Hola amigos, i know it’s been a while since i rapped at ya but I’ve been busier than a covid nurse in the deep south lately. If you like what you read, please consider subscribing. I love my subscribers and they get more content, as you’re about to see. If you’re just here to check it out, also cool. Let’s party.
Just signed up for a year and I can still only read the excerpt down the the "White Reaper" part. Oh well. Technology.
Anyhow, I think my kids and yours are close to the same age and my oldest emphatically likes "rock" whenever I ask him what he likes to listen to. I think that for him rock equates to the stuff that's opposite of whatever everyone else in middle school is listening to. He really digs Skeleton Coast though, as he should, though he hasn't warmed up to your earlier stuff quite yet because he's still freaked out about how many F-bombs there are (e.g., Metropole) and he's worried I'm going to play that with his friends in the car. Considering the vernacular used around the middle school I can't quite grok what the issue is, but OK.
You mentioned about kids that don't know what an album is, but I constantly see these kids online who collect vinyl. They certainly know. Is this just a rare phenomenon that I for some reason run into all the time? Are these just your typical nerds that just have a penchant for vinyl? If they were born into a different time would they be philatelists hording stamps? Anyway, it gives me hope that there's still a set of kids who like some semblance of an album instead of an endless stream of songs.

Hope I can read past the "White Reaper" part some time in the future. Rock on, Brendan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fypFo1JTc_E
