Am I old or is it a generational thing?
Last weekend my daughter was on a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. She commented that the trip would go better because Calvin Harris was also on the plane. I thought, how nice...one of her friends is on her plane. Someone to help kill four hours.
I had no idea who Calvin Harris is...obviously.
In case you don't know either, he's a DJ, songwriter, producer and the current/future ex and subject of a song or two boyfriend of Taylor Swift. If you don't know Taylor, well I can't help you.
Google also told me that he's won a ton of awards and has made muchos dineros. Actually more than the aforementioned Ms. Swift, so yeah, he's pretty big and is pretty rich.
Hey, I'm not the only one unfamiliar with Mr. Harris. When I brought up this story on Facebook, there were others who didn't have a clue about him...plenty of others.
Phew....at least I'm not alone.
Hmmmm....maybe I should download some of his tunes on my I-Pod? Oh yeah....I forgot that I don't know how to do that either. Yep...my I-pod is a Generation 1 thing and it still has the original music that the same daughter who is buds with Calvin, downloaded..errr...uploaded? eight years ago.
But it's not just music where I'm lost. Don't get me started on tv. Here's a list of shows I've never seen: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Affair, Transparent, Kimmy Schmidt...do I need to go on? However I can quote lines from Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, Superman and most of the Law & Order franchise.
Then there's technology. I was at a family Christmas Eve dinner two weeks ago. Everyone there had an I-Phone, except for one person...MOI!. Now it's not like I have a flip phone, it's just that I've never had an I-phone. NEVER! You would think that a guy who worked in that business for ten years would have the latest technology at least one time. Yeah, me too...but we'd all be wrong.
After being told I really should get one, I did look into buying one this week. I found one on Craigslist for a really good price. It was an I-phone 4. Is that the current model?
Btw...who is this Siri chick?
Here's a look at last weekends music piece about the musicians that died in 2015.
