Humor, and music are on respirators, and about to permanently go “tits up”.

Today’s music is bubble gum pablum, or “I shot a n—— in tha head rap, and today’s comics are crass crude and unfunny.

Led Zeppelin, or Earth Wind, and Fire, and Richard Pryor, or Robin Williams would flop with today’s young adults.

Maybe it means I’m old and don’t understand, but I don’t think so.

My Grandsons like AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Eagles, and other music I listened to much better than today’s stuff.
When I show them movies like Blazing Saddles, or the Original Pink Panther movies they giggle about them for days like we used to.

If you shop at a market such as Trader Joe's where the background music consists of hit songs, the music is almost always from 40 to 70 years ago. They will almost never play Justin Bieber, Snoop Doggie Dog, or other hits of today.

Every time I have visitors from other countries I try to arrange a time we can watch “Blazing Saddles,” “Team America,” and “Undercover Brother.”

I loaned Blazing Saddles to a Malaysian friend and he loved it so much he kept it. He’d never seen anything like that since he moved to America
