40, going on 70 some days, 12 others, depending on mood, weather, and other such factors. I, too, am attempting to corrupt the younger generation away from deth mettle and other such musical atrocities. The youngest likes some of the shorter tunes, but doesn't have the attention span yet to appreciate the classics (anything from Tales, The Great Nothing, Grendel, etc...you know what I'm talking about). The eldest is too wrapped up in some pseudo goth phase, where the lyrics go something like "My tear dropped upon your grave, and I smiled as the flower wilted" or other such dreck.
I have the most hope for the middle one, though. Evidently, when I'm at work, she sits at home with the AM stream cranked. She even digs through my library (I'm getting her hooked on Marillion, and she shows a strong liking for neo and classical prog groups like IQ, Transatlantic, etc). I'm so proud of her....
