On a recent road trip, I noticed that a radio station was playing Top 30 hits; so, in the interests of keeping my brain flexible, I listened. I looked on it as a form of mental exercise.
I didn’t recognize a single song. When the station pooped out at Song #8, I wasn’t sorry, as, like many forms of exercise, this one wasn’t particularly enjoyable. But I gave it the ol’ college try.
Flash forward a few weeks, and the comic strip “Funky Winkerbean” has one character lamenting that he’s no longer hip; and another one telling him to listen to current music to increase his “hip quotient”—like “hip exercises”.
It didn’t work for him, either.

Lol! Remember Mom was always hip to the current music as each of us embraced new artists and songs. She said it helped keep her young.
I do remember, and as the years pass, I marvel at her ability to adapt to the new styles of music. But she was always a forward-thinker.
