Was the correct answer 'I've got a Porsche'?

Dear (DJ) Lord, what a bunch of old fogeys. They probably haven't got a clue about whatever the young people are listening to these days either. Vinyl's probably too 'new' for them.

Rock & metal fans do not generally have the age gap problem. Kids to granddads at most of the shows these days (OK, those days).

 

[FishFright]

Young people listening to grandad's music often looks that silly ... to grandads.

Haha! Have just watched the episode…I didn’t know it was Public Enemy. I didn’t get the other artistes either. I scored OK on the classical though

I was well in to that album when I was about their age! If they know stuff from eons ago when they're so young, why the block where poplear (sp) music's concerned?

I‘m a big music fan, but you can’t know it all. Public enemy passed me by. There are many other bands that are supposed to be popular that I’m not familiar with. I’m certain there are acts that I love that others are unaware of. Not knowing Public Enemy is not a crime - but maybe it should be ;-)

No, what I mean is contestants on Uno (you do call it 'Uno', don't you?), despite being about nine years old, seem to know absolutely everything about everything, most of which, like algebra, will serve no purpose at all in their future careers but modern music seems to be one area where they tend to have a blind spot. More of them, I say because that's one subject the playing field is levelled!

No, we call it Uni Challenge!
Yes, I think we're in agreement. The contestants are cut from very different cloth! But somebody needs algebra somewhere surely....

Paxman is definitely starting to slow down a bit. He’s 71 and has Parkinson’s so can’t carry on forever.

Sad to hear.
