My parents' main pop-music gap is from after they became grownups until I got old enough to listen to it myself. Which makes a lot of sense to me, as I barely know what's going on in pop music anymore, and don't see that becoming any less over the next 40 years.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not asking them to snort coke with him backstage. Just to have heard of him, say, and maybe know he's not white.I get that. I think my mom even knows who Rick James was.
But...who is Eva Cassidy?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Actually, I think my mom had a Rick James album in the early eighties. Huh. Repressed memory.

My Dad, while not into funk, was surprisingly modern on his music selections. It's his fault that I can sing almost every song by the Eagles, Lynard Skynard and Steve Miller having grown up with it.
Note: I didn't say his taste was good.

Eva Cassidy is a jazz/blues singer from the US who has a lovely voice. She became moderately successful in the UK before dying unexpectedly a few years back.

My parents aren't really clueful on anything post-1975 that isn't folk, classic country (think Cash) or...well, like Alison Kraus (sp) and backwoods blues. They know their music well, but anything else?
Sometimes my father tries to hold forth on rap and hip hop and I about blow a gasket. And *I* don't know much rap or hip hop, but enough to know he is talking out of his ass. And has not listened to any of it in, oh, the past 15 years. But he's all about holding strong opinions on things he knows nothing about.
Fighting with snapfish now. Thinking I'll go back to ofoto, cause it ain't working....

Now tagless for your comfort.
Growing up, my parents had tapes of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynne singing "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly". IJS.

Bluegrass! That's what I was thinking of. They like bluegrass.

Cindy, I always feel compelled to disclaimer my dad because, well, it's just easier that way.
