Ready to feel old? I told a 28 yr old last night he looks like a young Phil Collins. He asked me...Who's Phil Collins? I then turned to the 26 year old bartender and said "He doesn't know who Phil Collins is." She said...Phil Who? We are in a society where no one looks back. People want an Iphone7 on the day Iphone6 is released. This is why so many young people think Hitler is still alive today. If we don't look back and appreciate our history, we are bound to repeat it. Before you know it whites and blacks will be killing each other again... ...oh....wait

Before you know it whites and blacks will be killing each other again... ...oh....wait Crimany sakes! My best friend, the last time we hung out together, was on a rant about how dumb folks are getting. Especially young people. He went on about how "if they can't google it, then it's either false or not important". I coaxed him to calm down and tried give a hopeful spin on the sentiment. A bit of time went by. My car broke down so I started walking to work. People drive dumb. Too fast on their own street, they tailgate their own neighbors, they litter in their own neighborhood. While driving, one out of a hundred will give quarter to me, the pedestrian. Most, rev-up, gear-up and blow on by without even a tad of going wide. I'm not exclusive either. My neighbor with their toddlers and one in stroller, experience the grand-prix racing techniques of dumb-ass drivers without a speck of courtesy. I'm talking, small country lane(s) without sidewalks too. Kids, a group of five of them, talk on their cell phone in the street during broad daylight doing dope deals without having the were-with-all to even have one person as a look-out, nor to step behind a fence. I agree with my bud now. Folks, especially children are more dumb than they've ever been. It's like they're no longer standing on the shoulders of accomplished, competent and courteous folks. It's gone too many generations apparently. The dummies are standing on the shoulders of clueless numbskulls.

Lots of the kids I have coached seem to know more about calssic rock (Late 60's 70's) than that era. Look at shows like The Voice. You get a a classic blues or rock song almost every episode, but you never get anything from that mid-80's timeframe. Guys like Bruno Mars are borrowing from the motown era liberally.

As for music, it seems young folks have completely lost the art of high fidelity recording and sound capture. I don't think the majority of folks these days even know what it is. Comments on youtube indicate this endlessly. The new medium is teeny lil' ear-buds and itsy-bitsy speakers on their iPads and other devices. The young think they sound good and post substandard tunes that invariably sound like your head is in a vat of vibrating jelly-beans with tinny melody coming thru in the distance. It's like they're unaware of the sonic spectrum and don't give a flip about quality.

I get asked all the time why I don't have my music on the computer or a Ipod. Because they sound like shit is my reply. They just look at me as if they don't understand. I'll take my good old Pioneer brand system over any thing their listening to any day.
