Didn’t Believe It

What are the odds, I asked myself, that in the Joe Biden era a bunch of half-in-the-bag Millennial-aged Navy pilots would stand around and sing “Great Balls of Fire,” a 65-year-old pop song that predates peak boomer-cycle music (’60s and ’70s)? What are the odds that even one of these guys, presuming he/she is a classic rock aficionado, would be able to recite the lyrics to this Jerry Lee Lewis tune like their social security number?

Some Millennials know and respect Dylan/Beatles/Stones/Who/Elton John/Steely Dan/The Band/Hendrix/Allman Bros./CSNY, etc., but they generally regard anything recorded before 1980 as unworthy of comment. Bottom line: Even if you’re up on the Goose history, this scene is kinda bullshit.
