Maybe dad should back off and enjoy the fact that his son wants to talk to him at all.

Thanks RL.
This is the greatest summation of the whole thread. I will back off and relish the fact that my son can talk to me about classic rock. I never really considered he may have taken the rock history course to just have something he can talk to me about that we both relate to. (Forehead slapping moment)
And will, as you say, be forever grateful that he talks to me at all. There are no guarantees that will continue.
Thanks again.
