[This post actually comes a bit in the late morning/early noon Thursday.]

I don't got a mouthful of words like some other guys so I'll keep this short and sweet.

Where I'm from this is only a year old but I bet it's gonna be a classic.

[The sound of someone turning the stereo on because that someone doesn't really understand digital embedding. Look at least that's not an LP he's playing okay? Anyway this starts playing at full blast.

Somewhere in the middle of the song there may or may not be another guy yelling at him to turn it down (which he doesn't do, at all). And when the song's over...]

I gotta take out the garbage.

Right, I was four.

And I thought the 60s kid had it hard.

You can't use me as an example. It was considered an affront on music in my family.

And what wasn't?

Debussy, Beethoven, Scriabin, Sinatra, The Eagles, Enya. Ever heard of the kithara?

The Eagles never done wrong by me. The hell's a kithara?

My mom was a big fan.

Nevermind, it's nothing you'd enjoy. Nothing I'd ever enjoyed.

So what is it?

Think of it like a Roman's Gibson.

...And you don't enjoy that?

Did you ever look back at your parent's generation and wonder why so much of their music was shit?

Nope. My parents grew up with Elvis, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry.

If you have a thing for the lyre, then I recommend it.

I never could get into Holly. He was always too chipper.

So what do your parents have to do with the fuckin' lyre?

I was answering your question.

They made you learn to play it out of love for antiquity?

You think I'd waste my time like that? My father played it.

Did he play Jefferson Airplane on it?

[ OKAY, THAT MADE HIM ACTUALLY LAUGH. ]

Too busy trying to learn Santana.

S'not a bad choice, Santana.

It'd be interesting to see if it's feasible. Considering he's played the same songs over two millenniums, I doubt he's open to experimentation.

....Did you say two millenniums?

That's right.

Your dad's 2,000 years old?

2092.

How many times do I have to repeat it?
