The Times, they do be a changin'

I have some pretty random songs on my ipod. You can listen to anything from Johnny Mercer to U2 to Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack.  Anyway, the other day we were driving along listening in the truck when an old Ray Stevens song came on, “It’s Me Again, Margaret”. I was singing along, laughing to myself when I noticed the confused looks on my children’s faces. Then I realized that my children did not know what a prank call was, they also didn’t know what the sound was at the end of the song, when he mimics a rotary dial phone. Kind of sad, in the day of digital and caller ID, prank calls have gone the way of the Dodo. On the other hand, I also had to explain what the song “The Streak” was, so it wasn’t a total loss.
