IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG


We yell now and then, when the music

from his room is too loud, too obnoxious,

too offensive- strong language and themes.


I ask him the question asked by all fathers

to their sons and daughters about the music-

Do you actually like listening to those songs?


I ask him what happened to the rock music.

Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Queen, Ac-Dc, U2.

We’d listen together as went on our road trips

.

He tells me, “That was your music, this is mine.

I listened to it because I was a follower then.”

Now he’s his own person, with his own choices.
