old kindergardener: "So, Lucas, what are you into these days?"
Lucas, cute little blonde kid with glasses: "I am really into music."
Volunteer parent: "Really? What do you like?"
Lucas: "Oh you know, Green Day, Blink 182..."
Postscript: my point may have been missed as I left things vague. I was trying to indicate that I find it amusing that many so-called "alternative rock" bands these days have somehow morphed into (via marketing, overexposure) bubblegum-pop (i.e. - for the kiddies) dressed up in torn clothes and wacky hairdos.
My own 6-year old has, on her favorite CD mix: Pink, The Ramones, Outkast, and Johnathan Richman. She also used to dig Nelly but I had a hard time finding the "Radio Disney" edits of his singles for her!

Very good post. I got your point the first time. I agree with all the crazy "original" music these days, it's a wonder everybody's brain isn't mush.
Oh, and Chrys, I like Kelly Clarkson, too! Nothing wrong with Kelly. She's a nice, Texas girl, too. (Just like me!!! ;P) |

Good post. Bubblegum pop is manufactured music, never artistic, rarely creative.
My Sweetie loves this Kelly Clarkston (sp?) so much that it grates on me. What kind of preparation is that for a classical music major?? |

*jaw drops* what? do Lucas' parents know he listens to this? Shocking and sad all at the same time. |
