Well, At Least She’s Not Texting

Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers

I have children, and they play music.

It’s interesting to me to see what they pluck out of the dump of pop culture to resurrect. It’s very difficult to predict in advance, although we’re more or less the same people on the cellular level. We got all the nature and more unadulterated nurture than any public school kids are ever going to get, and yet they are their own people with their own opinions. On second thought, that premise is exactly wrong. Of course they think for themselves. They don’t attend public schools where that’s not allowed.

So I can say with some standing that somewhere, Nicki Bluhm’s parents are scratching their heads and muttering, “Hall and Oates? Really?”

Sure, why not?
