But that is not an excuse. Lazy brains stay in their comfort zone. Staying young takes work. Hang with the crowd that you feel safe among, is, well, safe. Same could be said of any age. Quincy Jones was old and led music to new ways. The Beetles outpaced the Scarabs. If you are with it, you can appreciate what's good. I suspect the other wants the mundane and trite to be better than it is.
