Tim describes his father performing simplistic guitar songs about selling wine and naming his dogs after Maya Angelou, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Frederick Douglass, followed by a 47-year-old man performing a song he co-wrote with an 11-year-old about colors.
- An acoustic guitar makes any mediocre performance sound like art, and the room eats it up.
- A 47-year-old guitarist arrives and plays a song he wrote with an 11-year-old kid.
- The song consists entirely of color names: 'rainbow shine blue, green green green, yellow, you're so mellow.'
- Tim's response: children are stupid and their thoughts are worthless, so he won't listen to songs they write.
- Tim's father's wine-salesman folk songs weren't much better—lyrics like 'blue what are you gonna do' and 'red what do you say when it's red.'
- Tim pretends to enjoy the performance while internally checking out, deciding this is the last Christmas he'll endure these family sing-alongs.
