Some People....

[Miss Vicky]

Just feel like venting, but I'm sure a lot of younger Ledgies who like older (60's, 70's, and even 80's) music can relate.

It really irritates me when older people treat younger people like they don't know anything just because they're young. I'm not talking about life experiences - but simple factual things. They're older than you, so therefore they must be right.

I'm talking about things like what happened at my work yesterday. My friend, who is a major Fleetwood Mac fan, was at the register when the song "Magnet and Steel" came on our sound system. The customer starting singing along so my friend asked her if she was a Walter Egan fan. She said "Oh is that who this is?" and my friend answered "Yeah, with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks on backing vocals." And the stupid lady told my friend that she was wrong and that it was CHRISTINE singing, not Stevie! My friend explained that she is a FM fan and an Egan fan and that she'd seen FM twice on their last tour. And the lady still insisted she was wrong saying "Yeah well, I was around when this came out, you weren't so I'd say I'm right about this one." My friend told her she wasn't so the lady said "Well I'm going to check my albums when I get home, 'cause I know I'm right."

What's even worse though is back when Carnie Wilson had her stomach operation, some ladies at my then job were talking about it and one of them said "You know, Carnie Wilson, Dennis Wilson's daughter?" When I corrected her she insisted that Brian Wilson is the one that died and that Dennis was the father, and of course, that she had to be right because she was alive back then and I wasn't.

Anybody else have this problem?
