A look into my future?
[Read the article: Rock 'n' roll rebellion, redux]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks for the great article on contemporary music eroding the generation gap. I myself found the same gap disappearing at a recent Decemberists show in Minneapolis (as well as an Andrew Bird show) when a quick scan of the audience not only yielded people easily in their 50's as well as toddlers and preschoolers. As a father-to-be, I look forward to the day my kids raid my own cd's ("What are these shiny things, dad?") and we stand in line togehter at First Avenue's all-ages shows.

A great experiment for school
[Read the article: Diet Coke and Mentos]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I actually did this "experiment" with my preschool students to help illustrate what a geyser was. I forget the curriculum theme, but boy, was it fun to shoot pop everywhere!

My child's future, revealed
[Read the article: The littlest giant]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My wife and I are expecting a child in April and you have bestowed upon me a vision of the future. I can't wait to hear my kid singing about prosthetic foreheads and the day Marvin Gaye and Phil Ochs got married.

Hear, Hear!
[Read the article: Tease me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There was a time (around the middle of season two and the "Sawyer Needs Glasses" episode) that I thought Lost was the worst show I had ever loved.
Season three, however, has shown me that the writers are devoted to telling a story (to which the ending and major story arcs have already been decided) and telling it well.
If you need instant gratification, go watch American Idol. If you're an adult, watch Lost.
