It's so much fun to watch young people react to the music I took for granted. There's a YouTube channel, Andy and Alex and they're really fun. They're musicians themselves so they really appreciate the talent and their insights are bang on. Watching them react for the first time to a song I've heard for 50 years makes me appreciate it all over again.

Btw, I HATED that song, too, and still hate it to this day. Also "Having My Baby" by Paul Anka.
