Don't Trash the 'Nati

Saturday, June 03, 2006

I was walking to work yesterday and I overheard the funniest conversation while standing on a street corner waiting to cross. The players in this conversation are an older (60's) black man and a white male parking meter maid on a bicycle (slightly younger, in his late 40's).

Older Black Man- Kids these days, they just don't have any respect for us.
Meter Maid - Uh huh
OBM- They need to start respecting us adults because we've been around, we know what we're talking about.
MM- I absolutely agree
OBM- But, ya know, kids these days they only listen to the rapper, like Biggie Smalls, Flava Flav and 2 Live Crew. That's all they care about! Those rappers!
MM- Oh yeah!

I nearly died laughing. 2 Live CREW? Flava Flav?!?! You just know this man has been having the same conversation for the last 15 years. I doubt this man has even had a conversation with a teenager in the last 10 years. Unless, of course, he is speaking about Flava Flav's short lived comeback on VH1's Surreal Life (and I doubt it) Flava Flav hasn't influenced anybody to do anything in a very very long time.
