As it happens, we have The Best of Roxy Music on the stereo right 
now.  We only have terrestrial telly in our house, which means we get 
a whopping 5 channels.  Thing is, we simply can't fit digital or 
satellite into the budget right now.  But wow, I'd give anything to 
have Vh1-Classic if those are the videos they play.  Ah, memories of 
teenagehood in Toronto, when Dad refused to get Pay-TV and I could 
listen to MuchMusic, but couldn't see it.  Not much good with videos, 
eh?

Anyway I helped out at my daughter's school disco a few weeks ago 
(Key Stage 1 group), and barely recognized any of the music played.  
The exception was when the DJ played "YMCA" and told all the adults 
(parents and teachers) to do the letter movements, which we did, sad 
buggers that we are.  Beth's still into "Wheels on the Bus" for now, 
but I dread to think what she'll be listening to once she is well and 
truly influenced by her peer group.

Mind you, I inflicted Duran Duran and the like on my folks.  What 
goes around comes around, eh?

Cheers!
