love it how...

I can hardly ever have a decent normal conversation with a older bears re: pop or modern music.

I apparently am a bitch* and ageist and don't know what I'm talking about. *Sigh*.

Back to my two much older partners who listen to Handel, Wagner and suchlike, or aren't really into music. So much safer...cos I know little about those. Apart from Bach and Wagner who I mostly hatehatehate. Well only bits of them.

I do hold strong views re: music having written, podcasted, listened, watched, DJ'd etc for years...but strange how it just reverts to age. I thought that had passed years ago. Happy to argue the toss, but strange how people immediately get defensive and offensive.

But me? Ageist? Really?


*irony of a supposedly butch looking man in redneck bubba drag living in NYC choosing to call me a bitch, well...choice of that word confirms that in this case I see Tarzan and most definitely hear Jane.

Why did he call you a bitch?
Over music?

Any man who calls another man a bitch is saying far more about himself than anyone else.

Funnily enough, I was called an 'old man' by some overweight nancy with a beardette, bad attitude and girly manner on Saturday. I smugly adapted something I had used in Brighton and told him he would only ever be one of those things.

I'm wondering what you mean by "modern" music? When I hear that, I think Schoenberg or Stravinsky.

So I'm guessing that show tunes are right out.....
