Generation Gap Leaves Me out of the Loop

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm old! There was a time when I knew something about everything. Maybe that's stretching it a little, but at least I was familiar with what's "hot." That is until this morning. My producer put a story in the show about Hannah Montana. I had no idea who she was. Click on her picture to find out more about her. I checked her out on the internet and found out she's only 14, but she's the hottest thing going. Tickets for her upcoming concert have sold out in 4 minutes and scalpers are getting 4 to 5 times the face value for tickets. Then I found out she's on the Disney Channel. Which brings me to another phenomena I had no idea about, High School Musical.
This movie, turned stage musical, turned ice show is sweeping the world. Apparently 17.2 million people watched the debut of High School Musical 2. I have cable and I do get the Disney Channel but I'm not up on these shows. It sounds like the Disney Channel is hotter than MTV. I guess I'm going to have to change my TV viewing habits and start hanging out with my teen and tween relatives in order to stay up on things, because who knows what else I'm missing.
