The generation gap
I took my Mum to see my son at the school musical last night.
It’s a version of ‘Annie’.
At one point the music turns to a bit of a trad jazz number, which moved Mum to remark:
“Oooh! The Charleston! I bet these kids will never even know what The Charleston is.”
I thought for a minute and replied:
“Have you ever heard of Fifty Cent?”
Mum thought for a minute and said No.
Half a second later she exalted:
“And I don’t care. I don’t want to.”
Seems to me there’s an awful lot of parent/child generational media reaction/interaction on show right there!
