It doesn't surprise me when I'm unfamiliar with the music my students are listening to, though I do like a fair amount of recent music for a middle-aged guy, but I am still surprised on occasion at how few of the students are familiar with certain celebrities from the last few decades. We asked like half a dozen students in the building the other day, and none of them had any idea who Alanis Morisette was. These are university students. I realize she wasn't on the same tier of fame with Madonna and Marilyn Monroe, but I think if I'd asked the same thing 10 years ago all of them would have known who she was.

You've actually met current college students who know who Marilyn Monroe is?

I doubt I could name 5 post-2000 songs.

I messaged a friend this week that I couldn't believe Frau Blucher - AKA (Cloris Leachman) - had turned 93. He replied kids today have no idea who Frau Blucher is. Sad, but true. (For those here who don't know, google, or better yet, watch "Young Frankenstein.)

I think it's been a good 25 years since the kids got Frau Blucher references. Same goes for Lilly von Schtupp.
