I'm amused by all the folks in "my generation" (and even a bit younger) complaining about #GRAMMYs last night, specifically about the "lewd" dancing, revealing costumes, and dirty songs. When is it that we became our parents and grandparents? 1/

This seems to be a fairly universal phenomenon, dating back to my parents' and grandparents' generation and before. We all know that middle-aged and older people were complaining about kids and that nasty, dirty jazz in the 1920s. 4/

People also have selective memory. They forget all the utter dreck that was released when they were young and remember the great music. Trust me, there was a lot of execrable, crappy music released during my teen and young adult years in the 1970s-80s. It just didn't survive. 5/

In any event, I find it quite tiresome to hear someone in my age range bemoan the "fact" that there's "no good music anymore" and assert that the music of their youth was far superior to today's music. They never consider the more likely possibility that they just got old. 6/6
