OK, so I'm down in the community garage playing a little gee-tar with a mate and the youngsters in our apartment complex begin coming around. So while it's pleasing to see an electric guitar is still able to get them away from their Playstations, the ensuing singer auditions didn't go quite as well:

Me: OK, I kin play just about any Bowie song.
Them: (Blank stare.)

Me: OK, the Stones. Simple three chord shit, easy and fun!
Them: (Blank stare.)

My fault. Gotta think about newer bands. Fine and dandy!

Me: Blur. Fucking Blur! Who wants to sing Coffee & TV. Gonna be great!!
Them: (Blank stare.)

Then it was:

Them: How about Avenge7(something)??
Me: (Blank stare.)

Multiple Choice:
I should bridge the musical gap by:

a) Learn AFI songs.
b) Go back to my own apartment where I belong.
c) Find a middleground. I know a couple Nirvana songs.
d) None of the above.

Ans:
a) Oh, hell no! b) 1/2 credit if you answered b. Who wants to babysit a bunch of hyper-active teenagers? c)Have you heard someone other than Kurt sing Come As You Are? I did last night and it wasn't pretty! d) CORRECT. "This song is called Godless, it's by the Dandy Warhols and this is the song we're gonna learn you lazy irresponsible drug addicts in training!"

The conversation thread got me to share this little snipet with ya's. I'm pretty sure I did the right thing here, but perhaps there's is a middleground, I dunno... Anyway, this is my little love letter to you kids, who more often than not know what's what when it comes to music. Thank the gods!!
