I do not know-- I'm scared.
I think I'm pretty familiar. I got an open mind.
I got two kids out there, so they and keep me posted.

I don't know who Sia is.
Did she sing "Hang It From a Chandelier"?
It's about a white girl.
She's in a cage with an older man.
At first, I thought it was inappropriate.
At the end of the video,
I thought it's like her dad and they're helping each other.

It's got kind of a Kanye West sound to it.
I know this song.
It's Big Sean, Drake, "Blessed."
(Finebros) So the song is called "Blessings,"
and it's by Big Sean but features Drake and Kanye West.
Drake I've heard of.
Now that you say it, I can hear the different voices.
I can't stand Kanye West,
because he's just the biggest egomaniac.
He's sort of special in his own little ways.
I like the sound and I like the beats.
But the language just bothers me.
At my house, it's okay to listen, just not to speak it.
As long as they don't say it to me,
they can sing it all they want.

"Uptown Funk" isn't Bruno Mars?
Interesting. Well, Mark Ronson is a genius.

♪ (funky interlude) ♪
(Finebros) So what's better-- music today or music from your day?
I'm just gonna go for my day.
The music now don't make no sense,
and they're not talking about anything.
It depends on the artist.
Like Foo Fighters-- they've been around forever.
Just saw a show. It was fantastic.
I don't think any music is better than any other music.
My kids, when they start to hit the 10s and 11s
and they get their little teenybopper phase,
I'm just showered with music and YouTube, and it's fantastic.
The music from now that I listen to with my daughters--
people tell me it's not cool, it's not good for my age.
It makes me feel close to my daughters, young.
So to me it's still cool.
