Somewhere, there’s a song in this…

  • Upbeat, very danceable “celebrate whatever on any day you feel like it” sort of thing with easy to join in chorus.
  • Melancholic “where have the [insert reason to celebate] of my youth gone” ditty that somehow avoids any “get off my lawn” vibes.
  • Biting satire on global capitalism that is outstripped by reality by the time it is released despite being produced in a home studio over the weekend and uploaded on ALL the platforms right away.
  • Lament of utter despair that makes Leonard Cohen sound like Alvin and The Chipmunks in comparison.

“Dad,” my son once said, “(His then-5-year-old) doesn’t understand why you won’t high-five him.”
“I don’t expect him to understand, and I’m not going to explain myself to him.”
“Well, I don’t understand either,” he said.
“I’m not going to explain myself to you, either,” I said, to his chagrin.
Said grandson is now 15. He has not raised his palm to me since he was 5, and we get along just fine.

So, you’ll explain it to the masses in an opinion piece, but not face-to-face to your flesh-and-blood relatives? That sounds like just the kind of warm relationship with the kind of grandparent that everyone would want.

Wow. Not only did he seriously overthink the use of high-fives he also got it seriously wrong after all his cogitation

I hope that 15 year old grandkid got the love and affirmation he needed from the other adults in his life.

I love the way he says that kids and adults cannot be considered equals, ever. You can’t possible respect a kid enough to treat them as an equal person. If I read this as one of his clients I’d get a new therapist. And his whole schtick of not explaining is just passive-aggressive bullshit.
