Yesterday I was in my car with my nephew (16 years old). I played a CD of one of my favorite bands ("Innuendo" by Queen). M. listened to the music for a while and then said: "Oh, that's really old stuff?" I answered "No, it isn't old stuff, it's Queen". "Ummh", he said, "it sounds really old. Are they still alive?" - "Yes and no, Freddy Mercury died in 1991. The other band members are still alive" - "Because he was too old?" - "No, he died of AIDS, a serious disease" - "I didn't know. I think I heard of a Musical related to that Freddy Mercury. But I don't like musicals". Can we listen to another music?"
I turned the radio on...
I guess I'm really old. My nephew doesn't know the bands of my youth....
Perhaps because he only ever listens to "Top100" on Spotify?
I'm a bit shocked...
