My daughter has yet to swipe my Coltrane collection, but she does listen to
classical (her mother's influence), and is learning both the piano and
cello. And I don't have a prob with her thinking I'm uncool or what I listen
to sucks. I love it that she has strong opinions and evolving tastes. That's
all I've ever wanted for my kids -- think for yourself and don't buy the
bullshit. They're both like this, though my son and I are currently bonding
over Marvel and DC comics. What's better than that?
