True. My daughter, 13, was in the car the other day with a male friend the
same age. They couldn't agree on whether to listen to a bubble-gum station
or a rap station. Getting sick of the argument, I slapped in my CD of La
Boheme (Callas/EMI). They were transfixed. On the way home, they
specifically asked to hear the CD, not the radio. You'd have to know the
mentalities of the two kids to appreciate this. I was in shock.
