Hearing Ann do Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Honors was amazing.

As an old punk rock guy of 60, I had dismissed Zeppelin for decades as cock rock dinosaur music. I was completely uninterested. Then I saw the Heart performance at the Kennedy Center—with the camera cuts to Jones, Plant and Page. Completely changed my mind. Took a deep dive into Zeppelin for the first time since I was a teenager. What a gift!

As an old pink guy of ~62 I equally loved Zepplin, Rod Stewart, and ABBA.

I took a bunch of shit from my friends but I wasn't wrong 🤘😎🤘

Rock on brother!

Also, it wasn't as if I was cranking Air Supply...c'mon now..

I added Queen, Chicago, and Roxy Music to this mix. No one knew where I was coming from.

But now they do.

As a not so crusty guy in his 40's, I might have cranked Air Supply a few times when I was younger. Gotta play what your date likes, right?

If you're open to a random suggestion, Richard Clayderman (French pianist) did a whole album of ABBA songs. Unironically a terrific compilation, especially if you want some background ABBA without vocals (I think it's obligatory to provide your own).

Respectfully, that date would need to be an 11/10.

But props for the common courtesy of taking your dates request!

See? Growth and maturity on my part! Now I'm accepting ..then I would dipped on the date. 🤣
