Last night, Miss Cellania linked to a video of a five-year old boy playing Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" very well. Pop culture blog Urlesque took this idea and ran with it, compiling ten videos of children, aged three to ten, performing rock songs. The above video is of an eight-year old boy playing "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix.

But seriously, it is obvious that most of these kids actually like what they are doing, and that is why they are so awesome at it. I can't begin to tell you how many kids are taking music lessons because their parents are trying to live through them. I'm cool with people forcing their kids to learn music for the discipline. Heck, I think it's a great thing. But there are a lot of them who are like little emotional parasites.
