This is an interesting way to put a spin on things: Does the perception change because it's his *father*? I'll be 40 years old in October. I have records in this room by every single artist mentioned by Robert above. I also own records that Robert talks about or asks about. I could easily have a 15 year old kid now. I'd be chuffed if they picked up "Unknown Pleasures" :-) Music. It's not a father/son schism. It's a continuum. - Greg
