Hit Me With Your Best Shot

I will try to make this simple, so no one has an aneurysm.

This Christmas, I saw a commercial for Guitar Hero. Or was it Rock Band? I'm not sure. The commercial was a mom with her kids (one of them a baby in a high chair), huddled around the TV, watching this video game. They weren't making any eye contact. The mom was sorta playing, and sorta singing. The kids were kinda moving around to the beat, sorta. God, it seemed exhilarating.

Is it too much for me to worry that there will be no new music for the 2028 version of GH if kids don't pick up a real guitar at some point? And where will the next generation come from if said kids don't have a vehicle like the guitar ballad with which to get laid?

If you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or know anyone in either situation, please do what you can to help that future rock star hold a steady beat. And if you have the money to buy a video game console, you have the money to buy a shitty keyboard or guitar from a pawn shop.
That's all I want to say.
