Today at my day job, someone walked up to me with a record in their hands and asked if it was a poster or some kind of wall hanging. He said that his girlfriend really loved the Beatles and he thought that it looked like a "cool collector's item".
I stood there sort of dumbstruck for a moment, but then I remembered that I was old and that 90% of the music I enjoy was probably written before 1994.
He seemed a little confused and unfortunately, I probably wasn't much help. I can be a sort of music snob, sometimes.
I picked Paul Baribeau for Vinyl Monday today, because he's sort of the opposite of that. Even though he's gotten a little acclaim here and there, he plays small shows and is really personally accessible. He doesn't act like a star or turn his nose up at boy's buying their girlfriends Beatle's records for Valentines Day.
I should probably try to be more like that.
Instead, I try to be like A-list bloggers and jump when the shutter goes off.
We all have our idols.
Who's been inspiring YOU lately?
