LOL! My son did the EXACT same thing to me when he was in middle school. It 
was actually some more recent alt rock stuff that was on WMNF during drive 
time. What was embarrassing, evidently, was that mom actually had the music 
blasting as she pulled in to pick him up!

Now that he's older, he actually thinks it's cool that I listen to some of 
the same stuff he listens to. They get over it.

Happy Almost Birthday!
