I know that song is at least my age – it was the Billboard #1 the day I was born.
So .. if today’s kids know the same songs we know .. what will *their* kids be into?

Or, to put it another way, in 2025, is anyone going to be playing “99 Problems” for their granddaughters and talking about “the old days”?

I’m sure people once said the same thing about the Beatles, Elvis, and Benny Goodman.
I’m sure they did too .. but there’s a noticeable difference.
