I should have known Lady Gaga because I've seen/heard her before and have great respect, especially her performing with and reverence for Tony Bennett. And I knew of Ricky Martin back in the day, though I was never into that genre.

I suppose I've become somewhat of an old crank but I still rock out, go hiking, play softball, and make signs for the dozen protests I've been to over the last year. In some ways I'm still that kid with long hair who saw Sly and the Family Stone at the Aragon Ballroom a half century ago, but I'll admit my tastes in music haven't changed all that much.
