He really gets it

Scene: I sit on the couch reading while Thin Lizzy's 1979 album, "Black Rose," blasts. Shane sits beside me. He likes hanging out listening to music with his dad.

Shane: "Daddy, what is the singer's name?"

Me: "Philip Lynott."

Shane: "What's the guitar player's name?"

Me: "There are two - Scott Gorham and Gary Moore."

Shane: "What's the drummer's name?"

Me: "Brian Downey."

Shane: "And the piano player's name ?"

Me: "Ahhhhhmmmm, actually they don't have a piano player."

Shane thinks for a moment.

Shane: "Why is rock 'n' roll so loud?"

Me: "Well, it just is. That's what makes it exciting."

Shane: "Other music isn't so loud, is it?"

Me: "No."

We sit listening to "Waiting for an Alibi." A minute passes.

Shane: "Daddy?"

Me: "Yes, Shane?"

Shane: "What color is the singer's shirt?"
