My daughter and I have a funny relationship. She likes the music she likes, and I like the music I like. Sometimes she cringes when I turn the radio on. We’ll get three bars into some classic rock song and I’ll name the artist and the title before the vocals even start. Then she’ll plug her iPod into the stereo jack and play some new thing I’ve never heard before, and I’ll listen baffled. Fortunately we both just like music, and she helps both of us discover songs daily. It’s a funny kind of relationship, but it works. She may never think I’m cool, but at least I listen.
