			I'm thinking like a musician when I say that. What I mean is, don't just learn the stuff that was cool when you were a kid, or the stuff that was cool when the guys who were playing when you were a kid were kids, but (at least) learn the stuff that the guys who were playing when you were a kid were listening to when THEY were kids. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			And you should be okay then. It's a cumulative absorption by each generation, so if you get a few layers in, you're getting deep enough in. See, the guys who were playing when the guys who were playing when you were a kid were kids were listening the guys who were playing when the guys who were playing when THEY were a kid were kids. And on down the line. If you understand your generations' and your father's generations' and your grandfather's generations' music, then you are pretty well covered (back to your grandfather's grandfathers' generations' music and THEIR grandfathers' grandfathers' generations' music, and so on and so forth), unless EVERYONE was dropping the ball.

			OK, I'm thinking a generation in 20 years.
