Didn't Your Daddy Rock n Roll?

I was going through the source code of the Eliza program last night trying to make some sense out of the javascript when I felt asleep. When I woke up at about 4:00 am there was something weird on the radio. It was a programme where listeners can call in to talk about their encounters with the unseen.

On the air was a 46 year old caller complaining about the focus and purpose of the silly programme. He was rather pissed off with the DJ's futile attempt at unravelling things he didn't understand. And in his self-defence, the DJ said the programme was actually aimed at the younger listeners who enjoyed heavy rock music in between those ghost stories. Or something like that as I was not fully awake yet then.

The next caller was a 49 year old caller who actually wanted to share his spooky experience. I was wide awake by the time. Again the DJ went off key by saying, "49! I should be playing the joget (a form of Malay traditional music) after this!"

Those remarks were really uncalled for. It was very unprofessional of him to imply that people of certain age group should not be listening to his programme and worse still, participate by giving views different to his own! After failing to defend his stand on the purpose of this programme, he went on to display his ignorance of music history by assuming that people over 40 don't listen to rock music!

Hey, where was he when rock music started? Can he barely imagine what Woodstock was like?
