Lament for my lost youth
When did I become the sort of person who learns about hip-hop from NPR's Morning Edition?
I love all these programs, and am a total NPR junkie. But you gotta admit, by the time a rap act reaches Morning Edition, it's no longer the Next Big Thing.
What? Scott Simon is not hip and with it? You mean NPR is not the happening place for the Next Big Thing? Wait,do people still say 'hip' and 'with it'....

Probably about the same time you became the sort of person who wears her running cloths in the shower...
NPR rocks. I listen to their shows a-l-l the time.
I love NPR! I listen to it at the start of my early AM runs.
Definately coincides with the running somehow.
And ya gotta love "This American Life".
