I used to be hip, cool and with it...

Yesterday, the PINK! Nation came to visit IU and put on a concert with some famous musicians and people.  My students were talking about it, and they were talking about this DJ, and this girl from The Hills, and some girl on Gossip Girl.  Those aren't things I was really ever into (DJ mixes, The Hills or Gossip Girl, blah), but I had no idea who the famous visitors were.  When I asked all these questions, they just sort of answered and explain why these people are famous.  I felt the need to assure them that I am normally pretty good with pop culture, they gave me a nice smile and then took off (class was over).  In any case, I realized grad school has made me (somewhat) uncool!  Ha! Well, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with my knowledge of pop culture in Mexico in the 60's and 70's.

Listening to hip(pie) music,
