Youth Group

Now that I'm back home, I can restart some of the activities I've missed. On Wednesday evenings, I go with my boy Andrew to the church Youth Group. I sit in the back with a few of the other parents and help perform crowd control. I'm struck by how many of the teens wear shirts for bands of my era. Tonight I saw Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and The Who. How do these kids even know these bands?

Speaking of bands, our Youth Group has a reasonably talented garage band of our own. It consists of four skinny boys with bad haircuts hunched over their guitars, the girlfriend of the bassist as singer, and someone's mom. Like many garage bands, they play too many open fifth chords, but they still have quite a bit of potential.
