Generational Differences

Listening to "Two Tribes," I realized that Reagan's memory isn't the only eighties phenomenon benefiting from the glow of nostalgia.

But, perhaps it also highlights some generational discrepancies between what was popular when I was a teenager, compared to today's music.

Can you imagine lyrics like these in a current top forty hit:

Reagan-sounding voice, quoting Hitler:

..You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the goddess of
the eternal court of history will smile and tear to tatters the brief of
the state prosecutor and the sentence of this court -- for she aquits us.

Condemn me (x3)

History will absolve
Singing "this will be the day that I die".

British voice:

(If any member the family should die whilst in the shelter, put them
outside, but remember to tag them first for identification purposes.)
