    Since she was about 5 when it was released, this isn’t exactly a shock. It’s an anthem for the late X’ers, but she’s a Millennial.

    Yes, yes, I know. But I don’t need Malia to remind me I’m old, I can just turn on the local “oldies” station and listen while they play music that came out when I was in High School šŸ˜€

    Rock ‘n’ roll? Pshaw. When I was your age, we just banged stones together. We were so poor we couldn’t afford the roll.
