Radiohead

I had just introduced my 10-year-old son Ben to a new song and asked him what he thought. He paused. He obviously did not want to hurt my feelings.

“I don’t know how to say this, but it sounds like a modern song.”

i.e. one that I would be too old to listen to.

Well said, my young son. Now, turn it up.

PS – The song was “Rocket Fuel” by DJ Shadow, who asks the musical question, “Can you rock it like rocket fuel?”
