Young Folks

As my friends know, I am the only person under the age of 40 who works in my office. I am the only male as well. This makes for some interesting conversations generally.

The radio here is almost always tuned to either 99.5 FM Magic, which plays the best of Michael Bolton and the Bee Gees, or 104.1 WTQR, the contemporary country station that focuses on duets between Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. I make sure to have my iPod fully charged for the eight hours of music I want to block out.

But today during my lunchbreak, I caught the sounds of a familiar whistled melody and went to check it out. Sure enough, the radio was playing Peter, Bjorn, & John's "Young Folks."

Are they mocking me, or is there really hope for society yet?
