Duh

I know I've written a couple of times about how I feel old. But last night, I got "the look." You know...the look you get from a person who is younger than you when they are in utter disbelief that you are unaware of some sort of pop culture occurrence.

Last night we went to the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal City Walk for a concert. As we were walking around we noticed a huge crowd, mostly consisting of girls around the age of 12, surrounding a stage upon which was what appeared to be a Justin Bieber wannabe. The crowd and passersby seemed to be abuzz with excitement over this child who was singing and playing the piano for them and we soon got the feeling that maybe he was actually someone famous. Maybe a Disney channel star? Nickelodeon? I did a triple take to make sure it wasn't J Bieb. It wasn't.

Eventually we couldn't handle not knowing who it was so James asked a young man who the kid star was. He said, "Oh, that's Greyson Chance." We must have given him a blank stare or something because that's when we got the look. The look, plus the 'tude. "Greyson Chance...??" His eyes were skeptical. Like we were alien life forms. Finally after we kept staring at him for a while and repeated the name Greyson Chance to the young man's satisfaction, he informed us that Ellen had discovered him on YouTube and now he is super duper famous and we are very uncool for not knowing who he is. Well, he told us the part about Ellen, but his look said the rest.

Here's a link to one of Greyson's early Youtube videos. Imagine him a little older...wearing leather and skinny jeans.
