Thumbs up? Thumbs down

One of my favorite games to play with Bennett happens on the way to school each morning. We put my ipod on shuffle and listen to the songs that come up. He is allowed to vote on each song with a Caesar-like thumbs-up or thumbs-down. He usually makes the call within 10 seconds. What is remarkable to me is how consistent he is based almost completely on 10 second intros. I confess his penchant runs towards the 80s– specifically big hair and great guitar riffs: Van Halen, Def Leppard, U2. He also bleeds into the 90s: Smashing Pumpkins. He consistently rejects Peter Gabriel, Bruce Hornsby, and anything that smells like sap. Look for us rocking out on Lee Highway around 8:55am on MWF.
