There is nothing new under the sun (son?)

There is a verse in Ecclesiastes.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (New International Version)

Those words came to me yesterday when my 13 year old son asked me to assist him in downloading some songs from iTunes for his iPod. (help=$$=credit card) Good, I thought, I have an opportunity to see what songs/artists he is listening to and willing to pay cold cash for.

So we search for "Champions"... I'm thinking...it cannot be the one by Queen. Of course there's some artist with a similar song title. Several come up, and he's a bit uncertain, so I ask... "does it go like this?" and I sing it. Verbatim. (amazing how much I CAN remember some days- now why can't I remember to take out the laundry when it's done?)

YEAH, that's the one says he. No way. We look for others. Juke box hero. You're kidding. Another one bites the dust. I am so incredulous I am speechless. (which, you know is rare). Actually I am more than that. I'm giddy. "Are you sure? All these are songs from the 80's!"
Yeah, mom, that's what I like.

So I'm thinking, at least with these songs/artists I know without any doubt which ones I will not approve. (and most of them were his Dad's favorites-shhh)

Have I gotten old enough that my era has come full circle?? Or is this a brief anomaly???
If it is an anomaly, don't tell me. I want to soak in the ignorance for awhile. Because, really, there is nothing new under the sun.

Except this:

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:19.(niv)

Go Lord, because there is nothing we can do ourselves without you. Without you we are doomed to repeat ourselves over and over. Getting nowhere.
