Editor’s Take: A Martha Stewart-Snoop Dogg Retirement Community Would Be Dope

Those who think Snoop Dogg might not hit the boomer sweetspot should consider this observation from Wayne Langley, president of Varsity Branding, a firm focused on the senior market: Last weekend, I attended an NFL playoff game in Los Angeles. As chance would have it, the half time entertainment was Snoop Dogg himself. My initial thought was “how irrelevant”…as I thought he would be far too disconnected from the audience sitting in the stands. To my surprise, as Snoop began to perform, the crowd became energized and incredibly engaged in the highly recognizable song. The entire stadium rang louder than at anytime during the first half—singing along with Snoop. What a lesson to me in the cultural shift and acceptance going on in our culture. If Snoop builds it, they will come!
