so uh what type of music do you like to listen to
oh i listen to all kinds really um uh heavy metal and funk and
punk rock and all kinds of goofy stuff
uh-huh well here's
what do you listen to
well you know i uh i don't listen as much as i used to because uh
hm
because i used to drive to work and that's always good radio time but now i walk
um-hum
um-hum
oh do you
what well i walk and i take the bus
do you really
wow
so i don't get as much radio time and uh we have a small son and it seems like everytime i put on something i want to listen to he starts wanting one of his tapes
um-hum
um-hum
uh
you know
and uh you know i don't want to discourage him from listening to what he wants to listen to so i put it on and i figure i can listen in a couple years
um-hum
uh-huh
uh but i like i like listening to jazz although i'm kind of ignorant about it and uh i like listening to classical although i'm kind of ignorant about it
um-hum
yeah so
um-hum
and i sort been listening to sort of like sort of an old foggy station here that uh has a lot of rock from the uh
um-hum
you know sixties and seventies
uh-huh
and uh i i'm sort embarrassed to say i've been listening to that
uh but i'm very you know i you know i've gotten
it's i i it's funny how you get older and you don't know what's going on in popular music at all like who are some of the heavy metal
um-hum
people you like to listen to
um
let's see i don't know i listen to i i don't listen to that as much as i used to i uh but i used to like Megadeth a lot and Slayer
um-hum
uh-huh
and um
some of the some of the heavy metal bands are sort of making it into um
into the pop scene i guess Metallica and bands like Nirvana and stuff i don't know if you've heard
now some of these have been a long around for quite awhile haven't they
uh-huh oh Metallica's been around for ages
how many years do you think
um let's see their first album was out in
i'm not sure eighty two or eighty three
uh-huh
yeah
that's quite awhile
yeah that's it and Iron Maiden uh i was really into Iron Maiden when i was in middle school and stuff that was
uh-huh
they started up in the seventies
yeah i mean these guys it's so it's funny how pop stars get old
uh-huh
uh
but still manage to sort of sing about the same things
yeah
um
so do you play at all yourself
uh actually actually i play uh i play the flute i i was in uh band all through high school and i still pick it up uh i don't play with any organized group now but uh i play still play every now and then
uh-huh
uh-huh
what kind of pieces do you play
um
my favorite ones to play are uh stuff like Mozart i love Mozart and uh
uh-huh
um just general classical stuff Bach and Brahms
uh-huh how long have you been out of high school
i've been out of high school for two years now
uh-huh um yeah i used i used to play uh in the percussion section in the high school band and uh
oh really
yeah i enjoyed that but it's not something that you can do so easily by yourself
you know sit around with a snare drum and you get kind of bored um
um-hum
and i played piano in the jazz ensemble
oh that's neat
and that i still keep up with a little bit but
yeah
you know i'm still i'm doing what kind of sounds similar to what you'r e doing i i have pieces i could play in high school and i still play them
um-hum
um-hum
and i i i really like to move on to something else but uh i haven't been putting the time into it so sort of marking time at the same place
yeah
oh
um-hum
uh now when i was in high school though
we we knew about one funk band that we were excited about that's probably
who was that
you know ancient history by this time uh
uh
oh God course the name just uh the name just slipped my mind but it's the Peace of Parliament
hm
is that like
that's not doesn't even exist anymore does it
i'm not sure
Parliament and they had a thing the peace funk was their big thing
huh i don't know i've never heard of them
okay who do you listen to
oh um
in funk
i don't know if you would i don't know if most most anybody would call it funk but uh bands like Primus and Fishbone and things like that
okay
you know i've heard of them but i've never heard their music
really i really like um Primus a lot Primus is a good group
uh are the radio stations near you that play this sort of thing
no not really um
uh-huh
i i i think i think that Primus gets a little air time on like MTV and stuff but i don't think i i don't think i've ever heard one of their songs on the radio Fishbone either
uh-huh
so you have to get the albums uh-huh
right right yeah
um now what about punk does punk still exist
