Tonight's moan before bedtime. "How many 67 year olds like K-Pop Demon Hunters, Dove Cameron, Taylor Swift and E-JAE?" I'm not even sure who the last one is but #SpotifyUnwrapped says they are a thing.

Yeah! I don't think I've thought about the Outhere Bros for 30 years! And I associate those songs with her singing them at registration. We had very different tastes. Still '95 is a great year!
