He recently discovered -- on his own -- Public Enemy, Parliament and the Ohio Players. I busted out the old Public Enemy cassette collection and we had an interesting conversation about hip hop, funk, R&B. I don't like much of the new hip-hop, but it's funny how the kids who discover Public Enemy on their own have similar reactions to mine. So I have lots of hope for this generation.
