My Intern Makes Me Feel Old: One In An Occasional Series

|


Nancy has Bonathan, I have Laken. She is going to be a junior at UT-Austin this year. One of the things I’ve asked her to do is to be on the lookout for blog items. She sent along her first suggestion today. It succeeded in making me want to bash my head against a wall. The e-mail follows:

Not sure if this is blog-worthy or not, but I know that Earth, Wind and Fire/Chicago are coming to Dallas and will be in concert tomorrow night at Nokia. Obviously, I wasn’t alive when these bands were big, but I do like their music because my parents have always played oldies in our house. My parents always say that they’d love to see some of their old favorites in concert, but because it’s not the original group, it loses appeal. So, the idea is, when groups go on concert tours without the original members, is it worth going/will it be as good? I don’t think so.

Oldies. Not alive. Good grief. I’m sorry, I forgot the question.
