About pop

Just came across something I wrote for The Guardian in 2008, offering a sort of “OK, boomer” sigh avant la lettre, suggesting that old people should stop appropriating pop music. Which in turn prompted this delightful response:

Presumably by ‘old’ the author means himself; he’s bald and looks very boring. Probably not intelligent enough for classical though; Andy Williams fan? Nana Mouskouri?


PS: On a happier note, I’m now in the dictionary. For context, go here.

Clearly this is proof that nobody should ever write anything, ever. Especially not if it involves a personal opinion.
