1
00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm reading my AARP magazine while in the bathroom. Yes, AARP,

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I get the magazine. I'm a member. I get the magazine.

3
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I Shirley do. And because I'm fifty plus, like this

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>show is fifty plus, so I'm mine. They have some

5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>way articles in there sometimes too, But I'm reading it

6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're talking about there's an article on the latest

7
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>issue with Samuel L. Jackson on the cover of Samuel

8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Ella is my Favorites talking about punk music, and I

9
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>was just more shocked so much. I was like, wait

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>a minute, they howdy ever taught music in ARP. I

11
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>mean us, people who over fifty, we like music still.

12
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>We like going to music shows and stuff, you know

13
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.759
<v Speaker 1>from a lot of black folks, the Death of Frankie,

14
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Beverly and Maids and the Big Deal.

15
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 2>People are going to.

16
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>There are many people in there fifty plus going to

17
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 1>the Usher show.

18
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Many went to Beyonce.

19
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Like, we like music, we go to concert you always

20
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have money, we go to concerts. But they only talk

21
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 1>about that so much, and so I'm just like, that's

22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>really interesting. And then I was like, oh, how in

23
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Tarasante's they're talking about punk music and how there's no

24
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 1>official start dates. They're staying around seventy three is where

25
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>they started to have some happening and see me GM's

26
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>in New York and I was just reading about that.

27
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yeah, I remember punk music. But that's

28
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the kind of thing. It's like my generation, the fifty

29
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>plus became mine, or one after one before me. It's

30
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>so funny because we were the last generation.

31
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>To really see see new.

32
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Forms of music happen, like really new forms of music.

33
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, there's you know, there was jazz

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and then maybe later you saw Latin jazz and this

35
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>jazz and that jazz. That's that's just alliterations of you know,

36
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>are you a form?

37
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>But we saw the birth of punk and new wave

38
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 2>and rap. I go.

39
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Rap is arguably the last completely new art form of

40
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>the last fifty years.

41
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>When you think about it, just think about it.

42
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The spoken word said to music and has evolved in

43
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 1>a thousand.

44
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Different ways, right, and it was very different.

45
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all music comes from, so all the type obviously

46
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>it's all derivative of something. But we you know, well

47
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the last you know, one hundred years, jazz was invented,

48
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>R and B was invented, and rock and roll was invented, Like,

49
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 1>these are all things that were Really these are all

50
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>new art forms.

51
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 2>How are you gonna say pop music?

52
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, popps is like popular music, but the form

53
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 1>of that dance music that was invented. These are all

54
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>things disco. These are all things that were. There was

55
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 1>no previous anything, it was they came out, It came out,

56
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and for me, I'm lucky. I got I got to

57
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>know some of these are FROs from the very beginning,

58
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and just what do you think about that? And that's

59
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>all I just just kind of breezed my head. You know,

60
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 1>what kind of music do I like? What music stimulates me?

61
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>What music I like? Growing up? My taste has changed

62
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 1>here and there. I remember in the late eighties when

63
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 1>New Age came out and that's new agent was like

64
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a cross between instrumental, jazz, pop inspirational, but it wasn't

65
00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>format and artists like acoustic. Galcami was my favorite. Katara.

66
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I loved them. They're They're great. They're part of my

67
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>repertoire on my on the radio and CDs, ant tapes.

68
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Stop eating something right now. I'm sorry, I just said

69
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>eat something real quick. That was really something that you know,

70
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 1>you that I put on that was there was a

71
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>big hit. People were trying to in word, they're trying

72
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to try to it was a lifestyle thing too.

73
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I remember that I was. I was in that for

74
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 2>a while. You know.

75
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Rap music of course from its earliest beginnings in late

76
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>seventies that I remember of that's when I came into it.

77
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>The eighties was run DMC and all them.

78
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>You into the gangster of the gangster rapp of the nineties,

79
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>rock wrapper the two thousands. Get to watch it all

80
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>just kind of to where I'm doing kind of rap music.

81
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I put out my news, I'm putting out my new

82
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 1>song delete, and it's kind of a rap. It's it's

83
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to a beat. I always say, I'm.

84
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Not a rapper. You've spoken word artists. But it's a

85
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>fine line. Right.

86
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 1>But I wonder why we don't in magazines and prints

87
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and stuff talk more about music still our age. I mean,

88
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>music is viewed as a young man's game, young person's game, right,

89
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But there are many of us who are still We

90
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>like music. We like to go out, let's go to concerts.

91
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times we have more disposal income. You

92
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>can spend the money these concerts are expensive kids. Now

93
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>I do pick and choose what concerts I go to.

94
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big fan of musicals. I've been doing those

95
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>two a lot recently. The music is a part of

96
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>our lives and and and just as we get older

97
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that we just stopped listening to Prince all

98
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, or I stopped listening to Look Kim,

99
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 1>that was our girl back in the day. Or maybe

100
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>it's in a situation, but you maybe when a song

101
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 1>comes on you get down to it, still, tromp the radio,

102
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>get down to it, or turn up the Spotify or

103
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever you're listening to, and it comes on you still

104
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 1>like Mariah carey'sy, like Madonna, like you still just you

105
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>still do Jody Waally people you still like.

106
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I noticed that for me.

107
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Though as I've gotten older, I don't I don't know

108
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the charts anymore. I'm that I know that, I know

109
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that music has we made today is not made for me.

110
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>It is not for me. But because of TikTok and stuff,

111
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I hear certain songs like oh, who's that already?

112
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>All like that song?

113
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Or who's that Ice Spice? I like this song like

114
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 1>I would never know who they are I would never

115
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 1>even buy your stuff, but I'll hear a song and

116
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.319
<v Speaker 1>my kids and grandkids.

117
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I like that song Let's do a lipa? Well? Do

118
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I know her? Like you? I kind of know certain people, right.

119
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I just say, it's just it's just it's sad sometimes,

120
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Like there was a there was a point a couple

121
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, I was like, I used to the Billboard

122
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>charge and I knew nobody, and I said, Okay, I'm done.

123
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm like James is done.

124
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know nobody at top them, no one, but

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he said, know who Tenner Swift is. I'm chanting to
