How do you think we feel, listening to you rambling on about them?
Ok ok, I’ll try to quit doing that. At least for awhile.

2004 is about right. So 17-18. But yes. That will make you feel old.

It’s been as many years since the release of Gung Ho as it was between the release of the movie and the end of the post-war American occupation of Japan.

One of Keaton's best acting jobs (and he's a great actor so that's no small compliment). I just re-watched and for a mid-80s movie it's surprisingly respectful towards Japanese culture. No cheap laughs or gags and they're not the bad guys in the movie (in fact, watching in 2020 especially in context of the pandemic you end up being a lot more sympathetic towards the Japanese characters than the Americans for the most part).

Curiosity and Amazon’s algorithms got the better of me last night and I decided to watch Jay and Silent Bob Reboot after Swamp movie night and it wasn’t great but holy shit do Smith and Mewes and just about every cameo (except for the ageless Rosario Dawson) deserve a reference in this thread. Depressing.

Yeah I counted Michael Stipe and Gorillaz. But even if I then take those ones where I've heard of the entire act (Megan Thee Stallion, The Chicks, HAIM, and BTS), that leaves only The Chicks that I would actually be able to name a song from. And they changed their name, so really it's like 0.

On Sunday we were at a small family gathering celebrating our niece's HS graduation, and at some point she mentioned liking a rapper called Juice WRLD (I just looked up how to spell that) and her boyfriend lit up and talked about how much he likes him, too. Before I could even say I had never heard of the guy they said he was dead, from a drug overdose, possibly because he tried consuming his stash when LEO boarded his plane.

RIP Juice WRLD I hardly even knew you

Being the modern, happening, virile youngster that I am, I was familiar with him and his music. Because last summer my daughter played him constantly. She did get a bit irritated when I usually referred to him as "Juice Box".

My daughter was obsessed with one of his songs when he died. Has to be one of the dumbest rapper names ever.

The Chicks are the Dixie Chicks, so I also know 6 artists, 0 songs. Maybe if I listen I'll recognize. My daughter asks me put on Hits 1 on Sirius, and I'll allow it for as long as I can stand it, which is about 5 songs when you hit the end of their loop and it starts over. That has me clued in to the pop-iest of pop music. It all sounds the same, and could be from any year in the last 20 years.

Yeah, my daughter used to be my connection to pop music. But she got her license last year, so I don't spend nearly as much time in the car with her. Plus, she's hit that age where she's somewhat of a hipster herself, so she doesn't want to listen to "pop".

So once again, I am completely disconnected from the current music scene.

The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" is my favorite current song I have been subjected to by my kids because it feels like new wave.

Never been big Bob Seger fan, but always liked the song "Night Moves."

Listened to it this morning and the damned thing choked me up.
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started hummin' a song from 1982
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in
Old...
