As I age I'm going to be cranky and weird; the years won't change me. Remember those rock 'n' roll movies where the parents were dead set against this scandalous new music until some greasy but essentially good-hearted lad saved a whole school bus full of puppies or something and then Mom and Pop sanctioned a record hop right in their living room, bringing in plates of cookies and pitchers of lemonade and even joining in with their own ludicrous attempt at doin' the jerk or the twist as the kids all chuckled and the credits rolled? Anything but that.
