LOL about the Cure.

I have a story in a similar vein with my son (who is in his 30's now). A few months ago I stumbled on a live version of 'A Forest' on you tube. It has a certain edginess to it because Smith, et al, have been informed they must cut their set short for Robert Palmer. At the end, Smith yells," Fuck Robert Palmer, Fuck Rock and Roll!". I showed this clip to my kid as evidence of the attitudes of my misspent youth.

The first thing out of his mouth was, "Who's Robert Palmer?"

LOL!

My youngest son got all excited when he discovered Bon Jovi in 2014. And he assumed I'd never heard of Bon Jovi. Let me tell you about your parents in the 1980s, son. 😂

My 18yo son asked me recently (he was delighted) if I had ever heard of Stevie Wonder. Ha!
