It's Memorial Day, which means I'm relaxing, barbecuing and listening to Q104.3. Yes, as the Kiplinger team knows well, I grew up in Jersey, the land of MDW DTS (Memorial Day Weekend down the shore, c'mon) and blasting the local classic rock station so Bruce Springsteen could help celebrate the unofficial start to summer.
But these days as I listen to the classic rock station, I'm starting to get reminded I ain't that young anymore as bands of my childhood, like Green Day and Blink-182, are starting to show up in the "classic" rotation. I felt that way, too, checking out the Kiplinger Retirement Report's new feature on getting to know today's popular music, which is technically a guide for grandparents but was also instructional for this childless millennial. (My favorite find? Greta Van Fleet.)
