Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing

history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.

At some point in your life, you said, no way, man, I'm never going to become like my parents.

Yes, you did. Don't lie. We all did. We vow that we'd never become old and stodgy and boring and stuck in our ways, and we would

never be closed to new ideas.

And your parents probably reacted to your pronouncements in a manner similar to something

like this.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.

Now what I'm with isn't it? And what's it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you. Do not panic. This is totally natural. This cycle of life has been going on since the invention of music, and it only accelerated with the birth of the recording industry

in the late 1800s.

Every generation has its thing, and every generation thinks that the people who came before

them and comes after them are weird and wrong.

No way, man, we're gonna keep on, forever, forever, forever, forever.

What's wrong, homie?

I went to the record store today and they were playing all this music I never heard of.

It was like the store had gone crazy.

Oh, record stores have always seemed crazy to me, but it doesn't upset me.

Music is none of my business.

That's fine for you, Marge.

But I used to rock and roll all night and party every day.

Then it was every other day.

Now I'm lucky if I could find half an hour a week in which to get funky.
