Amy Speace
A baby boomer friend of mine, who
grew up HATING her parents music (like all of her friends), once told me how
utterly astonished she was when her very musical and now grown son grew up
loving The Grateful Dead as much as she did.
How one of her best memories is when they went to a Dead concert –
together.
Much has
been made of the differences between Millennials and Boomers. And as any boomer who is suddenly plunged
into the world of millennials - or vice versa - can attest, ‘it’s a different
world from where we come from.’ Or is
it?
I just
found ValsList.com, and concurrently discovered that Val Haller (who makes the
list) also writes a weekly column for the NYTimes called Music Match. In it,
she matches tracks from her generation to that of her 20-something son’s and
thus introduces both generations to more music to love. Boomers: want to feel old and yet young
again? Click here and play the Amy Speace
video. Then dig out that Judy Collins LP
you just couldn’t toss even though you’ve long since ditched ANYTHING that
plays records. Hold the cover, shut your
eyes, and travel through time.
Wabi-sabi.
Judy Collins
