At dinner tonight, Caroline wanted us to hear a song she likes (she likes the beat, she says). Turns out it was a song called “No Promises” by a band called Cheat Codes.
She’s right, it does have a very good beat to the song. But I couldn’t get past one line in the song:
“Promise me no promises”
Wha?!?!
How can you promise no promises? The very act of promising no promises breaks the promise that you just got done promising you wouldn’t promise. Hence, you can never make that promise without breaking said promise, and the world ends up folding in upon itself. Now if you kept up with that, maybe you can explain it to me!
And, oh by the way, it fascinates me that she listens to music through Pandora (for random “shuffle”), and YouTube (of all things) for finding a specific song. No iTunes, no Amazon Music. No taking advantage of our extremely large existing iTunes library.
Purchasing music may, in fact, be leaving us. This fact just proves to me that the “latest trend” is passing me by.
And with that, my transformation to my dad is complete.
