Evening drives with dad = Unexpected music education

So, my dad and I have this new little routine of driving home together in the evenings, and he always tunes in to this KBC radio show called Sundowner. I never really paid attention at first, but man, I gotta admit I’ve been put onto some absolute gems.

But here’s the real kicker: I’ve had my mind blown multiple times realizing that some of the “modern” songs I thought were originals are actually covers… and not even good ones. Like, how did I go this long without knowing?? Some of these newer versions are just straight-up disrespectful to the originals.

Anyway, shoutout to Sundowner (and mzae )for lowkey giving me a proper music education. Anyone else had a similar experience?
