      @Jess Hanks But is that her fault? I think it's up to to the aunts and uncles of the world to expose the kids to this stuff. They can't expose themselves--they don't even know what they're looking for! And parents are too busy parenting (although the onus IS on us, also). Aunts and uncles, I call on you

      @Jess Hanks That's so cool that you have niblings and about your aunt influencing you! I feel like I've exposed my kids to a LOT of great music and other media, but some things have fallen through the cracks, and my brother and sister have helped. 8 is a great age to enrich their minds because when they're teens they might be less open to your influence, but you'll have already shaped their taste toward quality. At some point they might start exposing YOU to good music THEY find!
      If I were an aunt I think I'd buy my niblings a CD player when they're young and everytime they have a birthday or Christmas get them a new album and maybe a t-shirt or something. Help prevent them from becoming those kids who wear band t-shirts they know nothing about. (I know CDs are old school but I think it'd be fun.)
      I've really been thinking about what you said about kids needing to expose themselves to art, music, etc. I'm just starting to send my kids out into the world and instead of feeling guilty about the things I DIDN'T share with them, I'm going to teach them that it is ON THEM and on all of us, like you said. So thanks for that! :-)

    I was leading a roadie bike tour to a group and was referencing some iconic Hollywood landmarks. Going through Century City I pointed at a building and said that's the "Die Hard" building. The youngest of the riders, early 20s, said... who died there? I didn't bother explaining and I felt old.
