TRex with a laptop

so, i'm a teller at a bank and they allow us to play a radio in the lobby. this helps pass the time and since its 70-80 rock, you may find yourself humming along. in the middle of one of the songs, my manager commented on how he couldnt remember the name of the band. my coworker, standing near me, shook his head and stated that he had no idea who the band was. when asked and without looking up from my monitor i replied, "the Police".
the night prior, i watched the crew of american idol comment on how the nowyounger contestants didnt know Beatles songs they had to cover.

(sorry, that one was for me)
4: i have always had to adapt and evolve bc times and things were a-changing....so thinking and moving on the fly are second nature. when you've worked for folks who have to investigate instead of fix problems...this can make for frustrating environments.
we are the bridge from school to nu school. who's gonna get them to know about their artistic potential? or how the treasures of the "school" has influenced what they like and who they are.
these posts are dedicated to all the music that made me.
