Most people tend to like the music that is popular when they are in grade school through college, and maybe about 10 or 15 years after. As such, I don"t like much that came out after 1980. My car radio has been tuned to the local oldies station for many years. It annoyed me when that station changed their format from 50"s, 60"s and 70"s, to 60"s 70"s and 80"s, but the station manager explained to me that they hoped to gain listeners with the somewhat later music.
One of my best friends was 16 years older than I. We rode back and forth to work together for many years. He liked a station that played songs from the 40"s and 50"s. Jack was surprised that I not only enjoyed that station, but often would sing along and would know who was singing. Apparently I was paying quite a bit of attention when the radio was on when I was a little kid!
Lots of today"s kids like rap. I don"t, because I have a tough time picking out almost any of the words, and at least with some of what is being said, maybe that is good, because what they are saying would make me angry. I do not consider rap to be music, but rather something less, since usually there is a beat, but no melody line. It seems like NOISE to me, especially when it is being played so extremely loud. It especially annoys me to FEEL the beat inside my closed car from another car"s sound system going by.
But kids will be kids...and they will do what they will do. And it is probably their right to make their own decisions about what they want to listen to. On their turf. Rap is not allowed in my house, period.
But I doubt that my opinions about music will change much. If I ever have to stay in a nursing home, and if ANYTHING still really matters to me, I would imagine that I would lobby strongly to have the music preferred by the paying customers, rather than then employees. Will I ever like rap? No way!

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
