I have Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters" album cover as my iPhone wallpaper. When I used my phone to pay for groceries recently, the young cashier exclaimed "Cool! Herbie Hancock." When I asked if he knew the album, he replied his GRANDMOTHER used to listen to it. Womp womp.

These posts from Senators always feel like a policeman is pulling me aside and telling me a crime is being committed. WTF? I don't have a badge - YOU DO!
