Even at that age, I knew who Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong were so I agree that we're doomed. It hasn't been THAT long.

Being that old and not knowing who someone like McCartney is is a sympton of a larger problem, that being the ignorance of our children, especially galling in the Information Age, where it's possible to know almost anything at the touch of a button. The internet was supposed to make us smarter, apparently it's having the opposite effect.

Yep ... I'm a keyboardist, and broke in many many years ago on Hammond B3's and Moog steamer trunks. So this stuff is just more of the same to me. :)

About 15 (maybe 20) or so years ago I was at the mall with my wife and we passed by a CD music store. There was a Beatles disc in the discount rack and three 'tweens were looking though the selection. One of the girls picks up the disc and asks, "who are they?" Their "leader," who I'm sure considered herself very worldly, announces in a superior tone: "The Beatles? You know, that's Paul McCartney's old group."

I turned to my wife and said, "I weep for the future of our nation...."

This isn't a new thing. Back in 1987 my wife and I stayed at a good hotel in Seattle. When we were going up in the elevator one bellhop told another that he had to take something up to a room for "Mr. Abbie Hoffman." I thought he was making a joke, like there was some long-haired hippie looking guy staying there. I asked him "the guy looks like Abbie Hoffman, huh?". He said, "that's his name. Is he somebody famous?"

I tried to mention other radicals, but neither kid knew them either. My wife said "he was one of the Chicago Seven." THAT the kid knew, or pretended to.

I remember back in the day (maybe 25-30 years ago), the joke was that the kids then didn't know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings. Nowadays, the dumbasses won't even know about Wings! (or that Paul had #1 duets w/ Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder).

My brother once almost strangled Abbie Hoffman to death at The Citadel in SC. This was in the 80's.

They had to separate him from him or Hoffman could have dies that day after he said something rude.

True story.
